Summary: Best course ever. Hunker down, commit yourself to it and you will learn useful things guaranteed. The instructor took me from zero to roll-your-own crowd-funding site in a matter of 3 months. It was accessible, engaging and confirmed my suspicions that the software fueling internet start-ups is ever-changing and I shouldn’t try to keep up. But, most importantly, I learned that I can learn to internet if I need to. And if I have a problem that isn’t answered on StackOverflow, give up.
