Markdown Mastery: Simple yet Powerful Writing Format (Udemy.com)

This was really useful. At first I thought I'd wasted my money and that I could've learned this course using a small cheat sheet. However, I think the description/use of the tools was extremely valuable. I also appreciated seeing the difference between different flavors of markdown. It is a little outdated as others have said, but you can find where the stackedit.io tools have moved with little effort. Worth the money!

the instructor seemed nice but this class definitely did not deliver on my expectations. he stated he would avoid slides and be hands on yet literally they took up half the class. there were no exercises or quizzes to reinforce the knowledge either. key functionality like centering text weren't even discussed and that is important. i learned a couple cool tricks but i probably could have learned more by researching it online. i don't recommend paying for this class. spend the hour reading on the web and you will get all the knowledge you need for free.

Just starting. Good so far. Course uses v4 StackEdit.io, which is an older version. The instructions don't line up with with current version (v5) at times - specifically in how to enable/disable GIT friendly flavored markdown. The older version can be found at stackedit.io/editor. Beyond that minor issue, it's a good course.

StackEdit has been updated to version 5 since this course was published, which has changed the settings options so you can't carry out a couple of bits of the course as instructed. Otherwise, the course has been really good and Jason is a great instructor.

Jason Taylor takes the student through some of the common features of Markdown. He's easy to understand and follow along with the lessons. It's an introductory course but there's enough content to get a good feel for what you can do with the language.

This is a good course. The videos are short (my preference), and the course is teaching me exactly what I need to know. Good job! I feel that I now have a pretty good understanding of Markdown and will be able to use it and grow.

This is a simple, yet useful course. I had already begun investigating Markdown for use in R-Studio and notetaking (e.g., Writer, Workflowy). I picked up a couple of useful new tools here, including the how-to's of StatckEdit. The course was easy to complete in just a couple of evenings after work and was well worth the low cost. The instructor speaks in a steady, clear voice, which is probably going to be useful to non-native English speakers.

The instructor is clear, direct and follows a nice train of thought. These are constant characteristics of the instructor through all courses that I've had with him. However I felt that this course lacks content. It's hard to differentiate it from any other free online tutorial. Maybe if could be improved by adding common uses and good practices on specific contexts like github (or something along this line). But never the less it is a good course and I would recommend it to everyone that wants a nice and clean introduction to Markdown.

I have used Markdown on a couple of wikis, but I've never had formal training. This course is excellent, with thorough coverage of Markdown and the online StackEdit tool. The course also introduces the Editorial phone app, which enables you to write on a tablet or phone. Jason is a great instructor - thorough and responsive. I highly recommend this course.

As a coder that's something in the vein of fullstack, I'm always learning snippets of this language and that, so when I actually want to _learn_ it instead of checking references, it's good to know there's something out there for us ADHD-addled plebs like myself when it's a simple as Markdown. As I was starting to maintain some documentation on GitHub, I figured two things: 1. This course is $9 _retail_ so what's the harm? Pretty much $9 and time! 2. I've taken a course from Jason before, and he's a great instructor. End of list. Did I learn things about Markdown that I didn't know about before? Yes. Was it worth the $9 and time I spent learning it? Yes. Would I have purchased this course if I thought I was already quite well-acquainted with markdown? No. Would I recommend this course to someone who isn't already well-versed in markdown? Yes, but only if it's something they're interested in, or that they feel, like myself, that professionally speaking it would be good to know what the heck you're doing. My only recommendation if you're taking this course is to consider creating a DropBox account for it. He does some examples that utilize syncing with a Markdown editor called StackEdit, which runs in your browser. I didn't bother, but that doesn't lessen the course overall. If anything, it's a handy addition to your markdown education arsenal.
