I thought the quizzes and practical assignments were quite helpful to building my basic understanding of how to write code.

This guy is essentially recording himself reading a manual and going through coding exercises. This is in no way more helpful than a powerpoint presentation. He may be knowledgeable but he isn't qualified to teach. It seems like he did the bare minimum to get paid.

Each lecture is explained clearly with downloadable files to review what I learned. The files are straight to the point and arranged in a clear way.

The course gives a good basic outline of how the programs function and some understanding to what coding is about, but no insight into the structure of why they function this way. It shows you to click here and here and do this, but does not explain why... or where it comes from / how it fits into the bigger picture.

Provides useful information, but pace is a bit too fast for absolute beginners.
