30-day-React

I am still moving slowly, but I am done with 2/3 of all code. I created 20 of 30 projects, there are 10 more left to do.

Creating projects don't take too much time, sometimes it takes more time to come up with good ideas. Recently I found out a person through IndieHacker's email updates, who did a 100 days of project challenge. So, I think I have a list for inspiration.

I wrote a post about 3 weeks ago. It is called Creating Toast API with React Hooks. Here is a link - https://aibolik.github.io/blog/creating-toast-api-with-react-hooks

I modified my blog post and content model so that I can include some promotions. I added promotion to 30-day-React, with immediate early bird sign up form. It brought me 4 leads. It was posted to dev.to, medium and shared in twitter.

In total, I have around 15 early-bird sign ups.

I created a course intro video(talking head video), uploaded it into wistia.com then put the video into the course landing page https://aibolik.github.io/30-day-react

So there people can watch intro video, see the table of contents(first 7 lessons) and sign up. Course is not released yet, so I give away for free for all who sign up, so that it can be seen in Udemy that course has enrollers.

So, I created a Google Spreadsheet, to track all my course lessons. Each lessons consists of several parts:

0. Very first thing to do, is to think about examples - they should be useful, real-world examples and not too long.

1. Then I write that code myself

2. Prepare some scripting, or another option - improvise when recording(anyway, some preparation is needed)

3. Recording lesson

4. Some post-production

Recently, I finished Wes Bos' course called "30-day-JavaScript". I really liked it. When I was listening his podcast, he mentioned that the idea was to give people opportunity to practice much. Because he thinks the best way to learn something is to practice it much.

With the same idea in mind, I thought about course "30-day-React". ReactJS is a UI framework developed by Facebook, and got very popular last years. I've been working with it several years and have some experience to share, so I decided that I want to teach it.

Moreover, I like working with camera and video editing.
