Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

lynda-copy-course

A command line utility for copying downloaded Lynda.com courses from one machine to another.

Warning!

This software is a rough cut, and has been 'tested' only on the author's windows machine. It's probably a good idea to create a backup copy of your 'destination' folder before use.

Installation

Install via npm with

npm install -g lynda-copy-course

If npm installations are unfamiliar, Lynda.com's Learning NPM the Node Package Manager course may be a good place to start.

Usage

From the command line:

lynda-copy-course D:\path\to\source\Lynda\directory C:\path\to\destination\lynda\directory [-a]

Source and destination directories are required.

Input directories should be the folders which contain Lynda's sqlite database file, db.sqlite. On Windows, this folder is located at "~\AppData\Local\lynda.com\Lynda.com Desktop App" by default.

If the optional -a or --all flags are passed, all eligible courses (ones present in the source directory but not present in the destination directory) will be copied. Otherwise, users will be prompted to select courses for copying, as in the above screenshot.

Why?

My primary machine is an offline-first desktop with bandwidth restrictions. This utility lets me transfer Lynda.com courses downloaded with a laptop at my local library to my primary machine.

A note to Lynda.com developers

It would be handy if the Lynda.com Desktop app checked the local disk before downloading video files. That way, users could move course files manually, and the app would only have to download meta-data and thumbnails.
