The course itself was good and useful. Thank you for that. I gave this rating because I think the content is not managed correcty: There is this old content part. And even when I finished with the current part, I cannot obtain the certificate, because there is 2+ hours old content that keeps me away. Maybe, can these videos be marked as optional for the certificate? --- Update: It is possible to mark the rest of the videos as complete. Though this way the certificate says that the lecture time was 3.5 hours, and that feels a little bit like the mix of cheating and earned.

It's very good for beginners' level. If looking for a deeper dive into gradle, this will just not cut it

The last part of the course is legacy version, you don't need to do it. Follow the new version without view the files. Once you finish the course, review the course files to do a knowledge refreshment.

The course is divided into 2 parts, the first one is a current course, it is not possible to see the code he writes, he shares the code, but it is very easy to get lost, the second part is a course with java 1.8 that no one uses anymore. In general, they are practices without a professional sense, some examples are salvageable, but it is an unprofessional course.

The content is cumbersome. Two sections with the same name 3&6, one marked with "Old version". As a student I will like to have a single course version and clear chapter structure.

Some of the videos in the "new" course are not shown to the user. The provider of the course should have done a "clear" and then start running the commands. This made it a bit more difficult to follow. This is a good intro course into Gradle.

Disappointing course, lacks depth and explanation. Expected more content and interactive exercises. Not recommended for in-depth learning.

I recommend removing the old content from this course. If there is anything in it that needs to be included, it should be added to the new content. The course was good, but I needed to go through the information twice to get the completion certificate.

Very good overview. A little deeper dive and hands on with a single complete project end to end would be an improvement. The original course material (now included as Chapter 6) has a lot of that. It looks like the "revision" also fundamentally changed the whole approach of the course.

Course is way too rushed. Project files used in the videos don't have corresponding Resources. For example, chapter 2.10 suddenly starts working on a new 02_02-start project, but there are no Resources for that project. There is a Resource in chapter 3 that has a 02_02-start project, but it's completely different than the one the instructor is using in chapter 2. I've been using Gradle at work for the past year, and am somewhat proficient. Was hoping to get more detailed learning with this course, but I had to stop and find another one. Waste of money.

The videos will not always play properly and doesnt allow me to use my external displays while watching

The course is filled with "do like this" parts, instead of explanation of "how" and "why". If I want to do something slightly different from course examlpe, course doesnt provide tools for further independent work. Mentioning gradle.org doesn't mean "tools". Very disapointing.

No links to referenced items. No links in the education for specific machine types e.g MAC, linux etc

Meant to be a fundamentals course, but videos are like 3 minutes long and incredible lack of 'why' to do things certain ways. More context is needed. Having to explore else where to get more context for topics. Course should be called 'An overview of Gradle fundamentals' to better describe the content of the course. If the course was still up to standard with the old version (section 6), it would be 5 star.

Good learning! Learnt quite a bit of stuff. Good to get a head start, but need to read Gradle documentation itself to learn more.
