Re: An easy to follow design course for programmers
#14Site took a long time to load, but when it did, I gladly signed up. Got my first email already. Really looking forward to this, thanks. * Edit, It appears that the video "Objectified" (Or at least the preview) is not available to rent from YouTube in Canada. "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." :( I don't have time to try renting it right now, but I'll test it this weekend. Perhaps only t…
