Cypress Training Advent: It Is A Wrap
Thank you for practicing your Cypress skills in 2022 🎉
Aaaaand it is over! I want to thank everyone for following along with my advent calendar. I received a few really good questions and even a few alternative solutions that helped me make the lessons better. I wish everyone Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Finally, if you want to keep learning testing automation, I will still be working on my courses, open-source tools, coding Cypress plugins, recording short videos, and writing more blog posts.
The Course Discount Code
I hope you are enjoying this Cypress Training Advent Course. I am enjoying creating new lessons for it. Often I add new bonus lessons to answer questions from the current course students (both the Network Testing and Cypress Plugins students can ask questions in our Discord channel). The courses have grown over the months:
The networking course has 95 lessons
The plugins course has 72 lessons
For anyone enjoying these lessons and who wants to continue learning, I have created a 10% discount. Use the coupon ADVENT2022 before the end of the year. Next year I plan to finish the plugins course bringing the total number of lessons to 100, and increase the price of each course.
