This is definitely not for beginners, so don't pitch it that way. This is a pretty advanced course. I'm sure it is a great course if have a degree in computer science, but it is way over my head. Just not what I was expecting.

The code base on which the amtchmaker project is being built upon is itself broken.So a lot of manual bug fixing had to be done and sometimes that becomes too tedious.Also the explantion is primarily focused on a unix shell , so as a windows user I had a hard time incorporating the instructions.
