Step by step analysis. Each line of code explanation. Every problem I had during the course was successfully solved and Łukasz told me the reason. I also liked good practices that have been presented. Never have I been convinced about TDD style - I just dont find it useful and worth its time. Łukasz pointed out so many advantages of TDD, it completely changed my opinion.
