Testimonials
My feedback on DaDesktop is straightforward: I simply fell in love.
My setup was: Notebook, dadesktop, Ipad, Audio/Video (other external
application). Everything worked like a charm. It was easy to use, i loved
easily make every attendee to a presenter, the ease of deploying the machines and I the VNC experience was amazing.
But the best was the feedback of the attendees. One said: I had never
thought to have such a good experience for an online training. And a lot
of said: "What i loved most, that i saw my screen and the screen of the trainer just under one another. That was amazing and that help to always be in sync with the trainer". (An absolutely killer feature)

Remote really worked! Plus, Luke was a great guy. I think me typing in what he had done into my VM was good reinforcement.

Exercises and trainer's own book with information covered in the course, it helped me going over pieces of code and bits of knowledge I had to refer to later. The VM provided proved incredibly beneficial as well.

I like pace of the training. It was good and we were able to cover many aspects of programming language. Trainer was able to show many applications of Python in very informative way. Trainer sent to us many scripts and micro-programs for furher reference which is very useful. I like, that we started training with some technical remarks and setting up virtual environment.

I enjoyed the dynamic interaction and “hands-on” the subject, thanks to the Virtual Machine, very stimulating!.
Philippe Job
Course: Data Analysis with Hive/HiveQL
I thought the pacing was perfect. Good amount of interaction considering it was done over the computer. Lots of interaction available by connecting to a virtual machine and following along. Thought the project we completed had very clean code and gave me a good idea of how something like this should be compiled. Will be able to apply what I learned to the workplace.
