Can anyone recommend any solid resources for learning to use Sketch?

I'm currently trying to learn sketch and I'm starting with this youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLnpHn493BHE6UIsdKYlS...

Thanks, will check this out.

This playlist is what I used to learn Sketch too, quite good.

I started by reading the documentation: https://www.sketchapp.com/learn/documentation/

After that I dove into a design project and learned further by doing and researching when I needed something I couldn't figure out.

There are additional resources here as well: https://www.sketchapp.com/learn/

A few people have recommended these to me, but I haven't gotten around to checking them out myself: https://designcode.io

There are some good articles and tutorials at http://www.sketchappsources.com.

And a collection on Medium: https://medium.com/sketch-app-sources

Are you coming from another product, or learning design from scratch?

I'm interested in the "design from scratch" answer if you don't mind ;)

I'm most comfortable in Photoshop and each time I fire up Sketch I find myself moving back to Photoshop. I know this is bad and want to get better at Sketch as I understand it's a more suitable tool for the job (vector-based, etc.).

I do the same thing. It usually takes me about an hour or before I hit a bug or, more rarely, a crash. Then it's back to Photoshop. I've repeated this cycle about once a quarter for a couple years now.

What do you miss the most in Photoshop?
