En cuanto a teoría si se aprende bastante ,se nota que Solimán conoce la materia a profundidad pero en cuanto a la práctica la explicación termina siendo un tanto confusa en cuanto a la publicación de colecciones, pero realmente analizando en retrospectiva es complejo por el manejo de código y encontrar las plataformas para cargar grandes cantidades de datos, sin embargo logré crear mi primera colección y ese era el objetivo, GRACIAS!Eso sí no diría que es para un nivel inicial.

Cours trop complexe pour des débutants; les explications sont très techniques et l’artiste parle très vite ; j’ai été vite perdue et je n’ai pas pu aller au bout de la formation. Elle correspond à des personnes à mon avis déjà un peu initiées. j’aurais aimé une approche beaucoup plus simple. Déçue de mon achat.
