Un curso muy completo sobre el programa de Figma, es un recorrido por todo el programa con todas sus herramientas principales que te permitirán desarrollar un proyecto desde el principio hasta su entrega a los desarrolladores, el curso fue grabado en el 2023, así que la interfáz es de versiones más antiguas, aún así, con explorar un poco la nueva interfaz puedes desenvolverte sin ningún problema.

El curso está bastante completo y cumple con todas las expectativas al momento de utilizar el programa de Figma cuenta con bastantes recursos bastante ordenados inegibles para su utilización Considero que la versión en la cual se grabó el curso la cual es una un poco antigua pues llega a ser confusas con la nueva interfaz que ofrece fitma Sería interesante que en un futuro se realice un re grabado de esta clase con la nueva versión de Figma
