Excellent course the teacher is prepared and knows a lot and is very clear when explaining...!!
I remember I took this course because I wanted to learn minimal CS to program the Hubot. Obviously I am not a good fit for the intended audience.
Excellent. Clear and easy to understand.
Better search google and read some basic articles.
Not grea
Good Course
This does not go far beyond what you can learn by simply perusing the CoffeeScript site (in much less time). Poor audio quality on many of the lectures.
