Jae is extremely knowledgeable and very generous with sharing real-life industry tips and his best of practice techniques. I really benefited from being able to ask Jae a direct question and have him patiently help me through my learning process. Overall, with the time and money I saved by getting up to speed with ExpressionEngine quickly, these courses proved to give me a great return on my investment.

Advanced ExpressionEngine 2: Instructor

Creat-ee classes are like taking a drink from a fire hydrant on a hot day! Cool, refreshing, and can be a little over whelming at times, but in a great way. The depth of knowledge and the complete transparency of sharing of real world projects is well worth the time and cost. When I first started I did not even realize what I did not know. But now I understand ee concepts, best practices and technics to perfect my EE craft.
