I just wanted to come back and say THANK This is seriously incredible content, and I just passed my exam thanks to your helpful videos. Of course, I did all the pre-work in Trailhead, but these videos tied everything together clearly and succinctly. A couple questions came up on the exam that I KNOW I only got right because I had just watched your videos!!
