JFrog Academy: Conan 2 Training

Conan 2 training is available on the JFrog Academy in two paths: Conan 2 Essentials and Conan 2 Advanced. There are 29 video lessons across 7 modules (16 in Essentials, 13 in Advanced). The courses are practical (with code you can follow along), free, and self-paced.

The examples in the courses use the Conan Training 2 GitHub repository. If you run into problems with the code or have feedback, open an issue there.
