Some Video Courses Suggestions #7

Open blossomica opened 9 years ago

blossomica commented 9 years ago

Here is some a copy paste of the suggestions I left for video courses ideas:

  1. @iteles and @nelsonic I think there are many videos stuck on the basics without offering something practical. So after finishing those videos when it comes to a point where you want to create something on your own it becomes very confusing. Instead of a tutorial were the tutor is just reading the code they write I'll like to see one where the tutor speaks of their thought process. Why did they choose this API, how did they came up with the color scheme. One that shows the thought process of a full stack developers so that after following it we can know the thought process that involves in building a project. Risks / Positive etc. A tutorial series on a product involving full stack programming... front end - back end - data bases - APIs anything possible will be great because usually a lot of free courses are either super beginner or very advanced and have no flow. So in short apart of the basics eventually I will like to see a nice cool full stack project utilizing the things I mentioned above :)
  2. Before I forget, I will also like to see a video series on technical interview preparation especially with emphasis on data structures/algorithm. Because a lot of companies ask for that and it is something I really need to learn but It seems like a very complex subject. It isn't asked in all interviews I guess but at least for software engineering I see it all over the place. It will be nice videos are succinct and either a few or brief sections because when they are really long, they are hard to concentrate on after a while and if there are many of it, it can make someone feel they haven't accomplish much because they are just in video 1 from 100 each being 30 min or 1 hour.

@blossomica thanks for this. if you want to split things out into separate video requests it will help to prioritise them. :+1:

@nelsonic - Sure. You are welcome. I'll think about it and will do so if I get some concrete ideas in mind.
