Xan Barksdale
Very professional worker who is extremely knowledgable in WordPress and Wishlist Member. I would definitely hire again.
Daniel Mohlendick
On the Freelancing on Upwork course: “This is by far the best course i have watched on Skillshare!! Thank you so much.”
Bob Patterson
Not only is John a very talented programmer and developer, he is also an excellent communicator. He has a talent for taking complex subjects and communicating them in terms that anyone can understand. This is a rare combination. This ability has enabled me to take my skills and knowledge to the next level. Thank you John for for all that you do.
Chris Aitken
He significantly improved my site through his expert knowledge of PHP, CSS and Javascript. Would definitely recommend John to others.
Thabo Motsoahae
John is one of the best instructors I have come across, I learned a lot from his online tutorials.
Sukh Plaha
John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!
Bradley Smith
John and I have worked together on numerous projects. John is very quick and efficient and was a pleasure to work with.
