Who is this training for?
- You would like to learn Grasshopper from scratch without any programming experience.
- You have little time for learning, and you would like to have condensed knowledge and go through the process that will guide you step by step.
- You still have problems with understanding data trees, and don't know how to work with complicated data structures.
- You like to learn based on structured, practical and engineering examples.
Who is this training NOT for?
- You are a Grasshopper expert and already teaching others.
- You have mastered data trees, and operations on the advanced data structures are not a problem.
- You are working just with design, and your focus is on organic and crazy geometrical shapes you will not find it, in this training.
