I know it’s been a while, but we’ve been busy despite our lack of news! Both Tom and I have spent a lot of time working with Apollo, and we’ve decided to start blogging about our experiences.
@sacha@tmeasday - the last time you guys started blogging about your experiences, we ended up with the awesome Discover Meteor book. Does that mean Discover Apollo is coming? My wallet is open!!!
Yeah I’ve referred so many meteor-curious to discover meteor back in the day, I myself was a happy customer, too!
Now if there’s a discover apollo book (keeping its roots in meteor, though, for simplicity if nothing else), not only would I pay for and keep it handy, I’d definitely refer it to everyone who asks me “hey how do I become a developer”.
@hwillson@serkandurusoy thanks! I think we need to wait for things to settle down a bit more before we consider if we want to write a “Discover Apollo”. But it’s certainly nice to know there’s demand for it
Video courses are super hard to update though, since you basically have to re-film everything from scratch anytime you need to change something. So they’re not great for fast-evolving libraries like Apollo.
Well like you said, you’re not going to do it until Apollo stabilizes a bit more anyway. I guess it’s just a matter of asking yourself: is selling a video course for $72 - $150 worth the extra work? I’d say yes but that’s entirely subjective.
