It was a good experience with a good teacher, but it is teaching an old version GSAP. I started this course a few years ago but quit, because nothing was working for me and I didn't know why. After gaining more experience in web development, and more confidence in figuring out why things don't work, I came back to this course determined to figure out what I needed to, and am now familiar with current GSAP syntax and I feel a little proud of myself for getting things to work despite the lack of updates from the instructor, and I appreciate that he left a note that he would not be updating it. I learned from the course anyway.

It's a good learning source. Good and clear explanations. Quick reply whenever it was needed. However it is somewhat outdated, and you might have to do some research into how to make it work with more modern syntax. Overall a great first introduction to GSAP and what it can do.

I learned a lot from this course, but there are some short comings (creating SVG screen is only an overview and jquery is used for the final project). Plus, I recently learned that there are changes in the newer versions of GSAP which make this course outdated (taught in GSAP 1, current GSAP 3/5 uses a new object reference).
