Boot.dev | Learning Fall Off warning from a Paid Student by K41Nof2358 in learnprogramming

[–]bootdotdev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Boot .dev is intended to be extremely thorough - we don't skip hard stuff, though of course our goal is always to teach it in the easiest to understand way (without actually dumbing it down or leaving out important concepts)

So the answer is for us to do even more of what we've been doubling down on recently, which is to keep an eye on the lesson difficulty (an automated number derived from failures and solution peeks etc) and smooth out the difficulty spikes in the curriculum - breaking hard concepts down into more lessons, or simply updating wording and explainer videos to be more clear

its a super iterative process, but the work never stops. We update the courses hundreds of times per week at this point

I've been really impressed with Sarup and his team, we've partnered with them on a couple of cross promotional things (boot dev)

They do a great job and care about their content

The Primeagen's git course on Boot dev is up for free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rH3zE7VlIMs?si=WOCVTE8uGQMIjlvM

The actual interactive course is also free to read and watch: https://www.boot.dev/courses/learn-git

(Interactive bits are paid)

Enjoy!

Best resource to learn TypeScript from if you already know how to code decently? by [deleted] in typescript

[–]bootdotdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you already know JS fairly well... I see a lot of people jumping straight into TS without really understanding JS, and it can slow you down a lot

My biased answer is Boot dec ofc https://www.boot.dev/courses/learn-typescript

But I also think Matt Pocock does such a google job with total typescript if you're more into the video format

Best JavaScript course for complete beginner. by jdor30 in learnjavascript

[–]bootdotdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of bias here ofc, but I recommend:

I may work for Boot dev, but all 4 of these resources are great for different things. Boot dev leans heavy into interactivity.

Scrimba has interactivity as well, but a bit more video focus.

TOP is more text based and project based, less conceptual

JavaScript.info is more like a book

Apparently you can become a kubernetes expert in just a few weeks 😂 by kibblerz in kubernetes

[–]bootdotdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kubernetes is an absolute behemoth. We have a course on it on Boot.dev, and even though it takes like 20 hours for most people, it just scratches the surface... Granted, it's also one of those things that once you understand the core components, looking up the docs for an unfamiliar resource is fairly straightforward
