Testimonials (2)
I liked the interactive examples we worked on, the trainer was extremely knowledgeable in almost every subject we had questions about, and gave excellent advise for our real-world use-cases relating to some of the material in the training.
Tracy - GenesysGo
Course - Rust Advanced
The trainer explained a lot of interesting things about RUST starting from the basis, moving to its applications towards Blockchain, which was very insightful and captivating
