A robot listing a bunch of terms on repeat does not make for a good learning experience
(I am reviewing the audio version.) I'm sorely disappointed here: * The robot voice can't even pronounce things like "SQL" or "Redis" properly, or distinguish between parenthetical diagram information and actual text: it is super distracting * The content appears to be a salad of buzz words and industry terms without any kind of narrative explanation or examples to learn from Perhaps if I consider this a list of things to go out and try for myself, AT BEST, maybe. But then again what is the value of just giving me a list of things I already know I should know? Maybe I didn't jump around enough or spend enough time listening to the droning of the robot, but this was definitely not helpful as a audio-experience. ... show more
