Muy útil y muy productivo. Y explicado de la mejor forma. Lo único negativo es que el curso se enfoca en el pluggin que realmente es muy caro.

Muy bien explicado, se le entiende a la perfección con los ejemplos que da, como conocimiento super bien, se logran resultados muy interesantes. Solo que si es costoso usar la aplicación, y todavía los clientes no quieren invertir en este sistema si no se les da garantía de resultados óptimos para ellos.

El curso está muy bueno, interesante, lo que considero que falta es que se indique si las publicaciones son solo usando las licencias de Button y por ende, son caras, he estado buscando si se puede hacer una exportación de mi revista como en PDF interactivo desde InDesign pero no he logrado y que sea para PC, el curso enfoca mucho para usuarios Mac. Espero puedan tener más actualizaciones porque no soy el único que busca esto. En general, curso y el profesor muy buenos! Gracias!

El curso está muy bien pero me hubiera gustado saber de antemano los precios de la aplicación. Pensaba que era gratis y me encontré un poco frustrada al saber el elevado precio del plugging.
