Andre Madarang

I like there are more teachers now on Laracasts. The topic of the series from Andre Madarang are great, but I kind of fall a sleep from his voice. Does anyone else have this problem too?

The quality level of his videos is not good enough to be on Laracasts.

That's my opinion... for example here.

Wow, tough crowd. I'm not sure if the quality comment is about the recording or the content, but I always learn something from his videos, so no complaints here. As for Andre's voice, yeah, maybe it's a little too soothing, but I found that if I bump up the playback speed that it keeps me engaged. Maybe more coffee or some push-ups will get you in the right head space.

So far I have liked his videos, only complaint is some are longer, would be good to break up into two shorter videos.

Hey! I enjoy Dre's voice. But also agree that changing the video speed sometimes helps. As mentioned here I do think some of the videos are not polished enough. Some mistakes in video are nice when they reveal how one troubleshoots code. But I don't want to waste my time on silly things that should have been edited out for viewing here on Laracasts.

This is one of those things where even if what you think is true, you keep it to yourself.

He left Laracast for this comments? because neither in his channel he uploaded videos anymore

Nah, I don't think so. He's a decent teacher tbh. And I don't think he give a damn about this thread.

But does anyone knows if he is ok ? he also left his youtube channel and social media.

Looks like recent github contributions (as recent as 3rd December).. so looks like he's still kicking about 🙂
