It was supposed to be a beginner course but the course content wasn't really drafted well. I just couldn't figure out what the instructor was trying to do in the whole course. He just randomly started with features of wordpress without first teaching the basics of wordpress. The Robin & Jesper course on wordpress is much better and takes you from beginner to advanced in step-by-step way.
