Gostei! Muito útil!

Achei que favoreceu pra absorver o conteúdo a forma que o assunto foi dividido, os frames de separação dos tópicos apresentados no vídeo, o fato da descrição do vídeo e conteúdos apresentados também estarem disponíveis no texto de apoio, a qualidade das dicas e ferramentas sugeridas (conhecia apenas algumas), e os exemplos práticos apresentados. Recomendo!
