Clean Code
Another great course by Academind. Helped me SOLIDify my Clean Code concepts. Was also the first time I've seen polymorphism being used in a way that made sense.
Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
This course was a 2021 gift from Makowo that I had no plans to get around to. Eventually I saw myself doomscrolling through social media every night before sleeping and I decided that I had to replace that with a better habit and ended up deciding to spend my time watching this every night until conclusion instead. Time well spent, because this course exposed me to lower level GUI automation and it inspired me to create some similar teaching tools to this page, like Expression Visualizer and the Javascript/Python Syntax cheatsheet blog post.
React (+NextJS)
This course helped me brushing up my React skillset. Although I had 8 months of prior freelance experience with React when I started this course, I learned a lot of fundamentals that I didn't know and I now feel that I have a very strong foundation of how React works internally because of this. I was able to make some improvements to this website because I finally learned how to apply useRef effectively instead of using pure Javascript.
NodeJS (Backend focused)
This course enabled me building both (previously using Node/JS, currently with Deno/TS) backends of Trophy Place.
