Overall a FANTASTIC tutorial on dimensional modelling.

Roger F.

Great job on the course; the clarity, the thoroughness, the precise language and explaining terminology in simple, easy to digest ideas, have been second to none. Kudos!!!

Cosmin I.

Great job thanks Mitchell. I particularly like the way you minimize the length of each video to less than 20 minutes. Helps a lot as I often pause the video to make notes or try things out, so this is the ideal maximum time per video to make concentration easier. Also, the whiteboarding demos were excellent.
