A quick note from the Academy

We're still accepting signups — you're welcome to join. A serious vulnerability in PHP, the technology our site runs on, was recently made public, so as a precaution the Academy is undergoing a full rebuild on hardened foundations. No incident has occurred and no member information has been affected — this is preventive work. In the meantime, please feel free to send your Claude questions by email to admin@docfierro.com — we're glad to help while the rebuild takes shape. Thank you for your patience.
