Another fantastic course from Ben Balser. As with the other series I have watched from Ben, his style is straightforward and the explanations succinct and easy to follow. There is no filler - just useful stuff to take notes on throughout. Boom!

content was great and well presented... I only wish we had the option of downloading the clips so we could replicate what the instructor was doing on the screen
