The course is really detailed on the tool. In my opinion the part of the formatting is not as interesting. To my preference more time and examples to create projects and conditional an practical examples.

Alun made what I thought was going to be a very boring course actually fun and interesting. His stories and examples helped clear up confusion and helped me to remember the amount that I did. He was very knowledgeable, polite and had ears/time for everyone.
