Mark was an excellent instructor, knew the course material like the back of his hand, and could answer all questions without hesitation. Overall it was an excellent 2 days.
(4.80 out of 5) Connie K [ 23 April, 2018 ]
Mark explained himself clearly. I liked the pace with which the course ran, however there were a few moments were I was writing code and missed some of the explanation and got lost. I felt I needed just a few minutes extra to flick between notes, projector and my screen or digest concept. Having said that I would not want to slow it down too much either. After lunch day two got a little complex, but I am grateful for the exposure regardless. I also like the notes used in class. Very easily understood and followed the instruction, explanation or examples given in class, i.e. it cemented what we were doing.
