The course is still in development, and new content will be released progressively as it's completed.
You can check the "Course Progress" section above for the full release timeline.
Access to the course is for one year. This isn't a limitation — it's intentional. I believe that having a set timeframe helps you stay focused, take action, and truly commit to learning. It also keeps the course valuable and alive, instead of something you put off “for later” and never actually finish. You’ll have a full year to go through the content, practice, join the community, and get support — more than enough time to build real skills if you’re consistent.
Absolutely. The course will be updated regularly with new projects, techniques, and breakdowns —especially based on questions and challenges students face.
