I would like to hear more details about how exactly things work that the instructor is doing. Sometimes it is not clear for me and I just follow without understanding what I am doing.

This was a great course. Very well explained and detailed. API is outdated which is mentioned in the details but working around with the new pro --but still free-- API helps to learn and everything still works perfect.
