ProCreo que el curso es extremadamente básico, y no siento que hay aprendido nada ... al menos nada nuevo, el contenido es más digno de un video blog ... sinceramente de poder hacerlo lo cambiaría por otro, espero que domestika lea esto y me conceda esa petición, lo siento por el docente porque parece saber mucho, pero no enseña "nada".

Para iniciarse esta bien, aunque el contenido realmente se podría resumir en la mitad o más de tiempo. Pero como primera toma de contacto no está mal. Pagué 9,90€ por el curso, y por ese precio está bien.
