What others are saying about Penny's courses:

Penny always sounds like a teacher that wants people to succeed, I am in my 40s and feel like a kid learning from her. I can say this about all her courses. She has the "it" factor of disseminating information and principles.
This course is absolute gold. I am a Software Engineering Teacher as well as a solo game developer, and of all the courses I have taken on Udemy, this is has been the most useful and eye opening by far.
5 stars does no justice to this course. I learned so much it's beyond anything I could've hoped for.
