- Good practical android course. Lots of material but if you pay attention in class you will get your money's worth. Instructor knows his stuff.
  - Gene, Verizon
- Guy is a great "guy", and did an excellent job presenting the material and ensuring people "got" it. I looked at bootcamps provided by a number of organizations, and this one was the most thorough, and had the least fluff. I don't think I've ever been as pleased with a course.
