Hello, this is Su 😸 😸

Throughout my journey as a developer, I've constantly learned from the diversity of code and source code. However, at times, I've felt lost in the sea of information. This experience taught me a crucial lesson: the importance of identifying key points in a sea of information and communicating them clearly.

I find great joy in distilling the essence of each topic and communicating it concisely and clearly. I hope this course will help you clearly understand the core of development and find your own unique focus. I look forward to connecting with you as we learn and grow together, sharing my passion for this field.
