PlusExcelente curso!
Recomendado para comenzar y refrescar conocimientos de programacion. Esta un poco básico el proyecto pero para quien va comenzando y quiere aprender y tomarlo como base de desarrollo servira de mucho ya que explica muy bien las clases.
10 al profesor por las explicaciones, 7 al proyecto final... queda muy chico para algo laboral.

Este curso te da una idea de como usar Wordpress, no profundiza mucho en el proceso del diseño de un sitio web. Se centra en la programación web de un sitio web, que es lo que dice el título.
