  • Third in 3 courses series and this one is a bit different. There are no lectures, practice only. To finish the course you need to use knowledge from 2 previous courses. It's nice experience, because it allows you to implement and check all the skills you've gained so far, but from the other hand, it creates some imbalance and makes the exercises a bit tedious. I believe it would be better to place these practical tasks throughout the course.
