Me ha gustado, pude hacer mi primer patrón. Recomendado
This course was very informative, well‑structured, and covered the topics in great depth. I truly recommend it.
Really enjoyed this course, the attitude of the teacher is really nice and inviting--sometimes I find that very helpful to dive into a subject, even if that's not the primary reason I take a course. The techniques are helpful and presented well, too.
The course is a good one , very good explanation , a lot of different subjects for using . Great colors and a lot of funny things .
