A good overview. Presentation was purely PowerPoint text coupled with a lecturer. Would be nice to add some exercises to ensure comprehension of users/learners.

By Jason Berkowitz on 3/30/2017

This class was quite informative, objective, and interesting considering the subject material. What's keeping my rating from 5 stars? A bit more content would increase the value of the course. Overall, I heartily recommend!
