It's been less than an hour, but this is exactly what I wanted!
I'm happy I found this course.

After 1 month into it.... The screen shots and video does not reflect the current version. I have to Google to find out how to get to what the instructor is doing. I'm not able to complete the exercises because I'm struggling with the screens laid out with what's on the developer portal.

Please update this video to align with the latest release.

Accent so think on "instructor" he needs sub-titles but they sub-titles go by so quickly you can't read them and you can't understand him, so you have you to keep backing up and trying to catch the text before it disappears. Then with 5 hours left in the course the links to software needed stop working and delivering what is needed. VERY disappointed.
