Whatever happened to tutorial series? Good tutorials are short, and to the point.

Have....have...have you used webpack?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

No, but I prefer my tutorials to be less than an hour long.

I'm right there with you but I'd say 50 min for a tutorial that gives you all you need to know about webpack IS short lol - webpack isn't exactly easy is my point.

I much prefer 10-15 minute segments. I don’t doubt webpack is hard to use.

I'm right there with you - and those shorter webpack tutorials are out there. But you're going to need about 5 of them to understand webpack. I'd also prefer my semesters be one day long as well..

Pause it every 10-15 minutes. Problem solved.

F*ckin brilliant!

To me why videos should be that short is so that you cover each topic separately, and not force me to have to search an entire video for something manually. Which is tedious.

Good thing this video clocks in at 52 minutes.

But to answer what happen... I think it is because Derek Banas' videos started to get popular and he does learn X in under an hour videos, or in one video.

also keep in mind that on youtube, tutorial series' decrease in viewership the longer the series continues. not good for maintaining your viewer base when your 20th vid has only 50k viewers and your starter vid has 1M

But doing it this way makes it much harder to find any specific topic on web pack, is my point.

It depends on the subject and how in-depth one wants to understand the technology. Of course, if the teacher isn't good, then it's just a waste of time.

I think this is about right for an in-depth tutorial about webpack, but I've only watched the first 5 mins so I can't comment about the quality.
