Acabo de terminar el curso, uno de los más completos que he visto.
Me gusta mucho que usa solo las herramientas nativas de los programas y da todo el material para poder completar el curso. (Excepto el "X_Distort", no dice cómo instalarlo, pero es relativamente sencillo).
Me gustaría tomar otros cursos de este mismo profesor.
