Derek made a video about TOP teaches HTML and CSS. To be fair, most people teach it that way (kinda leaving out the responsive nature of the web browser). [[note: we never put it up on YouTube / but probably should]]
Here's the video on dev.to and the video on our blog.
A few people though it was a rude video. - but we think it's pretty rude to teach HTML and CSS like it's 2010. And as educators, we should be able to deal with critique and suggestions.
However - we did learn something intersting. Briggs said that "TOP isn't a "web dev course." Confusing! We always through it was. "The Odin Project: Your Career in Web Development Starts Here. Our full stack curriculum is free and supported by a passionate open source community." "Learn everything you need to know to become a web developer." Seems like it is saying that TOP is a web development course. But - hey, maybe it's just an advertizing platform for coding boot camps.
Apparently - the only think more arrogant than saying you are "the best" - is suggesting / that you could be a little bit better. Long-live your false sense of altruism - and long live the bloodsucking corperations that you serve.
Some code from our video about TOP's landing page project (because a few people asked for it) - BUT really... you should just WRITE THE CODE YOURSELF.
