List of all courses/lessons ?

Hello,

I'm trying to find a list of all available courses on Codecourse.

If I start with https://codecourse.com/subjects , I'll miss all the courses not in those subjects, for instance https://codecourse.com/courses/practical-git and many others.

Is there a way to see all available courses ?

Thanks

Hello @patriciomartins,

I don't think there's a current way to do that. Why do you need to view all courses from every subject at once?

One, I'd like to have the choice. Two, and mostly, I'd like to pick a random lesson from time to time.

Also, if there's no way to find many of the lessons, how can I know that those lessons exist, other than search for the subject in "What would you like to learn" ?

Hello,

I would submit a feature request to @alex.

Two, and mostly, I'd like to pick a random lesson from time to time.

What's stopping you from choosing a random subject and course by yourself? I understand you might find it useful to view all lessons from every topic, but overall, I think the use case for that is very niche. There's also Featured and Trending on the homepage that might help you pick what to randomly choose.

Also, if there's no way to find many of the lessons, how can I know that those lessons exist, other than search for the subject in "What would you like to learn" ?

Well, if you just want something random to watch, you would do exactly that. Randomly pick something for leisure watching. If you are looking for something specific, which I think is more common. You can use the search, as you mentioned.

How will I know that those lessons exist

Isn't it the goal to randomly pick something? Otherwise, you would know what you are looking for.

Thanks for checking with Alex. I can do the random part myself.

Why not add a subject "other" here : https://codecourse.com/subjects ? And when clicking on "other", we see all the remaining courses, like "Practical Git" and everything else.

Or just a page with all the courses, like here : https://laracasts.com/search

I'm OK now. Using some scraping, I have a list of 422 courses, and a list of 4744 videos. I'm happy with that, and will random.org those list.

You can find that on this RSS Feed.

This may help you partially I guess.

Please, Alex, add a latest course controller!

Sorry for the late response on this. Super embarrassingly I did reply, but while I was on my local machine build of the site 🤦‍♂️

There will be a list of all courses very early next year. In the meantime sounds like you’ve done a great job at scraping everything!
