Ho seguito diversi corsi (di altri software) ma questo è uno dei migliori in assoluto. Spiegazioni semplici e con tempistiche giuste (ne lente e noiose ne troppo veloci), esposizione chiara ed efficace! Peccato che il docente non abbia fatto un corso ancora più approfondito e corposo (sulle nuove release magari).. lo acquisterei immediatamente!
