Thank you for you work in educating the SharePoint community. You have been a go-to resource for me for many years. Finally looking at a real client project to build some SPFx web parts and then show the client how to build more on their own. My first step was to point them to your free resources to get them started, and then your full Mastering video course if they want to really learn this stuff. I've found nothing better than your content to explain what matters to a developer in a clear and concise manner.

Just finished reading your 10-part introduction to the SPFx toolchain and it was perfect for what I needed at this stage, not too much so as to be overwhelming but enough to feel I got a solid appreciation of all the moving parts. Many thanks and best of luck with the new venture, really looking forward to getting stuck into your course.

Thanks for the great course, it helped me to bring my thoughts and explorations to a clear point. Each lesson of the course is not too vast and covers the exact portion of knowledge to understand what and how. I've been engaged in SharePoint for about 10 years, but the developer path was too complicated. Now as of SPFx released, I am starting my first steps. Walking through the email course and reading your blog posts helped me to clarify a few things and point out further actions. Now am going to master React and TypeScript to put them to use in my projects.

Hi Andrew. I have a C# and Visual Studio background, so the SPFx for me is about learning the new tooling to make it all work. I have been through the Hello World recently and found that it isn't as hard as it appears. We don't need to be experts in these tools, just have a basic understanding of elegant it's doing. Your email series has been a big help.
