        <title>The entire “Asynchronous JavaScript” module of JavaScript for Everyone is now free</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>One element of JavaScript that people struggle with the most is asynchronous JavaScript. Y'know, "Why is my <code>fetch</code> returning this in the console?" for example.</p>
<p>&lt;ConsoleLogger
showLineNumbers={false}
code={`
function myPromise() {
const req = fetch('/');</p>
<p>console.log(req);
}
<code>} language="js" outputType="log" consoleOutput={</code>
Promise {
: "fulfilled",
: Response
}
`}&gt;
</p>
<p>Oh yeh, the <code>async</code> and <code>await</code> were missing!</p>
<p>&lt;ConsoleLogger
showLineNumbers={false}
code={`
async function myPromise() {
const req = await fetch('/');</p>
<p>console.log(req);
}
<code>} language="js" outputType="log" consoleOutput={</code>
Response {
type: "basic",
url: "<a href="https://piccalil.li/">https://piccalil.li/</a>",
redirected: false,
status: 200,
ok: true,
statusText: "",
headers: Headers(15),
body: ReadableStream,
bodyUsed: false
}
`}&gt;
</p>
<p>Mat gets really deep into how all this stuff works. You're not just learning how promises work, for example. You're learning all the deep parts that make them work like the do.</p>
<p>These free lessons — including <a href="https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone/lessons/7">this one</a> and <a href="https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone/lessons/34">this one</a> — will give you a real flavour of how <em>damn good</em> he is at teaching JavaScript too.</p>

        <title>Our Black Friday deals and Mindful Design are now live</title>
        <link>https://piccalil.li/links/black-friday-mindful-design-2025/?ref=links-rss-feed</link>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>It's that time of year again: Black Friday week. Well, in our case, <strong>two weeks of our Black Friday deals and Mindful Design launch</strong>. Let’s get into it.</p>
<h2>Black Friday deal</h2>
<p><a href="https://piccalil.li/black-friday/?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday"><img src="https://piccalil.b-cdn.net/images/emails/black-friday-2025-launch.png" alt="Black Friday deal. Save £60 on all courses and get a 50% coupon code to use any time" /></a></p>
<p><strong>All <a href="https://piccalil.li/black-friday/?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday">courses</a> are reduced to £189, saving £60 off their full price of £249.</strong></p>
<p>That's not all though. Everyone who buys a course during this period will be given a coupon code that they can use to <strong>get a 50% discount off future course purchases</strong>. This code will work on any course, and at any time you want. The only exception is course pre-orders where we don't accept any coupon codes, as always.</p>
<p>For example, say you buy Mindful Design for £189, you can get Complete CSS or JavaScript for Everyone for only £124.50. That saves a mega £184.50 off the combined full price.</p>
<p><a href="https://piccalil.li/black-friday/?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday">Check out our Black Friday deal</a></p>
<h2><a href="https://piccalil.li/mindful-design?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday">Mindful Design is now officially live 🎉</a></h2>
<p><a href="https://piccalil.li/mindful-design?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday"><img src="https://piccalil.b-cdn.net/images/emails/mindful-design-launch.png" alt="Mindful Design, now available. Save £60 until December 9 and get a 50% coupon code you can use at any time" /></a></p>
<p>After nearly a year of production and <em>years</em> of elite experience from Scott, he's produced an <em>enormous</em> course for you. It's a whopping 76 lessons long, with nearly 20 hours of video content and up to 30 hours of practical exercises.</p>
<p><strong>You can grab Mindful Design for £189 and yes, you will also get a 50% discount coupon code, just like the Black Friday deal.</strong></p>
<p>We’re so proud of how this course has turned out. Scott and the Piccalilli team have put <em>everything</em> into it and — although I'm biased — I think we (especially Scott) have absolutely smashed it out of the park.</p>
<p><a href="https://piccalil.li/mindful-design?utm_source=launch-day-link-post&amp;utm_campaign=black-friday">Check out Mindful Design</a></p>
<h2>Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)</h2>
<p>Our PPP discounts are always based on the full price of the course, so our system will work out which deal is going to be the best for you.</p>
<p>If your PPP discount is cheaper than our Black Friday deal, we'll present that. If the Black Friday deal is cheaper, we'll present that. You will still get the 50% coupon!</p>
<p>We're all about people getting incredibly high quality education that's as affordable as possible.</p>
<h2>Wrapping up</h2>
<p>Black Friday is the most important period of the year for folks like us and I know lots of other course producers are offering deals too.</p>
<p>Just know, by supporting Piccalilli during this period, you're helping us put even more into delivering high quality courses and even more free content in the future for our community. The balance for us is affordability and making sure our writers are rightly, paid well for their amazing work.</p>
<p>We've got so much amazing stuff planned for next year too and a successful Black Friday and holiday period will do a lot to enable that!</p>

        <title>The entire “Principles” module of Complete CSS is now free</title>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>It's been nearly a year since we released <a href="https://piccalil.li/complete-css/">Complete CSS</a> and in that time, I've been touring my talk <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHtFiciT2tQ">Get the core right and the resilient code will follow</a></em>.</p>
<p>The (not so) secret behind that talk is it's actually based on lessons #3, #4 and #5 of Complete CSS. That module is the <em>really important stuff</em> as I see it so I thought, "why not make the whole thing free for people to learn from." That's <strong>8 free lessons</strong>!</p>
<p>You can learn about communication, feedback, pacing your work, letting the browser work hard for you, fluid typography and space, layout, organising CSS code <em>and</em> progressive enhancement. That's a heck of a lot of <em>stuff</em> for free.</p>
<p>The rest of the course is paid, but I hope by reading this free module, you'll really see the benefit of taking Complete CSS. Like I keep saying: <strong>you won't be the same developer after taking the course</strong>.</p>
<p>When you get to the end of the free lessons and hit the marketing page, via the paywall, you'll get a nice bit of discount to say thanks for trying the free content too.</p>

        <dc:creator><![CDATA[Mat Marquis]]></dc:creator>
        <pubDate>Tue, 14 Oct 2025 11:55:00 GMT</pubDate>
        <guid isPermaLink="true">https://piccalil.li/links/javascript-for-everyone-is-now-available/?ref=links-rss-feed</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[<p>86,791 words later, countless rounds of thorough technical edits and a humongous team effort building custom infrastructure, <strong><a href="https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone?utm_campaign=js4e-launch&amp;utm_source=link-post">JavaScript for Everyone is now ready and available to purchase</a></strong>.</p>
<p>We're honoured that <a href="https://piccalil.li/author/mat-marquis/">Mat Marquis</a> — an author with eye-watering levels of experience in JavaScript that spans way back beyond his work in the jQuery core team, along with an esteemed record in publishing — agreed to publish this extensive course with Piccalilli.</p>
<p>I have read <em>every single word</em> of this course and let me tell you, it is <em>unbelievable</em>. JavaScript is a complicated language to learn, especially for someone like me, who's a designer by trade. Mat has somehow managed to make it incredibly easy to understand with his unique, highly approachable writing style though.</p>
<p>This is the thing you see, it's all about <em>how</em> you teach. Anyone could write a dry, but detailed guide about how JavaScript works, but most people would just gloss over that. Mat gives you the details — oh boy, he <em>does that</em> — but he does so with a rhythm and flow that helps that knowledge to <em>stick</em>.</p>
<p>He's also written the course to be your trusted reference for a language that will serve you well for <em>years</em> too. It's designed to be read in sequence when you go through it the first time, but you can pick modules and lessons up whenever you want, with free ongoing updates too.</p>
<p>The course is packed with nice features to help the knowledge <em>stick</em>, such as this console logger, that shows just how <em>bad</em> JavaScript is at math, for example.</p>
<p>&lt;ConsoleLogger
showLineNumbers={false}
code={<code>0.1 * 0.1</code>}
language="js"
outputType="log"
consoleOutput={<code>0.010000000000000002</code>}&gt;
</p>
<p>If you've always wanted to be good at JavaScript, I'd say this is your route to that exact goal. I know this course has certainly transformed my skills and knowledge for the better and I'm confident it'll do the same for you.</p>
<p>Give your career prospects a boost in the right direction and <a href="https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone?utm_campaign=js4e-launch&amp;utm_source=link-post">take JavaScript for Everyone</a>. We <a href="https://piccalil.li/company-licences?course=JavaScript%20for%20Everyone#enroll">offer company discounts</a> for your whole team to do the same, too!</p>
        <p><a href="https://piccalil.li/javascript-for-everyone?utm_campaign=js4e-launch&utm_source=link-post">Check it out!</a></p>
