Better than the previous course in terms of structure and content, still think more practice exercises for each week would be beneficial beyond just copying the video.

Reviewed on Dec 6, 2015

I enjoyed how concise the videos were, there was a lot of information per unit of time, and it was challenging, but not too much so.

Reviewed on Jan 23, 2017

I learned a lot - I look forward to it being updated to Swift 3 - I'll take it again then.
