The course is not updated for the latest updates in Truffle, Solidity and Web3.js. It does not update the older lessons with fixes but instead assumes that you have written everything already and then shows you how to update from Truffle 4 to Truffle 5. Even in the videos where this update is shown, some files are different from what you have previously written. My guess is that some videos were removed to only show the update. Questions are also not being answered on the Q&A section. The creators of this course also send you to purchase their new interactive eBook instead of updating the course with new material. I have learned a lot from this course. It is very well structured and the material is delivered in a great and concise way. I was forced to figure out version conflicts, bug fixes, PowerShell commands, and a variety of errors using StackOverflow or by myself, which was a huge waste of time. Without that I would guess that I would have finished this course in half the time. With all that in mind, 2.5 stars is deserved since I learned something but I wouldn't reccomend this course to someone who wants to learn the most recent way to write Smart Contracts.
