Ask DN: Best Sketch 3 courses?

over 8 years ago from Warren Dodsdale, Designer

Hello DN'ers,

Looking to get well versed in the basics and be exposed to more advanced techniques/approaches/workflows quickly.

Wondering what concise and structured Sketch 3 courses you've taken that have both taught the basics of using the program (what functionality is included/where it's located etc.) and more advanced approaches that are used by experienced Sketch users on a day-to-day basis.

I've been looking at several paid courses (sketchdesign.io, Udemy, SketchCasts) as well as a the abundance of free, but seemingly less structured/focused sites out there.

Which have you tried? Which were particularly good?

Thanks in advance for pointers.

I find courses from Jean-Marc Denis (sketchdesign.io) and Meng To (designcode.io) really useful even if you're an advanced Sketch user. There are also a lot of cool tutorials on http://www.sketchappsources.com/tutorials-tips.html.
I hope it helps! :)

  Marko is right. Although I can't speak for sketchdesign.io, Meng To's course was very useful. Since then, I've really enjoyed Sketch and even wrote a couple of tutorials myself.

  Thanks for the plug to Sketch App Sources - Marko :)! Hope you enjoy using the site. Warren - definitely take a look at our selection, but MengTo's course is pretty amazing. We have many users who have taken it and only have great things to say. :)

Not really a course, but I'm currently designing an icon a day in Sketch, and I started recording everything I do. You find the daily videos in this youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9N7C4VLxpJWOW8Au9VZyVXcR1lRFnMKD

The most advanced technique is prevent bugs of the software.
