by Josh W Comeau

Delivered as interactive articles with over a hundred short videos, exercises and mini-games. Sold in three packages that differ by how much of the material is included, all with lifetime access, Discord access and an unconditional thirty-day refund.

What the course covers

Summarised by TrustMyCourse from the material reviewed. Wording is our own, not the provider’s.

  1. Particle Effects

    The opening part, and the only one included in the smallest package.

  2. The Magic of SVG

    Animating vector graphics, including what SVG can express that CSS cannot.

  3. Advanced Interactions

    Interaction work beyond hover and click states.

  4. Working with HTML Canvas

    Dropping below the DOM to draw and animate directly.

  5. Bonus: Animation Design

    Deciding what to animate and why, rather than how to implement it.

  6. Bonus: Animation Challenges

    Open-ended exercises to apply the preceding parts.

  7. Bonus: Layout Animations in React

    Animating layout changes specifically within React applications.

Who this course is for

Front-end developers comfortable with CSS who want to build the animated details most sites never attempt.

Recorded from the provider’s stated audience and the level of the material reviewed.

    Advanced React & GraphQL

    A project course that builds one full-stack application — an online store with authentication, product search, a cart and card checkout — rather than teaching each topic in isolation. Around eighteen hours across fourteen modules covers Next.js, styled components, a GraphQL schema and server, client-side queries, permissions, and roughly five hours of testing with Jest and React Testing Library at the end. Sold as two packages, the smaller containing the first five modules.

    Beginner JavaScript

    A video course that teaches JavaScript from first principles without a framework, working directly with the language and the browser. It covers the parts beginners usually skip — scope and closures, prototypes and `this`, flow control and data types — alongside DOM work, events, fetching data and ES modules, with three separate rounds of practice exercises between the teaching modules. Sold as two packages, where the smaller one contains the first six modules only.

    CS50's Introduction to Computer Science

    Harvard's introductory computer science course, taught through eleven weeks that begin in Scratch and move into C, then Python, SQL and web development with Flask. It spends unusually long on what happens underneath a program — arrays, memory, pointers and data structures — before reaching higher-level languages, and ends with a self-directed final project. The course materials are free; a certificate is a separate paid option through edX.
