I have taken loads of online course on different subjects before and didn't expect much in the beginning. I find that often online courses don't convey much condensed knowledge - this is the first one where I get the impression of "taking a whole lot of stuff home with me" and that I will actually be able to use it next day :-) No blabla.
Precise, down-to-the-nitty-gritty, valuable expert tips from people who know their area!
