Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

Curso ótimo para quem deseja mudar de área. O primeiro curso, apesar de introdutório, já nos apresenta bastante conceitos e temos a sensação de realmente estar aprendendo algo, e não apenas mais um curso para "fazer volume".
