El curso es bueno, pero necesita actualizarse, el plugin de chrome de scraper incluso tiene por ahí un comentario advertencia sobre la seguridad de la misma.

La verdad que fue una buena elección haber comprado este curso entre los demás que hay de visualización. Me gustó mucho que nos de bibliografía, que nos ponga los links de los recursos y las hojas de cálculo. Muy buena intro al scraping de datos y a Tablau, me gustó que haya hablado de los atajos de las hojas de calculo y cuando no funcionan. Lo único que por ahí no se entendió bien es lo de como funcionan las fórmulas si no fijas las filas/columnas, pero nada mas.

Muy buen contenido, pero ya está muy viejo como curso.
Los programas, el sistema operativo son antiguos. Los enlaces de recursos no todos funcionan y algunos ejemplos no son actualizados y pierden validez.
Me sirvió mucho como conocimiento de base. Pero la experiencia no fue buena.
Sugiero a Doméstica de poner la fecha de elaboración de los cursos. Si hubiera sabido, hubiera escogido otro.
Gracias.
