As usual, I had lots of fun filming. My support team was amazing and patient with me as I worked hard to bring my vision for the course to life. I can’t even begin to articulate the wonderful work done by the graphics and editing departments to make each video fun and snappy. I’m honored to have worked with such a professional group of people.
It was lots of hard work, but I hope that this course can inspire a new generation of programmers.
