Let me share my CRP knowledge secrets with you
Understanding the Critical Rendering Path will enable you to become an awesome programmer. Take control through understanding. Delivering a fast web experience requires a lot of work by the browser. Most of this work is hidden from web developers: we write the markup, and a nice looking page comes out on the screen. But how exactly does the browser go from consuming our HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to rendered pixels on the screen? By understanding this, you will be able to write better code in order to boost your website traffic, know how to precision fix and tweak behaviour and performance, improve your market penetration and your margins. You’ll also gain an advantages over other developers who seem to just push the buttons without fully appreciating what is happening.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE
In this course you’ll learn about the Critical Rendering Path. This refers to the set of steps browsers must take to fetch and then convert HTML, CSS and JavaScript into living, breathing websites. From there, you’ll start exploring and experimenting with tools to measure performance. You’ll learn simple, yet very powerful strategies to deliver the first pixels to the screen as early as possible.
Knowledge of the CRP is incredibly useful for understanding how a site's performance can be improved. There are various stages to the CRP, such as constructing the DOM, constructing the CSSOM, running JavaScript, creating the Render Tree, generating the Layout and finally Painting pixels to the screen. As you can see, this covers a whole bunch of interesting material.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to “speak” CRP by gaining an understanding of how to fetch data from a server and then get that data to your user as quickly as possible. We dig deeper in every lecture, learning about things like HTTP, TCP, data packets, render blocking resources, and a whole bunch more! This course has many bonus lectures which extend your knowledge base and test your skills.
Through practical examples, this course helps you understand the CRP piece by piece. And we use the latest and best features of JavaScript and browsers (like the new Fetch API) along the way so you can stay ahead of the pack.
*** A comprehensive Web Development course on Udemy ***
Successful programmers know more than rote learning a few lines of code. They also know the fundamentals of how web development works behind the scenes. If you’re wanting to become a full stack developer, you need to know how to deal with server requests and responses, loading, scripting, rendering, layout, and the painting process of the pixels to the screen.
I want you to become a successful programming Grandmaster.
I want you to be able to apply what your learn in this course to your webpage.
This course is perfect for you.
A unique view
Understanding web development is a vast topic. To get you up to speed, I’ve spent many months thinking about where to focus content and how to deliver it to you in the best possible way.
You will learn "why" things work and not just "how". Understanding the fundamentals of web development is important as it will allow you to write better code. And trust me, every website encounters bugs and slow rendering times, and without understanding the fundamentals you will be totally lost.
How is this course different?
There are lots of great courses on web development. Pity they never get into the detail about how we get our website to your users screen as quickly as possible – which covers full stack development.
In this course, I focus on true web performance. This includes server requests and responses, loading, scripting, rendering, layout, and the painting of the pixels to the screen.
Practice makes perfect
Theory is theory … but there’s nothing like getting behind your computer and typing in code. That’s why we will be coding, laughing and pulling out our hair together as we code real life websites and exercises during this course.
I love practical examples, which is why we build simple pages and analyze the CRP together by using the Network Panel, Performance Panel and Audit Lighthouse within DevTools.
Is This Course for You?
Absolutely! This course is suitable for all levels of web developers. If you identify with any of these categories, it’s perfect for you:
Beginner Programmers: Learn HTTP fundamentals that apply across languages.
Web Performance Enthusiasts: Gain a solid understanding of how to optimize site speed.
Aspiring Backend Developers: Understand AJAX requests.
Curious Learners: Discover how the Critical Rendering Path works behind the scenes.
Frustrated Students: If previous courses left you confused about web development concepts.

I appreciate my checkered past and often learnt things the hard way, through hard slog and trial and error.
I like to master what interests me, and share my successes with others.
My goal is to benefit my students most, to empower them with key knowledge and information not available in other courses.
A few words about me:
· I don’t care about titles
· Understanding means less mistakes later, and mistakes cost time
· My first computer was a box, installed with MS-DOS and Windows 95.
I'm an avid gamer
I’ve been coding for a long time. At the age of 7, in the early 90’s, I got my first pc and a few days later I became an avid gamer. I have always surrounded myself with coders. I still recall the days of floppy disks and playing “Doom”, “Duke Nukem” and of course one of my all-time favorites, “Red Alert”.
I’ve always been around computers, and that’s what makes my teaching style direct, to-the-point, and powerful!
Anyone can learn to write advanced code with the right attitude, and the right guidance. I invest 100% of my effort and thought into my students and how to present EVERY lecture to your advantage. I try to enhance your learning experience and accelerate your skill development. My aim is to teach you simply and clearly, in a fun way.
A big thank you to my students who continue to support me and provide ratings and feedback - I appreciate you.
