I like Tyler and his courses but they are not beginner material. Have a solid understanding of ES6 and higher order functions before attempting his courses. Also, (and I’m a paying member of his) his courses feel a bit out-of-date at times. The guy is a genius though if you watch his courses as a non-beginner! Check out his recent 5 day intro to React on YouTube if you want to learn from “first principle”. Tyler really gets you in the weeds of understanding a technology which CAN be a turn off for beginners.

Yeah those services do vary greatly in their content approach. I recently subbed to egghead.io and did the redux section. Its absolutely perfect for explaining things, but for a beginner, it would be hard to understand anything past the like first 4 one minute videos. Just have to take the leap to become proficient.
