I like this course. It is a lot of information at one time, but if you just use one new program or app it is beneficial.

I think that the course had a lot of great resources. I like that it gave you a quick glimpse of the tools. However, this particular video is from 2013, it is now 2019. I am worried that the apps and tools I want to check out will no longer be there.
