We don't prescribe any particular way that you should learn. Nigel will work with you in a way that works for you. The practice projects and other learning initiatives that you find here are intended for use if helpful. They encourage variation and experimentation.
If you prefer to learn some other way, or to do a project that you come up with, that’s awesome and encouraged. The learning initiatives are there because many prefer to have some structure provided, or to get the opportunity to gain experience in a collaborative environment similar to a real project. Welcome to prescription free learning!
