I think that @laura did an excellent job with her @penpot course! Her lessons are short and straight to the point. She starts from the very basics so that anyone, even with zero knowledge about penpot or similar tools, can jump in and start learning.

For those who are adventurous enough to explore the non-http corners of the Internet, the Gemini protocol is a delightful experience to use. It has been around a number of years, making the biggest bang around the time when discontent with the web’s general demise started to reach current heights (so maybe around 2022).
