De oefeningen leren mij handig te worden met de software en de stappen logisch voor te bereiden voor ontwikkelaars. De cursus is wel toe aan een versie update. Gelukkig kon ik gemakkelijke de oudere versie van deze cursus downloaden en de cursus prima volgen.

Overall, this course is just a Sketch tutorial and how to create icons. It doesn't touch more than a couple seconds on actual UI mobile patterns for iOS and Android. If you are already skilled at graphic design (and especially if you are already well-versed in Sketch), don't waste your time. Also, It is annoying because there are double videos (old Instagram version and new version, but same content in both). It makes you watch both of them in order to compete the course and get the certificate. Such a waste of time.

Very good course for anybody who would want to get into design and sketch. It would be even great if we could get more sketch functionalities tour and the ideal place for using those tools. Cheers guys, very good job.
