I absolutely love this.
I wrote a “book” (really a 30,000ish word tutorial) on Rails development earlier this year and I hated the idea of publishing it as a static PDF so I built a web app just to host the book’s content and change log, along with validating license keys/authenticating users.
I’ve never found video courses to be useful for me - I do much, much better with written word that I can move through at a comfortable pace. I’m glad to see tools coming to make text-based courses easier to build
Will give this a try and see how my book content translates over.
- movedx 4y agoI created Upload Academy for this reason. We're still building the platform and our first course is nearly complete: https://cloudopslevelone.upload.academy https://cloudopslevelone.upload.academy (currently freely available.) Our focus is helping people break into IT with a highly focused roadmap and course materials designed specifically for the goal. I've never understood the obsession with video libraries with 50,000,000 hours of video content.
