Last week we announced an exciting partnership with technology publisher Packt. We're working with them to build a library of hands-on courses for learning tech skills, and we'd love to hear what you're interested in learning!
We've already released a number of courses covering topics like:
- Software engineering
- Web development
- Data science
- Machine learning
- Databases & SQL
Here's a screenshot from a machine learning course that contains a Jupyter Notebook:
Here's another one of a SQL course:
These courses all provide browser-based environments where you can get real-world experience with what you're learning. Getting to actually build something is an important part of the learning process, but too often performing hours of setup gets in the way of mastering a new skill.
We built the Next Tech IDE to solve exactly this problem, and we're very excited about this partnership with Packt, as it means we'll be able to release more hands-on courses than ever before!
What do you want to learn?
Okay, enough about us, tell us about you! What are you interested in learning? Is it a specific language, a general area of technology, or something else?
If you'd like, you can pick a title from the Packt website and just reply with it below! We'll respond and let you know if it's a course we're already working on or let you know when we can release it!
Your input is really valuable to us as Packt has SIX THOUSAND eBooks and videos, so there's a lot for us to pick from! 🥴
In the meantime, want to see what the current courses look like? Head over to our website to check 'em out!

I want to learn C# but I worry because I have found the way I love to write backend (typescript and node) that this won't compare or prove to be more complex for the same result.
One of the aspects of Node that I've always found appealing as well is the strong community around it.
What types of projects have you used Node for?
All sorts of things really, from writing tooling for code analysis to virtual filesystems (useless single threaded process spawning ones but still) the appeal for me is one language to dissolve this notion of frontend backend. But once blazor is mature I will be even more confused about C#. Typescript and node offers me the typesafe experience and oop (limited though). Asp.net is the antithesis of JavaScript, batteries are included and I think that's the major difference.
The backend/frontend merging in Node has always appealed to me too. Plus the concurrency model is intriguing.
Blazor looks pretty nifty, may add its getting started guide to our queue of courses!
