Learning resources for the webpack academy workshop series for 2018

Course companion repo for three Frontend Masters webpack courses recorded in 2018 by Sean Larkin (then on the webpack core team). Each course module lives on its own git branch; you checkout branches to follow along rather than running a single project. Useful only if you're watching those specific videos.

The branch-per-lesson structure means you can jump directly to any point in the course without manually reconstructing state. Coming from a webpack core team member means the patterns shown are idiomatic, not cargo-culted. The three-course arc (fundamentals → performance → plugins) covers the full mental model, not just 'how to configure entry/output'.

Targets webpack 4 and Node 8 — both are years past their support window, and webpack 5's module federation and persistent caching fundamentally changed the configuration model. No standalone value outside the paywalled Frontend Masters videos; the repo is effectively a pile of branches with no explanatory text. Zero maintenance since the courses shipped — open issues sit unanswered, and there's no indication it will be updated for webpack 5.
