This is awesome. There are too many tutorials out there that don’t show how to fit all the pieces together. They’re more of the “learn functions, and solve math problems in a REPL environment.”
To that end, is there a platform that regularly provides updated/crowd sourced tutorials that are more software engineering based? For example, these tutorials can be taken to the next logical level and shown various ways to host these applications, and using SQL to manage user databases...etc.
This seems dismissive. Books are great, but they're usually put together by a single, knowledgeable author, rarely demonstrate how to construct a full-stack application, and definitely don't lend themselves to consistently staying up-to-date. Something like the RealWorld repo [0], which shows how to put together something in a variety of different languages and styles, is better for this.
Could link directly to https://hyperskill.org/
and the disclaimer in their terms is of importance:
"Hyperskill is a part of JetBrains Academy's learning experience. While most of learning will be happening online on hyperskill.org, some parts of the service are accessible only via JetBrains IDEs."
Did you click on the link or visit the tutorials? It appears to be a pretty sweet e2e application development course.
Obviously their end goal is to eventually get you to get comfortable and prefer their IDE, but thats not a bad thing. The alternative is a paid course which gate-keeps people without financial means.
There website is struggling right now. It took ~10 seconds for github login to popup after multiple clicks and I keep getting an error when trying to start a project.
It might be all the traffic from the HN newsletter?

They have a huge marketing budget. Annoying to see their spam everywhere.
