Two more courses are in production right now.
Git, taught visually. Every command is animated so you can see what actually happens when you run it. We plan to make this one public for everyone.
And SQL. You write a query and the result is visualized instantly. No database setup, no containers, no cloud services.
Study Advisor is now in beta.
It knows your goals, the courses you've taken, and the lessons you struggle with, and it helps you plan what to learn next. Got a JS interview coming up? It can generate custom challenges just for you.
Premium only while we monitor stability and performance. Everyone gets access in the next couple of days.
NEW COURSE: Software Design Principles in JavaScript
The hardest and longest course @traversymedia has ever produced. You refactor a real help desk project step by step in the interactive editor. SOLID, DRY, composition vs inheritance, design patterns.
Premium only for the first few days as a thank you to our early supporters.

New Course by @traversymedia 🚀
Zod is the TypeScript-first way to validate data at runtime. You describe a shape once, and that one schema checks your data, produces clear error messages, and hands you the TypeScript type for free.
