The Course Hustle
This week, still recuperating, I walk you in detail through what it took to put together my latest Bootstrap 5 Essential Training course. I talk about adding a 15% challenge of something new in every project...which sometimes balloons to like 40%, but once you're committed, you can't stop...won't stop.
The One Two
This week, I talk about the one two punch I got from the Covid vaccine which really set me back with my extra video tutorials. Plus, I talk about my new React with Hooks/ Tailwind CSS Course. My upcoming Bootstrap 5 course and what I'm doing afterwards.
The Junior Developer
This week, I talk about when you can call yourself a Junior Developer, which I really struggled with how to answer. Plus I just finished the largest course I do, you get to see one of my two favorite games and a peek at my ridiculously complicated video setup.

Spending Time to Make Time
Need a little more time on your day to get things done? Sometimes the best way to make time is to spend some time.
