I really like this idea! It has a very real world feel and I'm not sure there is another course that does what you're talking about.

I think the course is more advanced than my target audience could handle right now, but it might a nice follow up to a bigger web app course.

I'll definitely write this down as an idea for a future course. I'd like to create a series of courses that take people from zero to employable and I think that would be a nice addition. Thanks!

100% this. I learned rails with that tutorial and highly recommend it.

There are already enough barriers to overcome when getting started, I didn't want money to be an additional barrier. I have a bunch of friends that want to learn to code, but have struggled with courses that try to get technical too quickly. My goal was to create the best resource for getting from 0 to 1.

I'm always going to offer this course, and a few others, for free. Having said that, some people want to keep learning after taking these courses. I'm going to offer a paid course that builds a full web app with users, payments, git, etc. People that take the paid course will be able to build just about any web app they want. My hope is, with a little more practice, they would be able to get a job as a web developer.

Hey, love the product, but there were just a few things I needed to be a little better.

The code highlighting was a big one, but I also had issues when updating raw HTML. I would create a code block in raw HTML and then go to update it later. When I updated it, the elements that were there previously would be escaped after updating. So any time I needed to update raw HTML, I had to recopy the entire snippet since saving it would mess up what was there.

Other than that, I would've liked a little more detail for stats. I think I was trying to segment users by how much of the course they completed, but didn't find an easy way to do that.

I like the Teachable platform and I'll be making other courses in the future. I'll more than likely switch back to Teachable when the syntax highlighting gets done.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at shane at trysparkschool.com. Thanks!

Yeah you can definitely do that. The links don't expire.

It's sent out one lesson per day for 7 days. I used to do all in one day, but the course completion rate was significantly lower. I think people were getting overwhelmed.

I don't have time right now, but I'll definitely write that down as an idea for a future course. Thanks for the recommendation!

Good catch! I updated it, thanks.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it came back with an error when I uploaded my image.

You're right. I built the page with leadpages so I figured they would do that for me. I'll have to shrink it down manually.

Thanks for the awesome recommendation and I'm glad you enjoyed the course!

Thanks! I love hearing these things. I hope you enjoy the rest of the course :)
