React.gg giveaway, A11y-Driven Development, and 50 shades of rendering with Next.js
As some of you know, we've spent the last ~15 months building out react.gg – our take on a modern, interactive React course. We're happy to announce that it just went live and is now available for purchase.
To celebrate, we’ll be running a discount through launch week – making the course the cheapest it will ever be.
Along with the launch discount, if you buy the course before midnight tonight, we’ll also send you a free ui.dev t-shirt of your choice (and pay the shipping costs ourselves).
If the early course reviews are any indication, we think you'll really love it.
