I am working on my text course about Deno (https://niklasmtj.de/deno/course/). With Deno 2.0 just right around the corner, I'm excited to get this course into the hands of possible new users. I really like how Deno does a lot of things better than Node. With a toolchain similiar to other modern language enviroments (e.g. Golang) it helps a lot not thinking about "What might be the hot package to use right now".
Right now I have 3/7 chapters ready and I am working on the 4th right now. It will be about Deno on the CLI, learning about the permission model, getting user input etc. creating a small CLI application as a single file binary (deno compile)
After abandoning a lot of smaller side projects for years now I wanted to push through and ship something that is not just some hours of work (read <3-4 hours). I learnt that I have a lot of fun writing about and trying to teach things that I'm interested in.
That's true. I'm a huge fan of the `std` lib. I also appreciate that it is even compatible with NodeJS projects, so I can use those helper functions in "legacy" projects as well.
Oh this is funny to see. I just posted a blog post talking about Email Aliases an hour ago without knowing about the Bitwarden announcement.
I would love to see aliases being promoted more and more by companies. In the end most companies want to get in touch with you via e.g. a newsletter. So why do they need exactly your private email and not just an email alias. In the end they're reaching the same person.
That is actually to be discussed. I started thinking about putting it up on Udemy but in the meantime I was thinking that I might just put it in a .zip and just distribute it via gumroad. Or even use their video hosting platform.
The ins and outs of the Deno runtime. Since I want to build my first text/video course about it.
On the one side it could be a cool side project where I can help people getting their hands dirty with Deno and follow my passion on teaching interesting topics to folks. On the other side I want to push a project of myself over the finish line and maybe make a dollar or two with it.
