About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

While developing web applications, anything that feels repetitive should ring alarm bells for you. If a task is loaded with manual work, then why not write scripts that can deal with it for you? In this course, you will learn how to deal with many repetitive tasks such as zipping files, emailing colleagues, and deploying your work at the press of a button. You will learn to create global commands and a working bespoke Node build tool that allows you to automate the repetitive tasks you hate doing. The course will be divided into two parts. The first part is a collection of recipes or building blocks that behave as individual global commands. These can be used as you go about your day and can be called at any time to speed up your workflow or just for pure convenience. The second part is a walkthrough of creating a cross-platform build tool from the ground up that you and your team can use to speed up your workflow.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
