I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

Extremely well taught, and a highly positive approach towards teaching the subject. The topics were comprehensive for a foundational program and created a lot of excitement for the upcoming courses.
