- Added better explanation on difficulties of using virtual environments and what issues learners may have but highlighting that this is still good practice
- Added fixing of the encoding issue with the code directly in the material and example software project
- Added start erand finisher code for all episodes by linking to branches in the example software project repo
- Unified the "bad" and "better" example software project into one repo
