I like this course, it was quick, it taught me all there is and took away from it a good dose of practice. However, the course is from 2015. It uses for instance Firebug Firefox pug-in. Currently this plug-in is no longer there, becuase it is integrated in Mozilla itself as a "inspect elemnt". I did not chekced so far, how Less changed since 2015, but the current commands work OK. But that keeps me wondering, what did changed since 2015 in Less? Also from the start of the course it eels like the course was originaly on company old web site and after few years they decided to put the course here to earn extra buck. There is no issue with it, but since this course is only 2 hours long, it just begs a new version for 2019, al least just to show to tudents, you care about your products and that you want the best knowledge for them to learn. Still anyone, who takes this 2019 will learn a lot. :-)

I found the instructor to be easy to understand, well spoken, and knowledgeable about the topic. The course spends a fair bit of time covering extreme basics (e.g. how to copy and paste), but I don't count that against it. By the time it's done, it does cover some genuinely time-saving features of LESS 1.4 that can still be applied to the current version (2.5.3). I definitely recommend this course to anyone curious about LESS or looking to see what a CSS pre-compiler can do for you.

He spends a lot of time explaining how copy and paste works. Also looks to be using a version of windows that most younger users probably wont even remember.
