Hi @Michael Shkapin! The first day of the bootcamp is the most busy day, and there will be no recording of the day. All tho there are a short presentation in the beginning of every day, the rest will happen in person, face-to-face, in the classroom. If there is no way you can make it, you could try to follow the documentation you will be given and complete the tasks at home. But it is not recommend. Is it the first half or the second half you will not be able to attend?

First half of Monday.

Hi Michael,

As Sofie said the first half of the first day is critical with the most information around why you are attending the bootcamp and the skills you will be learning. Let’s talk Monday and see what we can do. You can always catch up on the coursework outside of class.
