Updated: Who Needs University? The Best Nettuts+ Screencast Training Courses

Updated: Who Needs University? The Best Nettuts+ Screencast Training Courses

on Sep 29th 2010 with 139 comments

Education is expensive…very expensive! But, luckily, 95% of the tutorials and courses on Nettuts+ are free! And, should you require more training, a Tuts+ premium subscription is extremely cheap, at only $19 per month. Alternatively, you can purchase a wide selection of screencasts, eBooks, and tutorials on the Tuts+ marketplace. Whether you’re hoping to learn jQuery, WordPress, CSS, Tumblr, ASP.NET, PHP, CodeIgniter, or JavaScript, we’ve got you covered!

1. Diving Into PHP

Diving Into PHP

Just as with the “jQuery for Absolute Beginners” series, you’ll start from scratch and slowly work your way up to some more advanced PHP topics; this is another incredible series that first aired on the ThemeForest Blog.

The Complete Series

2. Magento for Designers

Magento for Designers

Magento is a stunningly powerful e-commerce platform. In celebration of ThemeForest’s new Magento category, this mini-series will you teach how to get started with the platform: you’ll get to know the terminologies and learn how to set up a store and all related aspects of it; finally you’ll learn how to customize it to make it your very own.

The Complete Series

3. JavaScript from Null

JavaScript from Null

Thanks to the wide adoption of libraries like jQuery and Mootools, JavaScript’s popularity has skyrocketed in the last few years. However, in the process, an interesting thing occurred: many newer developers are learning these libraries without taking the time to actually learn about raw JavaScript techniques. What percentage of jQuery users don’t know how to fade out an element with only raw JS? My guess is that it’s much higher than many would think.

If you want to truly understand the library you’re working with, and improve your skill-set, it’s vital that you learn the fundamentals of raw JavaScript. And this series will teach you what you need to know!

The Complete Series

4. Tumblr Theme Design – Start to Finish (Premium or Tuts+ Marketplace)

Tumblr Theme Design – Start to Finish (Premium)

Tumblr’s popularity over the last year has increased exponentially. The reason why is quite simple: Tumblr is flexible, powerful, and, most importantly, a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, there aren’t many training resources available for the platform yet. In this video series, we’ll go through the process of taking a Tumblr theme, designed in Photoshop, and converting it into a fully working theme – in just a few hours.

The Complete Series

If you’re not already a Nettuts+ Premium member, you’ll want to sign up to get this course. You can view an introduction to it here.

Alternatively, you can purchase this series on the Tuts+ marketplace.

  • Chapter 1: Intro
  • Chapter 2: Slicing the Design
  • Chapter 3: Creating the Markup and Adding the Tumblr Template Tags
  • Chapter 4: Adding the CSS
  • Chapter 5: Configuration Options
  • Chapter 6: @Font-Face and Custom Fonts
  • Chapter 7: Slide-out Panel – HTML and CSS
  • Chapter 8: Slide-out Panel – jQuery

5. CodeIgniter from Scratch

CodeIgniter from Scratch

After numerous requests, we launched a new screencast series on Nettuts+ that will focus exclusively on the CodeIgniter PHP framework. Over the course of 15 videos (so far!), you’ll learn how to use this framework.

The Complete Series

6. Regular Expressions for Dummies

If there’s one topic that most people agree is difficult to get into, it’s regular expressions. But fear not: you’ll get comfortable using this sometimes-confusing technology with these five screencasts.

The Complete Series

You can see the whole series here, and this is what you’ll get:

7. CSS: Noob to Ninja (Premium or Tuts+ Marketplace)

CSS Noob to Ninja

This exclusive premium video series will take you from a state of absolute CSS “noobness,” all the way up to ninja-status, capable of taking advantage of the latest CSS3 techniques. The series begins with the basics: the syntax, properties, etc. However, each new video expands upon the previous, as you work your way up and improve your skills.

The Complete Series

This series is for Premium members, but if you aren’t familiar with CSS, there’s no better way to learn! Get it here!

Alternatively, you can purchase this series on the Tuts+ marketplace.

  • Part 1: Preparation
  • Part 2: CSS Properties
  • Part 3: Typography
  • Part 4: Floats
  • Part 5: Positioning
  • Part 6: Semantics, List Items, and Menus
  • Part 7: CSS Organizational Techniques
  • Part 8: Rounded Corners, Box Shadows, and Text Shadows
  • Part 9: CSS3 Gradients
  • Part 10: Custom Fonts with @font-face
  • Part 11: Taking Advantage of CSS Frameworks
  • Part 12: Extending CSS with LESS

8. jQuery for Absolute Beginners

jQuery for Absolute Beginners

So, everywhere you look, you see “jQuery this” and “jQuery that.” For the last year or so, this library has been the darling of the JavaScript world. But do you feel that you just can’t seem to learn the dang thing? Do you hate how the existing tutorials assume that you know WAY more than you actually do? If this rings true for you, I can help: check out the jQuery for absolute beginners series that first showed on the old ThemeForest Blog, and has since joined the Nettuts’ arsenal.

The Complete Series

9. WordPress for Designers

If you want to get into the WordPress community, we’ve got a great way to start: the WordPress for Designers series, from the old Themeforest Blog. You’ll learn everything from installing the platform to slicing a PSD file and turning it into a complete theme.

The Complete Series

10. The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Design and Converting it to HTML and CSS

The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Design and Converting it to HTML and CSS

This was a multi-part series across the Tuts+ sites, which demonstrated how to build a beautiful home page for a fictional business. We learned how to create the wireframe on Vectortuts+; we added color, textures, and effects on Psdtuts+; and we took our completed PSD, and converted it into a nicely coded HTML and CSS website.

The Complete Series

11. ASP.NET from Scratch

ASP.NET from Scratch

Nettuts+ is primarily a PHP haven; however, I’m sure we can all agree that there are many fantastic, and technically more powerful languages and frameworks at our disposal. Jeremy McPeak, author of Professional AJAX, and Beginning JavaScript: 4th Edition, will teach you how to build ASP.NET applications from scratch over the course of the next several video tutorials. Enjoy!

The Series Thus Far

12. Become a Master of Object-Oriented Programming in PHP (Tuts+ Marketplace)

Become a Master of Object-Oriented Programming in PHP (Tuts+ Marketplace)

Though not free, this in depth video series, split into three parts ($3 per set), we’ll demonstrate exactly how to get up and running with OOP techniques. And more importantly, we’ll focus on a real world application, rather than confusing unrelated metaphors.

The Full Series

  1. Chapter 1 - Introduction and OOP First Steps
  2. Chapter 2 – What are Objects and Classes. What’s the relationship between the two.
  3. Chapter 3 – How to Perfectly Document your Code with DocBlocks
  4. Chapter 4 - What is Encapsulation
  5. Chapter 5 – The Static Keyword
  6. Chapter 6 – Inheritance / Creating Child Classes
  7. Chapter 7 – Building a MySQL Wrapper Class (Parts 1 and 2)
  8. Chapter 8, 9, 10, 11 – Building a MySQL DB Class from Scratch

13. Dissecting jQuery

Dissecting jQuery

Sporadically, over the course of each month, we’ll post a “Dissecting jQuery” video quick tip. The idea behind these is that we’ll take a single chunk of the jQuery source at a time, break it down, and determine exactly what’s going on under the hood, so to speak. Then, with that knowledge, we’ll learn how to better utilize the library in our coding. Today, we’ll review filters.

The Series Thus Far

  1. Filters
  2. Grep
  3. Text

14. Venturing into Vim (Premium or Tuts+ Marketplace)

Venturing into Vim

Remember how, in school, sometimes, the student sitting next to you was able to explain and help you understand some difficult concept more than the teacher? The reason is because, once you’re mastered a craft, it’s difficult to recall what personally gave you the most trouble.

From September to October, I embarked on a four-week challenge, which I call “Venturing into Vim.” After hearing countless extremely talented developers praise this seemingly decade-old code editor, I decided that it was worth a month of my time to figure out why so many people consider Vim to be the best editor on the planet.

The Full Series

15. Ruby for Newbies

Ruby for Newbies

Ruby is a one of the most popular languages used on the web. Today, we’re starting a new screencast series here on Nettuts+ that will introduce you to Ruby, as well as the great frameworks and tools that go along with Ruby development.

The Series Thus Far

You’ll be a Pro in No Time!

Well, now you’re well on your way to becoming a well-trained web developer. What’s your favorite tutorial here on Nettuts+? Let us know in the comments!

If you enjoyed these screencasts over the last year or so, and would like to give back to Nettuts+, please do consider signing up for a Premium Tuts+ subscription.

    I’m sorry but honestly college is more than about the education you gain there. Networking and discovering other fields than web development actually promote a better understanding of the stuff we build on the web. Example, at first I thought psychology was completely unnecessary until I realized how important it is to understand how the user interacts with phones, computers, etc…

    Although it is useful to know the topics covered in this article, it is misleading to think that a higher education isnt worth it for the field we are in. At one time, I did believe the same thing, but honestly, now that I reflect upon my experience, I wouldn’t be where I’m at without the education I acquired and the people I created relationships with.

    Anyhow, this is a great overview of what is being offered here at nettuts and showcases how thorough the envato network is in all of its categories (from design to development).

      I agree with Dilion’s comment. You can network and build relationships without an education (not saying that you did not say this), but it all depends on you and your drive to achieve. Education is simply a helpful tool.

    College is for rich kids who want to party and swindle their way into an easy job on computers, not people who are genuinely interested in creating anything of worth.

    I’m sure there is some famous quote by someone that would put richies in their place right now, but I didn’t go to college, so I don’t know it…

    I did just learned jQuery and AJAX in several hours.

    ….suck it!!

      I don’t know how things are in the US (I’m in the UK) but I can tell you without any doubt in my mind that I’d find it very difficult to hire someone without the relevant qualifications in a CompSci field for a programming job. What the Tuts+ guys do really is great but it is not a substitute for a formal education.

      I’ve been developing software professionally for about 6 years now and have worked with people like Walmart, Tesco, Vodaphone, Orange and various sectors of the UK government so without wishing to appear big-headed,.. I know my stuff.

      I am not, not have I ever been a ‘richie’ though I certainly earn a great deal more now than before I went to Uni. I had to take out a loan, work VERY hard to earn my degree and work even harder to climb my way up the ranks of software development.

      I still owe a lot of money on that loan but it was worth it and ultimately, to improve my standard of life I had to take responsibility for my career and get the degree.

      I’m sure the article title is meant, at least to some extent, in jest but I’m not sure yours is so let me tell you WHY you might want to get the proper education for your field.

      What a degree gives you first and foremost is the ability to educate yourself. I can pick up a new technology/language/framework/ in a few weeks and be considered a good developer in it. How can I do that? I can do that because I have a well rounded education in ALL areas of the science,…not just AJAX with JQuery. I learned what what best practice meant in database design, interface design, object modelling and such. I learned the fundamental difference between object oriented, procedural and functional programming and how to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the various features of each. I learned how to evaluate all options in implementing a solution and how to select the best of them. To put it briefly, I learned a very great deal. Something that cannot be learned by watching a quick tutorial but only by years of extensive research and education; not to mention all the help and guidance you get from your tutors.

      I understand that for many, all they want to do is to set up a small company doing a little web development or become a freelance developer and for those people it is fine to just get the particular skill required to get the job done.

      What I don’t understand is how people without any understanding of the benefits of a proper education can throw disrespectful comments around about people they have never met. Tell you what,..get the qualifications and then come back when your good enough.

      Suck THAT…. :-)

        I think you got it right, but you have to consider that (if you are in the US or UK) universities in your area are a way beyond the rest of the world (especially if you are a third world citizen). I study medicine and I learn programming/design in my free time. It works well for me, because I’m using it for a side income and to help me be a little bit independent from my parents.

        I rarely join any classes at my uni. and almost study everything at home. The only benefit/advantage I find is the ability to access the hospital which couldn’t be possible if I wasn’t a student enrolled in the medical school.

        But what about Comp.Sci. Students? It’s even worse with professor that don’t even know what they are talking about and if you are the right programmer and can make as little as $1K/month, I’ll doubt that you’ll ever look at a job in the IT world here (North Africa).

        I also went to college to get my proper education. I still like this tutorials because they are a fast and easy intro to new and cool stuff. Some of my friends enroll in courses to learn this type of information. I rather watch these tutorials as an introduction and then explore and grow on my own. Or at the very least to decide whether to invest my time into any particular technology.

    I received my degree a few years back. So from coming on both sides of the fence, going to college is a great experience if you can afford it. But its not how you become a designer/developer. You become one because you are one. These screencasts are great for self teaching or adding to your studies.

    If you want to go to school or have been waying your options. Go to school. Succeed. You will learn something, rather from your peers or your teachers. Network and make connections and have fun.

    If you think you can do it w/o school or can’t afford it, don’t let it stop you. Watch, Read, Learn. Get experience by doing odd jobs.

    Education comes in many forms, but each form is extremely valuable.

    I do not take the title seriously, nor do I think the this site takes the place of a college.

    But I can say that it is a wonderful thing that Nettuts gives us here. Especially those of us who may be unemployed and cannot afford to go to college. The tutorials given here have helped me immensely and quite frankly instead of worrying about whether or not they replace formal education I think we should just be thankful that we have a website such as Nettuts.

    Given the comments on many of the tutorials I’ve seen her a tremendous amount of people out there who just need the information given in a tutorial here. Many times if you look at the PHP.net pages or other formal documentation it doesn’t always give you the deep down usage knowledge that you need. And a great many times I have found that knowledge right here. when learning codeigniter the Jeffrey way tutorials paved the road for me.

    So I would like to say thanks to Jeffrey Way, Burack, the rest of the tutorial authors and lastly Envato for the knowledge they give us

    As far getting a college/university education, it depends on each individual and their circumstance. If you can afford to get a degree and want to do it, I say go for it. College isnt for me personally, but that doesnt stop me from learning web design and development. Luckily there are other free (and low cost) resources like the ones that youve provided here that a newbie like me can use to get better at web design and development.

    Thanks for this great collection.

    I have just been awarded my degree in Graphic Design and I am now working for a Web Design company. When I had my interview, my employer explained that they hire people who have the design skills rather than the technology knowledge. Learning how to use a piece of software can be taught, but having a creative ability tends to come naturally.

    I had no web experience other than a small project set at University so my knowledge was very limited. I have used online tutorials to help me learn the software side of getting my design on screen, and I also have a very knowledgeable team leader who has taught me loads. I will find all these tutorials will really help me to expand my knowledge.

      It certainly depends on the field. For web development, I know numerous extremely skilled devs who never went to college.

      In my opinion, to imply that a person cannot “make it” without a sheet of paper that costs $100k to acquire is insulting.

        I agree though that depending on the field having that specific degree doesn’t matter. My friend makes a pretty penny over at Microsoft and he majored in English. One of my co-workers is one of the smartest developers in the office and he majored in History.

        However, if you’re not going to get a degree than most employers respect good work experience as well.

    You sure have a lot of faith in the video`s here. That`s truly misleading. Going to a university isn`t all about the actual programming/designing. I went to university not because i wanted to be good at programming, obviously, it was part of my decision, but i went to school because of the networking. Those who dare say professors and tutors don`t know their profession should try and do it better. I challege everyone who says this to actually back it up on facts.

    It`s not about the quick fixes for a program, or the “basic” connections to a database here, in college you learn a great deal on database engineering, object models, using the UML, how syntax works, why it works, why it was designed that way, and all that knowledge contributes to a better understanding of programming.

    I dislike people who claim to know PHP. Especially those “self tought experts..”

    Guys, relax. It’s a title to a blog post.

    Some people don’t like college. Others can’t imagine life without it. To each their own. One way isn’t better than the other. So relax people.

    I for one didn’t finish college, I work in the field that I love, and I make more money than I need. There’s more than one way to life.

    This post does not show up properly on feed readers. The font’s keep increasing exponentially until one cannot read the posts any longer.

    Awesome stuff, I absolutely love my premium membership!

    I’m in college and I’ve learned more here than in the classes I paid hundreds of dollars for. If you guys offered college degrees then I’d drop out and just get my education here :P

      No kidding, right? The best thing I got out of college education and career wise (aside from networking and connections) was the skill to learn and educate myself. It really is an acquired skill to effectively educate yourself.

    All of the immature comments on here are not needed. Thank you. I think the only differences between the information here and at college are the fact that college you must pay for, and in college you have instructors to help you in person. Nice post.

    Nice tutorials I love it.

    Although on the title is somewhat “Controversial”, but reality really hurts … Education is really an advantage especially if you are finding a job. Companies preferred to hire degree holders, But again reality sucks there are a lot of guys who are “Degree holders” claiming to be experts (because of the “paper”) but failed to deliver results. FACE IT GUY’S a lot of you sucks when it came to actual skills. I know a lot of developers who are skilled and make it even without a university/college degrees. They even paid higher than those who have degrees. Proper education is just a stepping stone for a good career. But is doesn’t mean that you cannot succeed if you are not properly educated. “INSECURITY” is the issue here people. FACE IT!!!

    If you are an “expert” because you have a degree, the question is, why did you subscribe to these tutorials ? why do you want to acquire a skill that you say cannot substitute a degree?

    It’s a smack on your face if you are a “degree holder” that cannot beat high school grad who kick your butt because he/she has the skills.

    Again, education is very much important and I value it. But in reality there are smarter, brilliant guys with good skills that is not measured with grades in schools or exams to deliver results. FACE IT !!!

    I admire those talented guys with out degree not only them but also to people who are degree holders that can deliver results. PEACE
