Beginner's Guide to Elm Programming. Build Web Apps! (Udemy.com)

- no hands on tests - outdated content. works on elm 0.18 but the latest version is 0.19 so you need to constantly update the code which is not ideal especially if you are just learning elm - examples could be better. ideally examples could be prepared in a way that one could make useful notes out of them Take a look at how this course is prepared and structured: https://www.udemy.com/certified-kubernetes-application-developer/

Overall this course was good. This was my first time ever learning Elm, and doing so because my company has asked me to for front-end development. Here's what I liked: 1) the course length is manageable. I've taken some Udemy courses that take forever to finish, due to my time constraints and only have 1 day per week at work to work on personal projects. I like that you can get through a decent amount of info in a short time. 2) Instructor is easy to understand, though a little boring. Other Udemy teachers have such enthusiasm and really pull you in. He definitely gets the point across, but in a subdued manner. 3) You work on fun examples. Guessing game, user inputs, etc. However, there are some things I would suggest to improve. I've done several other Udemy courses and like what some do. Such as: 1) Offer the blocks of code after each lecture. I would compare my code exactly to what he has, yet it still wouldn't work for me, so I didn't know what I was missing. The only way I could get it to run on LocalHost was to copy/paste his entire code base per example. It would be nicer to break it up into smaller sections so I can still code along, and get it right per section. 2) I would like to work on one big project as opposed to smaller examples of code (for example work on a full 1 page website vs. a guessing game) Like I said, if you are short on time but want a quick overview this course is good. I still don't feel like I'm comfortable coding Elm on my own, so I'm going to take another course from a different instructor.

Curso muy interesante, y como su título indica, muy para principiantes, para todos aquellos que deseeen una primera aproximación a Elm sin recurrir a leer tutoriales y/o andar consultando la documentación.

Thank you for the in depth introduction to Elm. I really enjoyed getting to know Elm with you. Your examples explain the code perfectly. Well done for not copying and pasting the whole time and actually typing out the functions and so on. Also you vary your way of performing tasks because of not copying. This ensured that I stay engaged and I could see a lot of different ways of doing the same thing. Awesome job man.

Too much time spent in repl. Trying to follow the work while at the same time managing the typing issues with multi line codes in the repl environment was aggravating. Really feels like the instructor is just winging it and not following a purposful teaching plan. Feels like your buddy said "Hey I can teach you that" then sat down and started bouncing all over explaining things randomly. Also having the company logo and lead in at the front and end of every video at a much higher volume is extremely irritating. I recommend leaving that to beginning and ending of sections rather than individual videos. You have almost 30 seconds of loud trailor for each video (15 at front and 15 at end) most of which are only 4-8 mins long and some only 2.5 mins. With the extreme volume change it gets old fast.

It's a really great progression through concepts. It feels like you're working through the required thought processes to build up functionality from scratch. I have no doubt that I can follow the same reasoning for new projects and have little trouble making everything work. Also does a great job of showing off the most powerful and useful features of Elm early on, to encourage progression.

Very nice course. Topics were shown step by step using an incremental hands-on approach. During the code construction sometimes errors were detected, and it was a good way to show how to decode these messages and how to correct them. Concepts are explained in a simple way, and the source code is small and clear in order to demonstrate the related topics. The audio is clear, and the flow of topics were built in a didactic way.

I liked clear explanations of Elm basics with stuff like Subscriptions and Commands (finally got it!). Wasn't so happy about instructor spending lots and lots of time with things like basic styling over and over and over again. Also I'm really missing informations about splitting the code into multiple files, ideal folder structure in a slightly more complex app and something about navigation/router.

I have to infer the meaning of things. There is no summary or intro of what I'm supposed to be learning. The examples are somewhat contrived. It seems that through repetition I have to pick up certain concepts, but that feels inefficient. An example of that is the Msg that is sent using the onInput: Text msg. Using the event though it states onInput Text, without the argument. It took me a while to catch up on the apparent fact that onInput sends the value of the input with the message. I do like the fact that the development process is not "perfect": You see the mistakes, you'll certainly be making and how to resolve them.

It was a super awesome introduction to elm. I feel very confident in the elm architecture basics now and really begin to like writing elm. Some more courses or additional chapters about Routing and structuring bigger applications would be really helpful for further mastery! Course has good audio, but it took me some time to get the speed of speaking to follow easily.
