My thought is that some people value video code-alongs, but I think when used as your primary source of learning they give you a false sense of skill/knowledge. It is not until you work on a project by yourself and have to break down a problem into smaller problems (write it out in pseudo code), learn how to research/google problems, dig through documentation to help you understand a certain method, debug your own code, etc. does the real leap in skill/knowledge take place. I think beginners don't know what they don't know and they think what feels productive at the beginning is what will work for them. It has worked for some people, so maybe it truly does. But, to answer your other question, TOP is more than good enough for a beginner to learn web dev. Their entire curriculum is project-based and you have to do all the skills that I listed above. I did TOP and I started my first web dev job 2 months ago. One of the best parts of TOP is their Discord community, where you can ask (and answer) questions. Plus, you will see new stories of people getting jobs on a very regular basis. More on reddit.com

Eu estou fazendo agora, estou gostando e vi muitas pessoas falarem bem. Acabei a parte do CSS e flexbox agora com o projeto de landing-page. https://felipemalacarne.github.io/landing-page/ (talvez eu termine ele KKKk, deixei com os espaços em branco mesmo) Quero mais pra frente focar em back end, mas acho que é uma boa aprender o basico de front end também. Eu gosto de aprender lendo. More on reddit.com

This is coming from a full stack developer but I haven't completed either of them. Recently I started with fcc to brush up my basics so I gues I can comment here. The fcc path is really good, I completed 3 sections(html, basic css and enhancing visuals) with 50+ topics in each of them in a single day without getting tired. What I am trying to say here is that they have designed their course in a really good way, and I personally liked it. Secondly about industry ready and being employable, what you need are the skills and project to showcase those skills, no matter which path you take at the end of the day you should be able make some projects, understand what and why you're doing something instead of just following the tutorial. Another thing I'd like to share here, I remember when I interviewed a guy for android developer position at a small business. He had a couple of projects but when I asked questions related to the project, pointed of functions/logic and asked him for the reason why he wrote that, he had no clue because all he did was followed the tutorial or copied from github without understanding what was going on in the project itself. And they were basic questions and nothing complicated. More on reddit.com

fullstackopen.com just opened up its 2020 class. Definitely worth to look at.
