Courses are laid out in a more navigable format and broken down into specific categories with sub courses inside of the categories based on what you are looking for and what you need to work on.

Each course is a series of short descriptions and then step by step video tutorials going over the components, the systems, and the aspects of whatever topic is being covered.

There is also an additional tab in the course dashboard that shows the new additions which are all of the newly added courses for the month!
