Prelude Reviews 5

I have never before experienced such an immersive learning experience. It is a great mixture of self responsibility, support and learning in an ambitious group environment. Sheena devised the courses in a way to balance out focus work and group talks/assessments really well. I would always gladly repeat this experience.

Sheena's 2-day workshop on Django, htmx, Alpine.js and Tailwind crammed my head full of useful knowledge at a rate I could have never managed alone. Each section of her tutorial was carefully crafted to build upon the last, keeping me within the zone of proximal development throughout. My brain kind of hurts now, but in a good way! What I particularly like about this particular stack is that every aspect of it feels lightweight and integrates nicely with Django, rather than being shoehorned in. As a Python developer I don't want to write most of my logic in JavaScript, if only to avoid constant context switching. HTMX and Alpine.js are just what I needed - light and unintrusive. Sheena herself is good-humoured and a great teacher, always there whenever I got stuck on a problem and needed some help. I highly recommend her and would happily buy future courses that she offers.

First of all, I highly recommend Sheena's workshop on Understanding Django by Integrating AllAuth. And now, for my experience, It was an exceptional learning experience that delivered significant value and clarity on a topic often considered complex for many Django developers.

Sheena provided a great training, not only with the material, but with the logistics around it. She managed to split the initial weekend time to 4 half days so that our team members could participate more easily, and the training was done in a very practical way, so that instead of just listening to someone talk for hours, you would have immediate opportunity to dive into practical work, with always the possibility to discuss to other members and to Sheena via the chat. She was very responsive and provided great feedback during the whole time. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience!

I participated in one of the workshops with Django and I think the experience was amazing. Having the opportunity to learn more about HTMX with Django and sharing that with other developers was a great experience.

I recommend Prelude courses for anyone who is interested not only in learning but also in meeting new people along the way. Regardless of your level of experience.
