Guides & tutorials to help you become an insanely productive developer.

Hi I'm Scott. 👋

In my experience, being a “good” developer is not about knowing languages, tools, frameworks, etc.

It's about being a fast and effective problem-solver.

I write guides, tutorials, and books to help you get better at just that.
