    Truly brilliant! A very enjoyable and useful course! The explanations are crystal clear and taught in a very engaging manner. This course is peculiar in the sense that it does not propose much practice, except for simple quizzes that are imbedded…

    It's unclear when you take this course and kind of funny. It tells you what is this vs that? Not actually teach you software engineering or development.
