📱 Learn to Make Web

Web Stories are a web-based version of the
popular "Stories" format that blend video,
audio, images, animation and text to create
a dynamic consumption experience. I am
really excited to teach this free online class to explore web stories and learn how to
build google Web stories in WordPress.

Podcast

This is
a most delightful podcast

languages. It is a chronological history of
the English language examined through the
lens of historical events that shaped the

Ever tried to take beautiful pictures with
your DSLR and feeling frustrated. The
problem with a DSLR camera is that the only
feedback you are getting is a bad picture.
But what if your camera could actually tell
what you did wrong?
CameraSim is a camera simulation that does just that.
