Few things that were useful, but overall everything was very generic and not explained in detail. A lot of mentioning of "explained in later videos", which never actually happened.

The course taught me a lot that I did not already know but the instructor did not always follow through with decent explanations on the "how to". Overall the course is enlightening but it really is a for beginners tutorial as stated.
