This course would have been great when it was first made available, however, a lot of the resources were not currently supported. I also found it odd that resources which have been found to be problematic (roblox) or that would not be allowed on district provided resources would be recommended.

Strongly suggested: READ the description of the course beforehand. I went with just the name of the course.
At the beginning, I didn’t see how I could use much of the information. However the last section was beyond useful. I just wish the presenter would have not presented in such a rush. This is definitely a course for those interested in programming or gaming.
