OT: The reviews on the frontpage are fake right? I'm not bashing the course by any means, I'm just curious. I see lots of services display similar user quotes and was wondering if it's a standard marketing practice.

for you it sounds great but for someone like me I like to understand how things work under the hood. Yeah I made a blog in 15 minutes using Ruby and Rails but how did that happened under the hood? I like to fully understand things not just be told how to do it. I guess that's why PHP being embedded in HTML allows me to see the bigger picture.
Well, I think there's two things to that. First, from what I understand, Rails has a lot of "magic". So on that note, you're probably just not going to like Rails or Rails-like frameworks in general (like Django, lots of magic). PHP or even something like Flask might be better for you. Different people like different levels of abstraction, and believe it or not you can write web pages in C. PHP was originally designe…

I'm looking for courses that seem to be the opposite of this... no language or programming at all, but instead looking at the process of breaking down problems. We've hired several devs out of bootcamp, and they're all taught how to code, but not how to solve problems using code... Anyone have material that might be good for this? Books, videos, courses?
He is teaching in javascript but the language he is showing you is irrelevant and it's all about the process
how does this compare to www.codermanual.com?
i'm pretty sure that if you can't learn for yourself for free by using the internet (or even libraries and help files etc. like i did) your already starting on the wrong foot. having the ability to solve that problem for yourself is important... if you struggle with that you will struggle in most real world dev roles imo, because you will need to continue to do this for yourself throughout your career.
