La formation rentre bien dans les détails grâce aux nombreux exemples de code, aux nombreux exercices de mise en pratique par ordre de difficulté, et aux corrections d’exercices disponibles. La mise à disposition de ressources supplémentaires sur le Moodle ou par le formateur en direct est très appréciable.
