    The course was a good one to start my subject in game development. The course brought the most out of the subject as it mostly focuses on both beginner level and as well as for intermediate level. You don't need to have any experience to start the course as you can get along with the course very easily.

    I recently completed a programming course and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to code. The course was well-structured and covered all the fundamental concepts of programming in a clear and concise manner. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, always available to answer questions and provide guidance. The course was interactive, with plenty of hands-on exercises that allowed me to apply what I had learned. I appreciated the emphasis on real-world examples and practical applications of programming, which made the material more engaging and relevant. Overall, the course provided a solid foundation for further learning and development in the field of programming.
