Josef David –
Basic introduction to platforms. No practical step-by-step guide on how to implement a platform which I was looking for.
Some good examples , however, it’s not on the quality level I’m accustomed to from other instructors on Udemy.

Had put a rating of 4, but moved it down.
The course at some level feels like a book intro. to the one written by the author.
Would help to have an example of how a platform got built from start to finish… the challenges, the tech. choices, what were the considerations.
When the course completed, I felt I’ve had a party conversation on platforms and no real takeaway
