Intensity of a course, coverage of topics. Complicated topics are explained on a good level, so even though there are some white spots left in of them (like DSL) -- it won't be hard to go on by myself as I already have a common understanding of basis and at least know how to form my questions to Google.

Arseniy - C.T.Co SIA
Course - Advanced Kotlin Programming
I liked exercises and questions where we should think like a compiler. Sometimes it feels like you understand topic we are discussing and with exercise we could make sure not only that we feel that way but really understood. In case exercise was difficult for someone, solution was provided by clear steps what and why we do to make this working. Also by going further with these exercises it was really nice that we looked at previous ones understanding how we can improve something that was already done by one solution.
