Reviews
I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.
Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.
