Introducing: Courses

At Packt we’re always looking for new ways for you to get the skills you want and need. In the last 12 years we’ve launched a multitude of different book types – Cookbooks, Mastering, Troubleshooting, and more; along with our highly well received Packt Video titles, all designed to offer a new way for you to learn the skills you need. Now we’re ready to give you a brand new way to become the best developer you can be.

We’re happy to officially announce the launch of our Courses range! A course takes what you love from our current range of titles and combines them with a host of extras that give you an all-in-one experience for learning the skills you want to learn. Each course is filled with hours of video content, tons of chapters from some of our best titles around, and interactive quizzes and projects for you to test your progress and ensure you’re on the right track. Best of all, everything is packaged inside our brand new DRM-free reader which you can read (or host!) locally. Whether it’s just for yourself or your entire team, our courses are the perfect way to get the complete learning experience.

Here are the courses you can get your hands on right now:

Flask – Building Web Applications: Looking to break into the world of web development without leaving your Python skills behind? If so then this is the course you’ve been waiting for. Starting by turning your computer into a modern web development powerhouse, and quickly moving beyond static websites to develop powerful database-backed dynamic Flask applications with everything a modern web app needs from full authentication systems and integrated third party APIs – all whilst providing you with hints and tips for expansion and customization along the way.

React – Scalable Web Apps with ES6: Aimed at the more experienced JavaScript developer with a few apps already under their belt, this course is perfect for those looking to discover one of the hottest libraries around right now. There’s no better way to get the essential exposure to an ES6-based workflow you need to get started creating. We’ll show you how you can leverage React in a modern development environment whilst building up an administrative ecommerce application that will help visually demonstrate best practices and provide you with a starter scaffold for your own work.

In the coming months we’ll be releasing even more courses on a whole range of different subjects for you to explore, so keep checking out our latest releases to make sure you’re the first to pick them up. Happy learning!
