Corsosuper interessante!
Ha sido fascinante ver su proceso mientras te enseña paso a paso.
Es un curso muy interesante, sobretodo por el estilo tan único de la autora
An excellent tutorial —clear, concise, and truly inspiring. It made complex ideas easy to grasp.
No me gustó este curso, esperaba algo distinto. Súper básico, es solo una ilustración de un producto.
