Hey folks!
In episode 02 I gave myself and all of y'all some challenges to test your scripting chops, and in this episode I'll reveal the solutions I found to these challenges. Post in the comments if you got a different/better solution so everyone can learn from you!
I'll also be making corrections in these episodes if/when I explained something not-so well in the previous episode.
Episode 03 will come out when Episode 02 hits 555 views. It seems like no one is really interested in this series, so it's starting to feel like the time in takes to do them is not worth it!
Whether or not this series continues is based on demand, but in any event, you can join Leandro and I, plus other special guests, Every Tuesday, 1.30pm EST (10.30am PT, 5.30pm GMT) for live scripting tutorials.
