Reviews

great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.

Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.

Course was great and informative. The instructor had a good flow and was very personable.

Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
