This simple idea grew to define me; it made me become an entrepreneur.              As I strived to gain freedom, overtime I realized that with everything that you do you can either (1) convince someone, somehow, to...

A veces va un poco rápido, pero con irlo pausando un poco te enteras de todo perfectamente y te va funcionando todo. Muy bien explicado, muy paso a paso. Se nota que sabe mucho del tema. :))

Before we reached the JQuery + API section, I had some difficulty in gaining intuition of what is going on in the course. However once we hit JQuery and API, the course content was very straightforward and intuitive.

Finished the course, here are my final thoughts:
1. No actual deployment practice offered
2. A lot of the times, no explanations on what's the intuition behind certain choices he makes.
3. Especially around static serve section, very difficult to follow.
4. Regardless, I was having fun building bits by bits, where I started to see changes in the application.
