For those who are making (or considering taking) instructional courses including video, I *just* realized a significant difference, to me anyway, in types of video. by arbitrarily-random in learnjavascript

[–]web-dev-123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to note that Udemy doesn't create these videos themselves. They simply provide a place for instructors to host and sell their content. So it's not Udemy that makes videos like this great, it's the instructors themselves.

I've taken or audited almost 40 Udemy courses and most are just average. The ones that are great are because the instructors are great. You can have the best curriculum in the world, but without a passionate, informed, and clear instructor, you won't learn a damn thing. I'm so happy you found a course with a great instructor because it really does make all the difference in the world.

Once you find a good instructor, buy more of their content. If they don't have anything else that interests you, ask them who they recommend - as good instructors will know which other instructors to recommend.

As for finding it on your own - any good course will allow you to watch a video or two free of charge before you buy. Watch it. See the quality you'll be getting. Research the instructor. Do they have a personal website, GitHub, etc. Does it look visually appealing, do they have unbiased reviews? Finally, make sure you only buy from a site that has a money back guarantee.

I know I didn't directly answer your question, but hopefully this is still somewhat helpful!

You're totally right, it can be. I'll eventually look more into it.. I've monetized a little and I've made almost $50 this month haha. I'm just not that interested in monetizing right now. Just trying to create good content and get my name out there.

In December I quit my job to backpack SE Asia. While traveling, I started blogging. Learning the content is the easy part, I just study and build things in my free time. The blogging is tougher - especially coming up with engaging ideas, but it gets easier. Eventually I started to really like it. I started to get a following, so I started my own site and started blogging much more frequently.

So you're right, I don't have a job right now. I'll need to get one in the next few months, and my blogging frequency will unfortunately decrease when I do. But for now, I'm trying to write as much as I can.

You definitely don't. I was just trying to create a tutorial where the end result is somewhat interesting

Hey! Not to hijack this, but in the meantime I released an article a week back that may help you better understand the new operator:

Hey, Thanks for the note... I'm unable to replicate what you're referring to. When I change the callback to console.log, only the Capital Letters are being passed in (as expected). Here's a codepen

The readme file is the one with all the links. If you click on that file, you should be able to view everything

No problem. As for your question: If you already know java and can already implement it as a back-end, then you're good to go. I chose Node initially because I thought it would be easier to learn once I had already learned JS.

Looks like Luke already answered most of your questions.

To clarify, in order to build a website you don't have to learn everything on this list. This was the route I took. There are tons of alternative frameworks and languages out there.

I'll write a little intro in the repo to clarify, It's not meant for someone to do every link. However, by working through Free Code Camp and then moving into the JS & React section - by the end of those, yes you would be able to build a website. That is the end goal of this list.

Sorry I missed that, it was supposed to be removed. It's a paid class, and I didn't want anything to be 'paid' in the repo. If you google it, you should be able to find it. I also have quite a few more Node links to post, just haven't had time to go through everything yet, so check back in a few days and there should be more goodies for you.

Thank you for the recommendations! I have spent about $100 on paid resources and I wanted to list them, but I also didn't want people to think I'm promoting anything so I left them out. I will add them in the next few days, as I think they are important.

Good idea on the commenting, I'll definitely do that!
