Attend lectures (or watch them later), ask questions, and once you've completed a small assignment at the end, you'll earn a certificate.

I don't get mad about macOS redesigns, and I don't mind the iOS-ification for the most part. But WTF happened to System Settings? Why is everything hidden behind "i" and "Options…" buttons? This makes no sense.

A little time lapse experiment with star trails. There's also a couple of bonus boats, and the blob you see at the beginning is the setting moon.

We ran out of spots in this course, it's more popular than we expected 😅 If you got a message saying that the course was closed, please try again!
