How is the Course Structured?

The course curriculum builds on itself, meaning that as we continue forward in the course we'll re-use the concepts from in previous sections to further reinforce them. All of the material is 100% example based and in many sections we'll use one continuous example through multiple lectures.

The course is composed of 27 short lectures (most between 2-10 minutes) each of which cover one concept at a time, and the full length of the course is 2.5 hours. There are screencasts, business discussions, quizzes and a downloadable file of the full course curriculum to practice along with.

I designed the course to be hands-on and engaging. Complete with working files, you'll be able to follow along practicing each concept and receive a verifiable certificate of completion when you finish the course!
