I think so far it been giving me best of knowledge though have not finish the course i am running, buh i love it anyway.
Fantastic course for very beginners. I have no prior coding experience, this helped me learn how to think about coding as an exercise and prepares me to learn new programming languages.
Was fun to dive in with this course. Projects were entertaining and great to learn from.
