Since I&rsquo;m writing my blog in markdown, I figured why not review it with something other than the Kramdown cheatsheet. <a href="http://wesbos.com/">Wes Bos</a> has a number of video courses, some free and some paid for. His <a href="https://masteringmarkdown.com/">Mastering Markdown</a> course is one of the free ones. It&rsquo;s really only a single 23 minute video, so not much of a course, but since he just came out with a Learn Node course and has another longer free course of Javascript projects, I figured why not try the little course to get a feel for his teaching style and see if I want to invest any more time and/or money in more of his courses later. His other free courses if your interested include <a href="https://commandlinepoweruser.com/">Command Line Power User</a> which has some Z shell tips that I might check out, since I&rsquo;m sure I&rsquo;m not making the most of it, and <a href="https://javascript30.com/">JavaScript 30</a> which is 30 days of building 30 things in vanilla JS (which promises no frameworks, no compilers, no libraries, and no boilerplate). Unless this one is terribly, I&rsquo;ll probably sit through the command line one after this. The JavaScript 30 one I&rsquo;ll only invest time in if I like these two. Well, without further ado, here&rsquo;s my opinion of <a href="https://masteringmarkdown.com/">Mastering Markdown</a>.</p>
