This is odd timing with Rich Harris just releasing a course on Svelte v3 on Frontend Masters (June 12th 2023).

https://frontendmasters.com/courses/svelte-v2/

From the migration there does appear to be some breaking changes, don't know how that aligns with the course which I planned to take.

His old course was good as well, but that relied on Sapper.

The breaking changes aren't really gamechanging stuff, just cleaning up baggage in preparation for Svelte 4.x and Svelte 5. The course would still be fully applicable
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. I really enjoyed his course last time, I also wish he would put out some data viz content too. I bet he develop lots of good insights during his tenure at the NYT, but understand he is tied up with Svelte atm :D
I took the course when he did it live. There is lots of good stuff in there. The meat of the course was mostly going through learn.svelte.dev. One day was on Svelte and one day was on Sveltekit. The most interesting part was the end of day sessions where you actually build apps.

I don't think you learn anything that wouldn't apply to Svelte 4. It's intended as a smaller update to prep them for bigger changes coming in Svelte 5.

It does say "Svelte 3+" on the page, although I don't know if the plus was there before.
