My 1st complaint is it’s prounouned ‘AT-tri-bute’ not ‘at-TRIB-ute‘ when used as a noun. It’s only at-TRIB-ute when used a verb. I know it sounds nit picky but when you’re teaching a paid class being able to properly describe the items your working with is rather important and it was distracting being repeatedly mispronounced throughout the course. My second complaint is there are course contents out of order. 107. Create a basic visualforce controller is in Section 26 LWC. It should instead be within Section 22 Visualforce Pages, where the standard controllers and custom components are discussed or Section 24 Visualforce Controllers. As well 71. Subscribe to platform events is within section 17 Asynchronous Apex and should instead be in Section 15 Platform Events ahead of 65. Publish Platform Events. There may be others as well, i skipped the sections i was already familiar with. There needs to be a review to make sure the course is in order. In 73. Invocable methods there was an upsert action within a for loop. Even as a demo that should never be done. It was very very briefly mentioned within 53. DML statements that you shouldn’t do that and it was disappointing to see a build being done with a very obvious issue in regards to bulkification. Overall did i enjoy the course? not really. Was it the worst thing I ever watched? No, but would I recommend it to someone looking to learn to code, definitely not. Outside of the issues above, i don't feel like any of the concepts were explained particularly well. The repeated, im showing this now but we'll talk about it in another section made it feel like the course content wasn't really thought out. As well any of the concepts I wasn't familiar with before this course, i don't feel like I'm any significantly more knowledgeable on than i was before. I'm left wondering where i go to actually learn about the topics enough to use them. And i certainly don't feel like i could pass the Dev 1 exam after watching the content.
