This was a good course as the teacher is very knowledgeable and interesting to hang out with for the lessons. However, this course was made years ago and the Dreamweaver software is not the same as the Dreamweaver software of 2023, soon to be 2024. (To find certain places, to go - to do said actions, Like the CSS Rule definition for... box, it's not there in todays version of Dreamweaver, for example -- this is an old version he is using as today its Nov. 2023.) When he says to go into certain areas of CSS, that box or area no longer exists and you have to find the almost 2024 version of Dreamweaver you have now to find out how to do that action. It's not the same at all, but I did learn so thank you. Anything new to learn is worth my time. That's really the only thing that stinks as a future user should know that before purchasing.
