That's one of the reasons I like writing tutorials:

I have found there are mainly two types of tutorials one should write:

  • Scoped, focused tutorials.
  • Full step-by-step tutorials.

Scoped, focused tutorials, should be used to explain techniques, like this one: Fluid SVGs with Vue.js.

But, full step-by-step tutorials should be used to teach about new tech stacks.

Going from zero to fully working prototype without skipping steps.
With best practices baked-in, presenting the best libraries available for a given task.
I really like tutorials that take this holistic approach."
