You know that feeling before going on stage to talk or perform. It's a knot in your stomach but also an exhilarating sense of excitement about what's to come... I've got that fidgety feeling of "can't wait to get it out" and yet I feel there is so much more to do.

Thanks for all the great feedback on my last post, I got some wonderful app suggestions from some of you and some interesting questions. Overall, there were more than 100 comments and emails so I apologize if I took too long to answer some of you. I already mentioned the focus of these coming courses is to let you create apps in a more practical form: "cook book" style.
But while I talked a bit about the narrative and the course I didn't explain exactly how or why this will work effectively.
3.7 is almost here... Later today we will enter the week long code freeze where only critical issues are fixed. We'll publish the plugin release candidate for 3.7 soon and it will include some interesting new things that I haven't discussed at all!
I talk to a lot of mobile developers or those who are starting out in the field and by far the number one problem is getting a refined sublime app. There are too many difficulties and pitfalls along the way and the end result is often "sub par" in terms of the UI you want to achieve.
We too bare responsibility for that. We focus too much on the technology and too little on making "gorgeous" easy. I want you to join me in changing that narrative...
