BTW I have plans for not one but five video courses:
-
A Udemy course for the very beginners (people who don’t even use Sheets that much) — basically the fundamentals like the official Coda videos but with accents set as I see it fit (e.g. more attention to database design and proper good practices from the very start without going too deep, also talking about common gotchas like
Filter().First()
and lookups by text columns that sometimes collate to wrong data types). A gateway drug to Coda, a course that’s always on sale -
A Udemy course for small businesses — basically the best practices showcase but in a concise form. Used to upsell people from the basic course onto something that’s, uhm, not on sale
-
A pro course on Schemas & Formulas
-
Another pro course on UX Patterns
-
And another, the Citizen Kane one, on Optimizations & Performance
The three latter courses will be aimed at enterprise teams adopting Coda but not necessarily willing to invest into hiring a consultant — i.e. teams where it is easier and economically more viable to hire someone internally to do Coda development but also it’s important that they do a good job about it (so that when they actually need some consultant’s help, the latter won’t vomit at the mess of a doc there’d be, lol). Also another prospective path I see there is certification: I could build a Coda experts directory of my own, each being approved by me after going through the pro training (and being approved by an Eastern European… sheesh, that’s some accomplishment! )
