Like the other course I took from Jared on Udemy, there is useful information here. It is not always clear if he is presenting things collected from other people’s books and courses, or if he is speaking from experience. Some sections feel like teasers for the extensive course he sells on his website. So decide how much you want to invest here. You definitely get something useful with this course.
