    Awful! Do not recommend. There is far too much assumption of knowledge and understanding. The jargon used and naming conventions are intolerable. I want to know the function of these tools not their 'Snow' branding. As a so called introduction it is useless.

    The course delivers what promises: an introduction to Snowflake mentioning a lot of functionality and in an informative way for beginners. I think it would benefit from having more diagrams instead of showing the instructor most of the time. I agree with other people that tone sounds like he's selling us Snowflake a bit too much.

    The demo portions were very fast. I had to stop the video so I could study the screen. I wish a little more demo, with narration if need be could have been done.
