Figma
Excelente, me sirvio mucho para mis estudios
Es un curso muy completo para las personas que vamos comenzando ya que todo es bastante claro
Fillippos did a good job by formatting this course really well, I am new to figma, so everything was new to me and I definitely learned a lot with this course. There will be times when you will not be able to find the right button at the right place, its because figma updated the software.
This course lays a really foundation to understanding figma and how to prototype your idea.
So far the course is good for beginners and for some intermediates. You get to learn something new every day.
100% recomendado, Filippos me ha ayudado mucho en la creación de prototipos funcionales que se adaptan a las necesidades de mis clientes.
