I manage a UI team who are undergoing an upgrade to use Polymer. I've read up on the topic a bit and read about web components in all their magical goodness but wanted to spend a little time doing something hands on as well as scoping out potentially good training resources for people in other teams and that's when I stumbled upon Bill Stavroulakis and his Getting Started with Polymer course on pluralsight.
It's a really fun course. It is for beginners, which I feel I am, and skims the service but it really does cover all the important stuff in a pretty fast paced way. Bill is a great tutor on it because he gives off a really gentle and relaxed vibe. I think it's exactly what you want when you're new to a technology and some of the concepts.
Lots of great examples. Explanations always forthcoming and introduced me to Plunker which is a really interesting site.
The only downside I would say is the course isn't really < 2hrs. There's a lot of 50 second videos with links. It's great though so it's not really a complaint but budget a little longer to get through it.
Being the great bunch of lads that he is, Bill has already got a follow up course that builds on this introduction. I'll be hopefully giving that a go very shortly.
If you have a pluralsight account and want to take a look at the leading web component library I think this is a fantastic place to start.
