    Hey Dan,
    I truly appreciate your courses and all the effort you put in. I finished a couple of them so far.
    For the sake of UX, I would like to give you feedback as a user of the cheat sheets you created for people like myself.
    I use a Mac and I have no intention of using a PC, therefore a cheat sheet with both options for Mac and PC is overwhelming for me, and these shortcuts are not even different coloured or any visual signs to differentiate them.
    So I would suggest separating them, one sheet for Mac users and another for PC users.
    Please let me know what you think, even if you don't agree I would like to know why :)))
    Regards,
    Rali

    Hey Daniel! How up to date is your Figma course on Udemy? I want to do that one since it’s more detailed and offers a certificate at completion, but I’m concerned about features since I’m sure Figma, as well as all developers, constantly update their apps.

  • @maef6796
    @maef6796 Před 6 měsíci

    Hey Dan, new to Figma but glad a lot of it (so far) is similar to Illustrator so I don't feel (yet) lost. Really enjoying this, great tuition and cracks me up at times (esp. your sound effects ). How quickly can you get very good knowledge? I'm applying for a job that requires it..... I said I could use it not to blow my chances but 😏

    • @BringYourOwnLaptop
      @BringYourOwnLaptop  Před 6 měsíci

      Hey. Using it is easy enough. Especially if you've got illustrator experience. The hard part is the UX theory. But, like anything, you've got to start somewhere and a lot of general design principles cross over into UI design. Jump in, learn the software and get making stuff.
