Developers friendly — Free learning resources & get certified
Many people get stuck while learning how to code cause they don’t find good resources. And I was also in the same position a few years ago. So, here are few free resources to learn how to code and some of them even offer free certificates while some charge (for certificate only).
Let’s start:
1. Web.dev
Official google developers teach you CSS with great examples. They even do CSS podcasts.
2. HarvardX
Here you find great tutorials from Harvard professors for free.
3. Codecademy.com
Learn javascript from introduction to asynchronous JavaScript for free. You get an integrated code editor while learning and you get some quizzes also to test what you’ve learned.
4. MIT Openlearning library
Another top university offering free courses ranging from Mathematics for CS to Machine Learning.
5. FreeCodeCamp
A great learning resource that is completely free. Get courses from learning responsive web design to data visualization and machine learning. They even have YouTube channel with over 4M subscribers.
6. TheOdinProject
Their full-stack curriculum is free and supported by a passionate open source community. Learn full-stack web development with JavaScript and Ruby on Rails.
7. Stanford online
Another well known top university for Computer Science is located near Silicon Valley. Definitely worth a visit.
8. Khanacademy
Khan Academy is an American non-profit educational organization that provides free courses for learners who wants to learn Computer programming, Science, Maths and many more.
9. Edx.org
Yeah, they do provide courses from Harvard, MIT, Stanford but they also provide courses from other great universities. Like this one Introduction to Linux.
10. Coursera.org
They collaborate with 200+ leading universities and companies and provide great content and programs. You can audit most courses for free but you have to pay for the certificate.
At the end I want to mention 3 more:
Hope you liked these resources. If you know other resources then let me know about them in the comment. And what will you do with the certificate — nothing. So I recommend getting valuable knowledge.
