THE PROOF
"This course is awesome. Having the challenging assignments, daily discussions, and feedback from the instructors has been the missing piece that I have been looking for. I have read a handful of books, watched hours of video & typed in a bunch of tutorials, and finally, having to work through tough assignments and applying what I have been learning, it is all starting to click - Finally!" -
