New Features at raywenderlich.com — May 2022 Update
Make the most out of your time with raywenderlich.com — check out the newest site features created just for you! By Lauren Elizabeth.
To help you stay on top of all things mobile app development, we’ve been hard at work creating new features to better help you connect with the content. No matter whether you’re new to the site or a long-time member, you’ll love these new features that are available as part of your account!
Your New Homepage
If you’ve logged in to the site in the last few weeks, you’ll have noticed your redesigned homepage. This gives you quick access to new content, as well a way to view your in-progress content! You can pick and choose from any in-progress books, videos, Learning Paths, and articles, all while staying up to date on newly-released content. You can also see your Achievements progress — but more on that later!
Ratings and Reviews
You can now provide us with valuable feedback on all content you consume! These reviews will be publicly available for anyone to read, and will help you and others find the best content for your needs.
Badges & Achievements
Get recognized for your work as you progress through our tutorials! Now, as you navigate our site and complete our content, you’ll earn badges and achievements by finishing any of our articles, videos, books, and Learning Paths. There are 34 badges and achievements to earn — how soon can you earn them all?
Community Hub
We have a lot of content and events to help you in your career, including events, podcast episodes, bootcamps, mentorship, career navigation — and more! To help you navigate this, we’ve created a single, central hub for you to stay up-to-date on our events calendar, upcoming opportunities, and other ways to connect. Our newly minted Community page is your one-stop access point for the connections, professional insights and opportunities you need to succeed on your dev journey. Check it out now and connect with your community!
Video transcripts (coming soon)
For members with access to our video tutorials, we have a special feature planned to make accessing them even easier. We know finding a specific bit of information in our video tutorials can feel like sorting through a haystack — which is why you’ll soon be able to enjoy video transcripts for our video courses. These will give you a timestamp you can click on to jump to specific points in the video. Keep an eye out for this feature in the next few months!
