Impressed
I decided to write this review on two grounds. First being that this is my first course taken through Udemy and second being that I begin learning this from scratch. The only kind of code writing I've ever done is with HTML, and that is hardly anything near C/C++/Obj-C. I'm very impressed with how Mr. Lasoff has has set up the course and it is very easy to follow along with the videos and labs. The labs are a bit of a brain teaser as some of the things that are required of you in the labs you must figure out for yourself. Mr. Lasoff may have covered the basics of the concept being covered, but it is expected of you to use some higher level thinking in order to finish the lab. I understand where he comes from when doing this as you will not always have something to look back on in order to finish the task at hand. For this, I applaud him on as it teaches you to do a little problem solving for yourself and not to rely on others too much. With that being said, he is also there to answer questions you may have with the assignments or lab exercises. You may not receive an immediate response, but he usually gets around to answering you in a day or two. This may be frustrating for some as they want things immediately, but a response a day or two later is better than nothing at all. All in all, I gave the course a 4/5 rating as it taught me a great deal of C and was a nice intro into programming for me. I am however bummed in the fact that I could've just taken the Obj-C programming course and skipped this, but it will help me transition and learn faster in the long run I hope.
