Great course for learning the basics of programming w/ Visual Studio 2013.

By Jacob

I really enjoyed this course. It was to the point. All the things I needed to know were presented clearly and were to the point and easy to follow. In less that an hour I had several simple Windows apps developed and running.

Now it is just a matter of taking what I learned and creating my own apps

By JohnD

The content covered all of the basics and were easy to understand the topics presented.

The videos sounded fine the presentations need a little more color. but the content was clearly presented and explained by the instructor.

The deliver method was to the point and engaging, I liked the fact there were challenges to test what I learned and he also provided answers or samples of the completed challenges so I could see the problems I had in a couple of the projects and saw what I did wrong.

To the point, good explanations. Thanks

By Joe Posge

Good foundation and explanations of details. Would like to see a bit more actual programming rather than go over written code.
