Unfortunately the Audio is Not Matching the Video + the Video Recording is Not showing the complete screen of the Tool (GitHub), so some important Interactions with the User Interface of github is Not visible. Here the User gets lost. This combined with asynchronious Audio leads to a very Bad experience of the course.

By Manuel Sommer on 11/5/2025

Leider war Audio / Video nicht synchron und die Arbeitsschritte waren teilweise nur schwierig nachzuvollziehen. Trotzdem eine gute Übersicht über die Tools und Möglichkeiten mit Git und GitHub.

By Jose Angelo V. Cruz III on 10/24/2025

An engaging course that makes Git and GitHub simple and fun, perfect for beginners to master version control and start building real projects confidently. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Some as others have said is not in time with the video. Some bits I felt could have been explained more or better, as just sometimes difficult to follow due to this unfortunately.

By Nopy 327 on 4/18/2025

its alright, hes explaining it but some things are left unclear but its alright i guess i mean like its not like a super super duper lecture or anything like that. he does explain a lot of things tho, i got a better picture of github now

By Wilson Jaimes on 2/2/2025

I was a complete course, great instructor and good explanations about the topics covered.

By Jonatán Caleb Zavala Suárez on 1/31/2024

It was a very good course, but some of the videos have the audio a bit delayed and sometimes makes it a bit confusing to keep up with both the video and the explenation.
