I've been delivering software for nearly two decades and was very helpful to do a refresher on the basics, options and evolution of the space. Well presented and engaging delivery of the topics.

Quite disappointed in the quality of the course. The staff did not reply to comments in the discussion forum, there was no syllabus, at one point even links to youtube instead of creating their own content, and the quality of the assessments (especially the peer review ones) were quite poor. One criteria for a good rank was to write a "creative" story. Overall this course is nothing I would pay for.

Instrustor's knowledge and ecplanation were extremely poor, he didn't lecture all the needs to answer quizes, or weekly test. Extremely disappointed by lack of professional education
