Webstone Education
Technology Education Platform
Learning how to develop software is broken. Tens of thousands of videos, tutorials, blog posts, articles, etc. are readily available yet how do you know what is worth your time?
Webstone Education fixes that!
We launched our landing page at https://webstone.app! It's a basic Tailwind UI template with a sign up form for people who are interested in the project's progress.
Email addresses are sent to a Google Cloud Function, which simply logs an error with the new email address. It's an error so that GCP's Error Monitoring picks it up and notifies our team whenever someone submits the form on the landing page.
Keep it simple :)!
About a week after the launch of my "Full Stack Web Development in the Cloud" course, it reached 100,000 views 馃槷. I was blown away, but...
I realized, as soon as any of the technologies I used get an update, the course is no longer current and becomes less valuable 馃槩. I had the same realization with a Cloud Native Web Development book I published in 2020.
With a bit of time off at the end of the year, I wrote down what I think a modern, engaging technology education platform would look like. This was the start of https://webstone.app.
