Muito bom! Um curso incrível. Carlos compartilha muitas dicas, nos mostra um caminho que devemos ir ajustando para aquilo que faz sentido dentro dos nossos próprios processos de nomear o que quer que seja. Apresenta diferentes técnicas e percursos possíveis. Não é um processo simples ou fácil, mas pode ser muito bonito! Recomendo muito!
