Hello Carbonell, I am exactly where this article starts at, wanting to get more in-depth at programming! Thanks for sharing the ways I can get started doing that. To be honest, I had already looked at some of them, mainly Udemy and TreeHouse(not in-depth yet). As far as I know, SkillShare is also a viable place to get programming courses. Thanks for writing this article, it made me seriously consider where I am, and where I am going with my career.

YES! YES YES YES! I couldn't put it any better myself.

Can we somehow make this article an official canonical answer for this question?

This is awesome 😀 So many people have asked me this question, and I've always kind of stumbled through an answer. Now I can send them here! Seriously, thank you for taking the time to lay this all out. It's so important to consider where you are before you decide where you're going (and how you're getting there). 💯

If you can spare USD 29 per month, Pluralsight is a great resource. The materials (and instructors) are carefully curated. Watching the videos and combining it with textbook references + deliberate practice, it should get a noob up-and-running very quickly.

Nice one. I want to add Udacity in the option you don't have money, as you can do several of their courses for free.

I totally forgot some of their courses were free. I get so many emails and see ads about the classes being on sale. hahaha
