Author's notes
I did not attend some of the online classes, so there might be more topics. Let me know in the comment section if I missed out anything. And help me out with the materials which I have not acquired yet. That would be highly appreciated.
Most of the links here are Direct Download links. But some might be just referencing links, e.g., Amazon or Rokomari book links, Website links, etc.
I personally researched some topics and added backlinks, but, I can not guarantee that those are the most accurate materials. Please, check out on your own.
