The code is outadated, the resources for the class being the new added code is infuriating because if you are lost in your code and want to use the updated version for that class, you are out of luck. Teaching skills are none-existant and using pre-made code to then explain what every line does is not teaching. The calendar will not work and you will have trouble just trying to follow the classes. not worth your time or money. Truly dissapointing...
