About this course
This course is split into 4 lessons. The content of each lesson aims to teach you the basics, enabling you to understand the theory behind each activity.
For each new element you see you will also need to reproduce some code yourself, to make sure you get a good hang on the code.
During each section you will be asked to write and reproduce code. I strongly suggest that you follow the instructions given, in order to get practice in writing your own code.
