Shorten descriptions

Some descriptions for certain resources are very long, it'd be great if someone could go through all of these and shorten them. There shouldn't be too much of them.
Some examples:
- PHP: (The only proper) PDO tutorial
- Fullstack: freeCodeCamp curriculum
@lostdesign Maybe we should put some restriction on the amount of words that can be used for a resource?
Yeah they should be shortened. Approx. 2 sentenses would be nice, not sure how many words max we should do. Would be nice to have equally long descriptions in general. Looks better UI wise.
True, on my screen (1440px wide) somewhere around 6 lines is what I'd say should be the max, so, taking the example of awwwards we get

13 words, 93 characters, uxcollective.
So, having done my very reputable and reliable piece of research, I'd say we restrict it around 130 characters?
But I wouldn't be surprised that on bigger screen we can easily have more characters. Maybe we should consider omitting some words and replacing it with ... when a box gets too long vertically?
