Think back when you were a kid. Maybe you were fans of Legos and you enjoyed building things and you'd see a big box of Legos like this
0:08
and you're like, this is amazing. Anvil's kind of like that. We're going to learn about all these different pieces
0:12
that we can click together and build amazing stuff. And, learning about each little piece in isolation it's kind of cool.
0:19
Like, that little dragon green thing in the middle that's cool, we could check that out. But, you know what's cooler?

Building things. Actually building 'em. So, here's what I encourage you to do. I encourage you to follow along in this course.
0:31
We're going to build a fitness tracker app and we'll talk more about that in just a minute. I want you to think of an app that is similar
0:38
maybe it's exactly the same, maybe it's just very, very similar in the type of interaction and the data it collects, and so on, and try to build that.
0:47
After each chapter, stop the chapter, go try to build it. Either recreate what we actually created in the videos or, like I said, something similar.
0:55
You know, we're doing fitness tracking maybe you're doing calorie tracking, I don't know. Something super similar, but not identical, right.
1:02
Follow along and build it as we go. You'll get way more out of this course and you'll definitely learn it a lot better.
1:09
Course, if you want to just sit back let it wash over you, and just watch the course there's no requirement to follow along if you don't want.
1:16
But, like I said, I think you'll get more fun and more value out of it that way.
