I liked the tone of the presenter. He really was there to help me understand, and the fact that he could and did make mistakes and correct them as he went along made me like him. What he taught me will help as I follow this roadmap to e-publishing. This is the course to which I'll go back over and over to really get this thing down.

So far, the author seems very prepared. He provided a comprehensive sheet of links to get the lesson started off right and simple - to-the-point, easy-to-understand explanations. I'm looking forward to further sections in the course.
