I’m from europe, so some mentioned tools are not that useful from my perspective.
By Aygul Shakirova on 4/29/2025
I found the course well-structured. As a suggestion for future updates, it would be great to see a more balanced representation of Europe-based resources alongside the many excellent North America-based links. This would make the course even more universally applicable. Thank you for putting together such a valuable course!
