New xlwings on-demand webinar

By far the most popular request from our past live webinars was the ability to get access to the recordings. We are happy to offer you now a comprehensive on-demand course: At the moment, it consists of a set of beginner and advanced tutorials, with an introduction for the absolute beginner to ship around the typical starter issues that we see every other day on either GitHub issues or StackOverflow. The tutorials are split into short videos (usually between 5 and 10 minutes) so that it is easy to quickly find the topics of interest. The course material comes in the form of Jupyter notebooks and is available for download.

There are free preview videos available from almost all sections, so make sure to check out the class curriculum!
