CG Cookie was revamped a few years ago to better suit building a set of general, professional skills. The old content, which was more like the typical "how do I make a living room" or "how do I build a figure," is all available for free in the archive. It includes all their tutorials from 2008 to 2015, and they're some of the easiest to follow and most informative tutorials for Blender out there. See More
If you already have a very complete skillset and just want to fill in specific gaps of knowledge, CG Cookie isn't the best site for you. It's great if you want to add an entirely new skill to your repertoire, or learn a new tool or technique (they cover Zbrush, 3DS Max, and even lost wax casting). It's not so great if you want to get better at making clothing details, or improve your anatomy skills. See More
For the price of subscription, you access to all the courses on CG Cookie. That includes courses on Unity, game building, concept art, and physical sculpting. If your interest in Blender is part of a larger interest- making statues or figurines, making movies, building video games, etc., then CG Cookie is the site for you. See More
The teaching content provided by freeCodeCamp tends to act more as an introduction than a solid learning resource. Unless you already have some prior experience, you won't have enough knowledge to get through the coding challenges and development projects without using outside learning resources to fill in the gaps.

Early focus isn't on programming. It is on signing up for all of FreeCodeCamp's social media and getting looped into their newsletters. The content is trivial. It is all just a massive marketing scheme to get email addresses of aspiring programmers to affiliate sell to by pushing novice developers to blog posts containing affiliate links. That is until they sell to a 3rd party. Read their disclaimer. Whoever buys them out gets all their user data, email lists, etc. See More
freeCodeCamp strongly encourages interacting with other learners and experienced programmers. They provide chatrooms which are always active and full of members happy to answer any questions you may have. Pair programming (programming with another user) is encouraged as a great way to work through some of their coding challenges. There are also meetup groups where you can code in person with other freeCodeCamp students. See More
There are currently six certificates available that you can get once you've completed all the projects: Responsive Web Design Certification Javascript Algorithms And Data Structures Certification Front End Libraries Certification Data Visualization Certification Apis And Microservices Certification Information Security And Quality Assurance Certification See More
Once you've completed all the courses and practice levels on freeCodeCamp, you are able to participate with other learners on developing software for non-profits. It's an amazing way to gain experience and build your portfolio as a developer, while helping out a non-profit organization. See More
Most of their videos are 'compilations', 1 hour long videos. This is not okay for parents who have data caps on their Internet plans because YouTube finishes buffering even if the child is only 2 mins into the video. And if the child decides to clicks another video, the buffer on the first video just goes to waste. See More
Likes to make claims that hurt the credibility of other creators. The most common example is JB not actually being a Linux user. While there may be some truth behind it since old videos used to be edited on a Mac. It is clear that their are a majority of members that exclusively run Linux. See More
The guy just isn’t well informed or smart about anything. And he has randomly dissed enough people in the community that no one really likes him. Even the super friendly gang at BDLL and laid back guys like English Bob actually DESPISE Distrotube, because he will just randomly criticize people out of nowhere. Also, the dude gives off a weird vibe. Like a restrained anger of some sort. Hard to put into words, but it wouldnt surprise me if Derek made the news for some crazy action. See More
One of the worst Linux resources out there. He basically comes up with a simple opinion on something, phrases it at an 8th grade reading level, and repeats it over and over until the video ends. His takes on topics range from uninformed at best, to horrifyingly wrong at worst. He also posts very strange self-focused videos, like playing trombones, himself at the gym, talking about craft beers, as if we are supposed to value him as a friend instead of a Linux resource. He also joins a lot of Youtubers in the "a lot of you have been asking me" Club. When a Youtuber says that, you know exactly ZERO people have been asking them, and they just want to talk. Also, he either started or continued the tradition of filling every corner of the screen with kitchy Linux stuff like Matrix screen savers and branded mugs. He apparently even loves his audio mixer so much that he mounted that behind him so we always see it. A three monitor workstation with 2-3 camera mounts? For a Linux Youtube channel? That's sort of like delivering pizzas in an Imperial Star Destroyer. See More
