Instructor
Hello! I'm Fatah Gabrial, an enthusiastic web development instructor passionate about teaching practical skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP and MySQL. With decades of experience in web design and development, I've built thousands of projects, including custom PHP scripts and WordPress themes used by various companies.
My journey into teaching began during the Covid-19 pandemic when traditional training institutes closed their doors. I transitioned to online platforms like many others, but I sought a more efficient way to share my knowledge. That's when I discovered Udemy, and I was inspired to create courses that could empower learners by teaching once and reaching many.
As a self-taught web designer and developer, I believe in a hands-on approach to learning. My teaching philosophy follows the 80/20 rule, where 80% of my courses focus on practical applications, while only 20% covers theory. This method ensures that my students gain the essential skills needed to excel in the ever-evolving world of web development.
I’m also an internet enthusiast, constantly researching dynamic projects to create innovative solutions. My goal is to provide every student with a comprehensive, practical guide in each course they enroll in, helping them build the skills necessary to succeed in their careers.
Join me on this exciting journey, and let’s unlock the world of web development together!
