Project setup
First, clone the repo and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/IlIllII/collecobrary.git
cd collecobrary

This will run the server on localhost:8080 and provide hot-reloads when saving files.
To compile and minify for production:
npm run build
To run the linter:
npm run lint
Once everything checks out locally, merge your pull request with the master to redeploy the live website.

<br> <h2 id="about">💡 About</h2>
The idea for this project spawned from my own frustration with the online learning landscape. Finding quality courses is like searching for needles in haystacks. Hopefully this can make it a little bit easier to find a quality learning path.
<h2 id="resources">🧠Resources</h2>If you are trying to find good courses, here are some places to look:
- OCW - A lot of OCW is pretty old and incomplete, but MIT, Yale, and UCI seem to have pretty good OCW still.
- Youtube Channels - A lot of universities and professors post lectures on youtube. Stanford is a good example.
- Berkeley Webcasts - Massive archive of lecture recordings from before 2017 when they stopped doing them.
- University departments - Often you can find course websites online and some of them may have complete materials, such as Kellis Lab at MIT. Additionally, sometimes professors will post their courses on their personal websites.
Generally I have found that the MOOCs and other "learning platforms" have courses that are pretty poor quality, but that's just my opinion.
Good luck!
