During this one week , I learnt a lot : Part of the lesson I learnt is

Paying attention to detail: This is like the everyday word from the mentors.. And this is the most important skill you should always have whether as a developer or designer ... No matter the position you're in this life ... Paying attention to details help alot.. it saves you from stress.. We had games with prices on them. I made a lot of friends from different places and they are very cool

Conclusion. Zuri training has been the best training ever because of their agenda on helping newbies into the tech world.. Please check Zuri's website for more information about the training.
