Course Description
**** Important Notice *********************************
This course took me months to build and I used to charge as high as $250 for it. I am making it free for now because of issue with receiving my Udemy revenue (Paypal and bank issue).
Ironically, the people who paid for the course gave higher rating than those who didn't pay. Unfortunately, Udemy penalises courses (makes them no longer show up in search results) that are free but rated below 4.1. This will deny people who will benefit from the course from accessing it. Please don't enroll for it if you don't need it and if you feel it's not for you or have suggestions, contact me rather than leaving damaging rating. You can also skip around to aspects that are of interest/value to you. Thanks.
