I haven't used the Fireship site or any of their courses but I do really enjoy their YouTube channel. Especially the XYZ in 100s is a nice bite-sized introduction to some things you might have never heard of. https://www.youtube.com/@Fireship

100% agree about the YouTube Channel. It's especially useful for being a self-taught programmer trying to decide between frameworks, other development options, etc. Also I just watched their video from a couple days ago, "Things are gonna get weird in 2023" about how tech trends will play out next year, and it's both on point and hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v_TEnpqHXE

Thanks, that video was so "to the point" and respected the viewers time. I found I didn't even have to speed it up with Video Speed Controller because it was already sped up!!!

Subscribed!

For the first time I had to slow a video down! But then I put it back to normal after I got a hold of his flow.

Their videos are often the best introduction to frameworks, technologies or concepts. I'm consistently surprised how well that channel manages to pack quite technical topics.

i find it interesting that the videos always go over 1min 40 seconds but it really doesnt matter and nobody ever has a problem with the length of the videos. the "100s" is a promise that you take directionally but not literally. its an interesting gimmick that more people should apply in other domains.

Dollar Store comes to mind

+1 for the YouTube channel. The Code Report is a fun watch as well.

I concur, their yt channel of 100s video series is succinct.
