    This course surprised me in its applicability to software development. It is a great first course in establishing a foundation of programming before actually doing any programming itself.

    I gained so much basic knowledge that i couldn't find anywhere as collected and detailed as here. This might be the best platform and now i am going to enroll for other courses too.

    El curso es muy didactico y sensillo de asimilar, en mi caso me hizo recordar muchas cosas que aprendí en la universidad y que por la premura del trabajo se las deja de lado.
