React TypeScript 101 course design
Analyzed Microsoft Coursera C#/.NET certificate gap, built 13-module React/TypeScript 101 course with worked code and exercises, then wargamed and exposed structural holes (phone-only learners unreachable, 35-hour fabricated, solutions visible below exercises). The value: Shows ruthless self-critique of educational product—willing to walk back own claims and expose gaps between artifact and constraint set.
- For a board director
- You gain confidence that internal claims about course quality get pressure-tested against real constraints before they reach an external audience or your name.
- For a CEO
- Before you let anyone market this course, know the 35-hour duration was fabricated and phone-only learners simply cannot access it as built.
- For an HR / people lead
- If you're considering this for staff training, note the exercise solutions sit visibly below each problem, so learners can skip the actual practice.
- For a finance lead
- Any budget or pricing tied to a 35-hour course length needs revisiting since that figure was invented rather than measured.
