El curso contiene algunas técnicas interesantes, pero en general como clase no es, por que va comentando lo que hace básicamente y con ejemplos de proyectos en los que ha trabajado. Lo podría comparar en algunas partes como un video tutorial de youtube.

This was a great course. I love the video quality and the cinematography (if I may call it that). It was such a well structured delivery of information, pacing and guidance throughout the course. I would definitely recommend this. You and your team did a fine job! 👌

PlusThis was an inspiring, enjoyable, eye-opening and easy-to-take-in crash course into website prototype on Figma. I'm an experienced graphic designer, but web design nor Figma are my forte. Watched this course between 1.75-2x speed in a couple of days and already feel empowered to put everything into practice, and learn more. Absolutely recommend!
