Peace! ✌️
I have taken both the VSCode.pro and NodeCLI.com courses. The first one is regularly helping me to improve my developer workflows and the second one taught me how to build developer automation tools. Thank you for these discounts, Awais! Now I am going to grab my copy of Writy.io as well. 😄
This makes me happy, Saad. Glad you enjoyed my courses.
These are some of the best resources for developers to get started. Definitely, a must-have resource in your learning stack. 💯
Woot woot! 🎉
I took the VSCode Power User course last year and it has helped me improve my workflows like nothing else. These courses will change the way you code. Try them. 🙌
Woohoo! 🥳🥳🥳
Hi Andrew, this is a great list, thanks for putting it together. I'll probably snag the NordVPN one :D
I've also compiled together a great bundle of full-stack Javascript courses and books from some of the best teachers I know (Ahmad Awais, Swizec Teller, Chris on Code from scotch, Dave Ceddia and many more).
Check it out - learnetto.com/blackfriday
Hello Andrew, I have a proposal for a really good deal that you can consider adding to your list.
This is an Angular/jQuery/React/Vue UI Kits & the newest Kit built with Bootstrap 5 & Material Design 2.0 with a bunch of great templates & plugins. You can save 90% on Black Friday - mdbootstrap.com/sale/
Thanks!
Hi Andrew, could you consider adding checkbot.io/? It's a Chrome extension that tests 100s of pages at a time for common SEO, speed and security issues. Deal: 60% off the first year.
Thank you for the suggestion! Good for SEOs!
And developers. :) I know some developers don't like the word SEO, but basic on-page SEO overlaps with things developers would consider essential too when they're coding new pages e.g. title tags, ALT tags, avoiding broken links, using HTTPS.
Just so you know, NordVPN never has any discounts, it's always 3$/month no matter if it is 68% discount or whatever. They are cheeating quite like that.
Same as udemy. They're always $9.99
Oh, thank you for letting us to know!
Awesome list! Thanks for taking the time to compile it :)
We're currently having a Black Friday sale on our Product Design Manual. It's an on-demand, self-guided video course to help you learn product (UI/UX) design.

20$ for Beginner Tailwind course

React 2025 Black Friday sale!
From the website:
Not your typical course.
Are you tired of courses that don't show real-world applications? In my last course, I showed how to build an application with a database, authentication, and more. But I never launched it.
This course will show the journey from zero lines of code to production for a real SaaS app. This isn't another example. At the end of the course, I launched the product.

The author is from Vercel :) I highly recommend it.
