After Attending a Wolfram U Webinar (Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica)

Webinars are scheduled online events aimed at having a seminar-like experience over the web. I recently took the Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica training tutorial. The event lasted for about one hour and forty-five minutes; but it could last up to two hours.

The webinar had about 3 breaks, giving time to ask written questions, that the team behind the seminar would answer. In these forum-like chat you are allowed to post questions regarding the presentation, and in this one in particular, you could ask for any short explanations on Mathematica's functions and capabilities.

As stated on the tutorial's title, the lesson is "hands on [the software]", therefore, if you don't have a Wolfram Mathematica license, you will be handed and email with a link to redeem a 15 day license.

During the lesson, the instructor writes a Mathematica notebook, which can be copied step by step by the attendants however not everyone is able to type in as fast. That being so, they offer you a copy of the final notebook of the lesson if you have bought the book with the same title. If you haven't by then, you can still ask for them to hand it over. As a result, you will receive an email stating that you must register your book in order to verify your purchase. Are you still worried you may have forgotten something else? Don't worry, as soon as they publish a video of the lesson, you'll be given through your mailbox a link to see it.

Hands-on Start to Wolfram Mathematica tutorial is a nice way to start with Mathematica and the Wolfram Language, you can also purchase the book to get a deeper and further stated introduction. The seminar basically comprises the first few chapters of the book.

My recommendations
Set up your computer with a second screen, specially if you are on a laptop (receiving the lecture on a 11 inch screen was uncomfortable). The ideal setup is to have the webinar in one screen and Mathematica on the other one. You will deal with multiple Mathematica windows, so a proper space for them would boost your performance.
