In my opinion (as the co-founder of egghead 😅) the problem with egghead is that there is no clear direction or guidance. You are left to your own devices to figure out what to learn when to learn it etc. There is a lot of depth, and there is a lot of material suitable for beginners and experts alike, but how would you even know it?
One of the things that have become more clear to me over the years is that egghead courses provide a lot of interesting building blocks and starters for creating your own developer portfolio projects in a concise way that doesn't give you the "paint by numbers" style of tutorial.
Tutorial work isn't good portfolio work.
I agree that you can spend your time googling and watching free videos on YT or tuck into 60-hour "courses" on udemy for $9.99 (this week only). Good luck!
@jhooks just want to take this post to say, thank you!
I use Egghead to learn about new things quickly and sometimes refresh old things I've forgotten. I also watch Egghead videos with my team to ensure we're aligned before we execute on a new coding paradigm.
Egghead, the instructors, and its community help me to level up every week, make better products, and help my teammates improve.
Thanks for the focused approach to teaching tech! 🚀
I used to learn on Egghead. Despite it won't provide a complete clear career path but it's still worth subscribing. There is a variety of learning approaches, and teaching methodologies as well, and obviously none of them will be one-size-fits-all . Folks need to be picky to get what is effective to themselves. Time is precious.
I found the site confusing. I contacted support and got directed to this page: egghead.io/guides. As a person that wants to learn full-stack, I find it difficult to create my own curses. I feel the page is more oriented to people that actually have knowledge and they just want to increase their skills.
