Looking for Build a Blog with Jekyll course

I remember I saw it a while back. Is it gone for good? I remember it was taught by Guil Hernandez

I am looking for the same course... can anyone recommend another way to learn how to build a blog with Jekyll?

Hey there,

We retired the course a few months ago because it taught an outdated version of Jekyll. No plans yet on releasing a new course. :)

Guil Hernandez does the outdated version hold any value for those who are brand new to Jekyll? I just learned about creating Jekyll sites a few days ago and am trying to absorb all that I can on it! I found these two workshops, but can't find any others.

Create a Jekyll Site on GitHub

Jekyll Data Files

Do you have any alternative resources to learn the basics of Jekyll that you would recommend? (of course I can Google around, but I feel like you may be the most educated one to ask where to go :) )

Hey Guil,

Is something that can be looked into? I think it would be beneficial for old and new users to learn how to generate and work with static site generators, especially the latest version of Jekyll. I work at a creative agency that has traditionally built custom WordPress sites. Yet recently, we've started to move away from builds that require a server to run. Jekyll has come up a few times in-office recently in regards to small-scale builds. It'd be nice to take a step back from the docs and see a walk-through.

Alex Simoes-McArtor,

I wish that it did hold value. But the latest version is a full rewrite of the version taught in that course. The Jekyll docs are quite good; they're clear and organized. I learned Jekyll by reading the docs. :)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Guil Hernandez! I will look into it!

Random question Guil Hernandez. Would Jekyll​ still be relevant in today's web design and development industry?
