This is the best course for Instagram. You explained everything in a excellent way especially you described the MVC design pattern in a convenient way and the structure of data in Firebase Database that was so easy to understand. You were very friendly while teaching. :D Thank you so much for making this course Stephan :)

This is only for advanced developers. In the world of things being perfect, which usually it isn't :), there is a video missing even though Stephen explains however you have to do some investigation from the source code. (The Constants file). The explanations are not perfect. However over all for the price of $15 is great.

This course has greatly increased my coding skills & confidence, doing everything programmatically made me really understanding what’s going on under to hood “if you know what I mean”. 😀. Money well spent!!!
