Thanks for the heads-up. I wonder how accessible it is and how compatible it is with various assistive technology it is.

Thanks for sharing this. I know this class is new and doesn't have any reviews yet, but if anyone wouldn't mind to share feedback on it, especially from an aspect of being a good comprehensive technical course for app developers and designers, that would be great. Always looking for effective and free training alternatives.

I've never taken one of the Udacity sources. I see that it says it take 6hrs a week for 6 weeks. Is that merely a suggestion, or does it force that some how?

I also did a brief review. Some of the video captions are inaccurate, but it's here and there where the words don't match up. Using the WAVE toolbar checker in Chrome also shows multiple errors, alerts and structural elements as well as contrast errors. I'll look forward to learning from other's comments.

From the team:
"Kevin are you a member of the list? If so would you mind responding letting
them know we're working to fix the issues with the course site and to also
ask folks to continue sending issues as they find them"
Thanks!
