[mzqef]

Hi,

I'm late to introduce myself. For many years, I programed for fun.
I have lots of experience in different programming languages, but I understand that it is important to be an expert in one and keep on programming.
I would like to take the advanced course after completing this one.
For everyone here, I would really encourage you to start earlier and make a reasonable study plan. It does not make sense to complete the course in 2 weeks or to wait till the last few days. This program could give you a very good chance to standardize your coding if you do it in a right way.

Best,
