@irinasadovina Welcome to HC! I look forward to speaking with you more in August! 🙂 In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions as you build on HC.

@cgleek Thanks for all your help with this first round! I’m excited to hear that you’re planning to incorporate HC into your upcoming class! Please reach out if you have any…[Read more]

Hi all-sorry for the late post (I had family in town all day yesterday).
