#209 [❓Answering Your Questions] "Is it really okay for beginners?" I'll clear up all your anxieties about my Udemy course😊

A: It is free until August 8th, but after that, I will never offer it for free again.It will normally be sold for 2,600 yen.

A: If you are someone who enters about 3 irregular appointments into Google Calendar a day, you can reduce your work time by about one-third by using a spreadsheet.This saves you 30,000 to 40,000 yen worth of time per year, so you will easily get your 2,600 yen back.

A: It is not a sale of a tool, but because you will acquire "skills" that can be applied and repurposed in the future,it is worth more than the price.

A: Since I will never offer it for free after August 8th,taking the course during the free period is a great deal.

A: It is a company that handles many educational support programs(Benesse acts as their agent in Japan).It is operated by a reliable company, so you can use it with peace of mind.

A: You have to pass a strict screening process to release a course on Udemy,so its value and reliability are different from things distributed for free elsewhere or YouTube videos.

A: Registration is free, and anyone can easily register with just an email address.

A: You can either access Udemy directly to register as a new user, or register via my course page.

A: Neither the Udemy platform nor I willforce you to do anything at all.

A: While I would be happy if you left a high rating in your review,it is not mandatory at all.If you don't like it,it is perfectly fine to just leave it as is.

A: There are absolutely noobligations or penaltiesfor anything you have to do, so please rest assured.

A: It is extremely difficult if you try to study it seriously from scratch.As an instructor, I myself have experienced failing at self-study in the past.

A: No, I am completely from a liberal arts background.I never did any programming during my student days, and it's only been in the last year or two that I've been able to handle it properly.

A: Yes, even complete beginners or those with zero knowledge will be able to build their own app in two hours.

A: It's fine even if you don't want to study.If you just want to use the tool, you can complete the setup and use it in about 10 minutes (I have also prepared a section just for setup).

A: While I do explain some things on YouTube, this course is designed so that you can do it not just "from 1," but"from 0 (from a state of having absolutely no knowledge)."

A: After explaining with PowerPoint at the beginning, I show the actual computer operation screen and proceed with the same steps, soanyone can do it if they just follow along.

A: You can ask me questions directly using Udemy's Q&A feature.You can rest assured because there is a solid support system in place.

A: It is not about programming as an academic subject, but rather the point is that you will be able to use it as a "tool to streamline your work" in the shortest time possible.

A: Programming always involves a process of trial and error where errors occur. Since it is difficult for amateurs to fix errors, my course is perfect for those who want to quickly apply it to their work.

A: No, I never grin while looking at programming code. I strictly view it as "just a tool" to streamline work.

A: GAS (Google Apps Script), which is used in this course, has a mechanism that automatically stops after a certain amount of time or number of executions, so there is no need to worry about it going haywire even if you make a mistake. It is designed to be safe and easy for beginners to handle.

A: That is correct, and it has the nature that once it runs and overwrites data, it cannot be undone. Therefore, instead of using live data right away, please follow the procedure of always succeeding in a test environment (experimental environment) before moving to the live environment.

A: No, it is not suitable. I do not recommend this course for those who want to learn seriously from scratch or those who want to attend a school to learn systematically from the basics.

A: Since it is not suitable for those who want to build their own environment or those who like programming as an academic subject, I do not recommend taking this course.

A: The content is not suitable for students who want to memorize syntax from scratch or those who want to teach programming.

A: It is perfect for those who are not interested in studying programming but want to quickly streamline tedious tasks like daily calendar entries.

A: For example, if you enter about 3 appointments into Google Calendar every day, you can reduce your work time by about one-third through automation from a spreadsheet.

A: This is a legitimate course that has passed Udemy's strict review process and is published, and there will be absolutely no pushy solicitations or coercion from Udemy or myself, so please feel free to take the course with peace of mind.

A: It is available for free until August 8th, so it would be a loss not to do it. If you are thinking about making your work even a little bit easier, I recommend that you sign up and take a look inside.
