Teaching Methodology
This a hands on course where you will be building projects from scratch and hence is suitable for all levels. I believe that the best way to learn any technology is by getting your hands dirty, so lecture:demo ration is 50:50.
Course Structure
Every session begins with key learning, background on the feature and then goes on to show hands on demo that students can follow along or just download the code if they are stuck at any point during the course of the lecture.
How Long Will it Take To Complete this course?
The entire video lecture is a little over 120 minutes, however given the number of hands on demo, I expect that it will take between 4-6 hrs to complete the entire course. So you can practically finish this entire course over a weekend or in week during your lunch.
