You can't expect me to accept in blind faith a statement that says you can make me faster. You need to back it up. It's a bit like some bloke walking in off the street and saying "I can make your network faster, more reliable and cheaper to run". You will want to know how.
Being a teacher implies that you have something to teach the student - in turn that implies that you have more knowledge and experience unless you have somehow pre-assessed the student's needs/skills/experience. As we know, this doesn't happen with CSS. Everybody no matter how good or experience goes through the same route.
Would you say the same if I was Matt Bond or Gregorio?
Anyway...this is my final post on the matter. I'm open to being proved wrong - I genuinely am but, the risk is yours. After all the CSS is trying to sell a product - if it wants me to buy then it should convince me that it's worthwhile. |
Got to say that the responses you've been getting are leading me to doubt whether I'll try CSS now to be honest.
Having read the book and watched a very old video I can see the merit of the techniques but I'm not sure how well it would necessarily be put across in practice.
To learn the skills is one thing but to teach them to others in a meaningful way takes a whole different set of skills and aptitudes/attitudes ?
I believe that David Cook is/was one of the instructors, if you could book him for the day it would be a guarantee of value for money !!! He has a calm analytical manner and is very able to convey the information gained from observing to the listener, 24 carat bloke all round.
