User Personas

Software Engineer Student: Someone that is starting in tech and wants to learn a lot of new technologies. He doesn't know where to start, as there is a lot of content everywhere, some of them good, and some of them bad. Also this user feels that after watching a few videos, he forgets everything he learned. The main motivation of using this app is that he would be able to have an organized way of learning, and he will not be stucked on tutorial hell
