Whimsical Animations Course Open House

Oh hi HN! I'm Josh, the creator of this course.

For context, Whimsical Animations is my new course that focuses on creating beyond-the-basics animations and interactions with modern CSS, JS, SVG, and Canvas. When I launch new courses, I make a few lessons public for a few days. It’s always a bit tricky since most lessons in my course are part of a larger linear arc, and don't really make sense as standalone lessons. I tried to pick stuff that would be independently valuable, rather than it just being a demonstration of the course format / my teaching style.

You can learn more about the course on its homepage (https://whimsy.joshwcomeau.com/), since it doesn't really explain much on the Open House page.

I like Josh. His courses are expensive but compared to a college course they are wayyyyyyy higher quality. Did the CSS one and leveled up a few years ago (pre AI) and felt much smarter. He knows things that many courses fail to teach. He seems like a genuinely chill guy also.

Nice lesson on animation performance, i learned a lot by reading this.

As someone trying to build animated, edutainment-rich courses I'm a big admirer of Josh's work. Another banger

Neal.fun AND Josh posts in the same week?? The whimsy is strong rn.

I've always appreciated the craft and attention to detail that Josh puts into his work, and this one is no different. Good stuff.

Looks great! Appreciate the free preview to see what the course is like.

I took his React course and it was top notch. Highly recommend!

cool!
