It is fascinating function to use cloud server during learning along with guided screen is side by side. You don't need to have software to get hands-on training.

It was an important decision point to determine the proper method and cost to make a homepage for my new business. After this class, I decided to make it by myself with less cost.

The guided course video need to be updated to be in line with the current version of WordPress that is available. Other than that, very clear course, good for the basics.
