Hey there,
I believe programming is a discipline worthy of craftsmanship.
But I also know that life doesn't always give us the time we need to perfect our creations. That's why I focus on practical learning.
There's a huge difference between being practical and thoughtlessly copying code. We use minimal libraries in this course - not to make things hard, but because I want you to actually understand what you're building.
When you understand the fundamentals, you can solve problems when tools don't work as expected. You can build anything you imagine.
If that resonates with you, grab the free mini-course. I'll also send you occasional game dev tips and updates.
