It seemed to provide the necessary programs we will need, both paid and free versions.

I am a self-taught web designer, but the explosion of programs, techniques, and all the rest left me considerably befuddled. One thing about being self-taught is it's pragmatic; you use what works, but not necessarily the best way to do things. You also miss out on essentials. You also spend much more time fiddling than if you had a solid base from which to work.

Jame's course filled in most of those gaps. The course was well laid out, easily understood, and full of valuable snippets of information that I have duly noted for future use.

He is a very natural teacher, takes his time and shows the learner every step as he goes through the lessons. The lessons themselves are short enough to grasp the concepts without being overwhelmed.

Now for a few suggestions. I have also taught computer-assisted language learning at a post-grad level to international students, so I learned a lot about pedagogy on these things.

So to James:

1) When you are moving from one directory to another, showing how things fit together, please take it a bit more slowly. One of my biggest hassles was I was following you along nicely, but as I'm on a PC using a totally different suite of tools, I had to stop, backtrack to figure out where you were. Please bear this in mind for future students.

2) Be sure things are upgraded on the course site. I did send you a couple of requests, which you answered quickly (Thanks!) about where the downloads were.

3) If you are going to revamp or upgrade the course in future, you might think about giving "homework" assignments. You did mention we should practice, but often a directed bit of practice is extremely useful, and gives the student a set of concepts to learn and use.

I enjoyed the course immensely, and I thank you and Udemy for putting this up.
