Just popping by to share my thoughts on the Workshop put together by Petr. As mentioned by Jack, this is not aimed for beginners, but is somehow still accessible to newcomers, providing they go through some simple pre-requisites like the GSAP intro video on the GreenSock website. I personally thought i had decent skills in GSAP - after all the API is pretty easy to pick up and i was able to do cool stuff (like my flight animations on CodePen), but to be honest i wasn't really sure how to integrate GSAP inside a real project and structure my code around the existing HTML. Watching the workshop videos consolidated my understanding of GSAP as a whole, and how it works within a project development workflow. I now feel really confident about my code, know how to properly nest tweens inside a timeline.. I am at the point where i feel that i can create pretty much anything that i would think of, because i know how to reason about it and set the proper timelines to make it happen. One more thing: Petr has been very helpful along the way - i reached out to him a couple of times and he was very quick to respond with a really useful answer. I even caught him on Twitter doing custom short videos to explain a problem / solution to another Workshop customer.. Petr actually was the reason i was initially drawn to GSAP, after watching some of his tutorials on the ihatetomatoes.net blog. I gradually grew interest for GSAP, and for the learning material provided by Petr Tichy. It was only natural for me to try the GSAP Workshop he put together, and boy, i was not dissapointed. When you sign up for the GreenSock workshop on ihatetomatoes.net - it really feels like you are being taken care of and you're in good hands. Not only do you get a really solid, comprehensive product, but also get that feeling that Peter is willing to help you grow your skills, give you support. So, if you are having any doubts on signing up for the workshop - stop it. Just go and sign up, you won't regret it. I think Petr even offers a full money refund if you're not satisfied with the first module.. Cheers, and long live the GSAP community
