How to learn faster and get up to speed
We don’t focus on it.
Sometimes because we’re afraid, other times because we don’t know where to start.
If you come from the Information Systems (IS) side, it’s common.

We want to highlight an amazing tool for learning languages and programs and show you a specific example of how to use it.

Here’s a video that saved me hours of reading and researching:
