What helped

• having a planning with notification (screenshot at the end of day 1 and after re-organisation)
• being able to update that planning and re-organize lessons for the next day based on a clear path
  • i.e. ECS with declarative part first and only going beyond the framework when existing components are pushed at their limits
• being able to use my own wiki with headers, footers, 360 photo cookbook
• being able to deliver CORS enabled content
• musing on to study and explore (cf playlist), music off to discuss and summarize the last exercise
