ｏｃｔｏｂｅｒ ｓｅｃｒｅｔ ｓｈｏｒｔｃｕｔｓ （２０１８）
These "secret" shortcuts are basically my way of going through the main curricula bit by bit while still feeling like I'm making progress. I'm a little impatient and love being reward with instant results. At the same time, I know that practice and repetition is very important. So, this is my attempt at hacking my way through this just to hit the ground running.
