Save your spot

The videos were an integral part of my learning process. As with any new practice or measure, reading the manual and attending a workshop give foundational knowledge, but the coding videos allow for practical application, and the opportunity to iron out habits (good or bad) prior to use. Plus, [certified trainer] Mandy [Steiman]'s transparency in her coding practices gave room for learning, and a platform to feel comfortable asking questions.
