NOTE: To download the course files and resources go to the Projects Tab (next to the community tab) in this course and take a look to the lower right, for a downloadable zip file that contain the course outline and student projects (in the course resources folder of the .zip file)

If anyone has troubles accessing the files or unzipping them you can always get them here on my google drive unzipped. I just ask that you do not share this link with anyone outside of the class.

Make sure to download the 00 - IMPORTANT zip folder in the class resources area. That contains important resources and guides for taking the course including a FAQ sheet.

There are many different student project opportunities throughout the course. Feel free to start a project in the project section of this class and post your first project here. You can add new projects to your current project at any time as you work through the course. Take this as a great opportunity to build up a portfolio of work! You can use all projects you create in the course as portfolio pieces.
