Student Feedback
Mike went over and beyond as far as what he shared with us. Not only did he cover the course material, he also include tricks, tips and shot cuts on what he has learnt over the years to help us with our programming and testing going forward. I think the knowledge add ins will make following these guidelines, programming and testing, so much easier, saving tons of time going forward. Thank you Mike for being so good.
I very much enjoyed this class and I know I will be able to apply what I have learned today.
Excellent course, content and location. So far the courses I've taken here were complete and very enjoyable, and allowed me to take away new skillset.
