"I would highly recommend this course to any person in a Product Management role that feels lost in any technical discussion with engineers. Colin does a fantastic job of teaching the basics and providing supplemental content if you want to deep dive into any particular area."

"Great selection of topics and depth of the knowledge shared. The course is full of opportunities to apply new knowledge by creating your own models / using APIs. It enabled me to ask more thorough questions when collaborating with my engineering team and to better discuss the value of adapting our application architecture."

"It was fantastic course, as a PM who needed to brush up on his technical skills, I learnt so much and new ways to explore and think about APIs, data and system design. Even though the content was simple and fun, the credit truly goes to Colin because his fresh approach, his friendliness makes it a safe space for everyone to learn together, ask questions and really learn about topics that it truly sticks in your mind."

"Colin shares all the secret sauce PM's need to get started on becoming more technically literate in this course. It really helped to grow my technical skills and build confidence through some hands on exercises. PS - If you're a fan of ByteByteGo's newsletter for their clear and concise explanations of technical concepts, you WILL be a fan of Colin's teaching style."

"The thought and attention that went into developing this course was evident! Everything was structured in accessible, bite-sized pieces that make it easy to consume while working full-time. The deep dive resources allow those with more time / interest to further learning. Also, I feel that this course definitely achieves the intended goal of increasing confidence as it relates to the ability to grasp technical concepts."
