Bonus Tracks are free screencasts on practical tips and tricks related to topics we teach in our Pragmatic Studio training courses. Each screencast is short and focused on one technique so you can quickly move on and apply it to your application. Some of these techniques are taught in depth during a course, and others are simply bonus material you can enjoy before or after a Studio.
