It was though I would have liked something more challenging
By Szymon on 9/24/2020
Good for refreshing the basic syntax, briefly, without delving into the subject matter,
By Gary on 8/15/2020
Awesome, I've done a small amount of coding before 20 years ago and now this helped me to just dive in.

It was great introductory course with decent materials available as well

Nice
By David Morejon on 6/8/2020
Its a good start but it need more variety, it takes very-small steps. And not really worth 20 bucks I would say its more of a $5-$10 lesson.
By Mario Rivera on 6/3/2020
So far I can see it is a good course, short lessons helps a lot and explanations which the teacher gives
By Colby Tong on 6/1/2020
It seems a bit slow so far.
By Matthew Sparks on 5/23/2020
Very simply presented. Short, sweet and to the point. Gets you into coding quickly and painlessly.

Nicely explained through examples!!

Liked it a lot. thanks.
By Jeremy Farnum on 4/11/2020
It was great to learn by doing rather than just listening to a lecture and watching slides. Very engaging. Plus the instructor was easy to follow and understand for a completely inexperienced user.
