This course was a good introduction to what a design system is, but I think I was expecting that I would be guided step by step to create a design system but I felt it was more of a walkthrough. There is a file that is supplied that works as a template to go over and try to adopt it to your workflow.

Muy buen curso, se me hizo lento en algunas clases, porque el trabajo en sí es lento, pero nada que no se pueda manejar. Estoy desarrollando un sistema ahora, así que ha sido de gran ayuda.
