Excelente curso, muy buen contenido. Algunas tareas son un poco tediosas, pero valen la pena. Todo en inglés, así que también sirve como práctica si tu primer idioma no es el inglés.

Lo que si recomiendo es en la traducción en español, aveces no se entendia la pregunta. Y en algunas actividad no aparecia la traducción en español. Como opinión! El resto excelente
