Learning to code shouldn’t cost you money anymore. There are a ton of great resources out there teaching programming for free.
In today's article, I’ll share the top ten resources to learn to code for free.
Let’s get started.
01. The Odin Project
The Odin Project provides full-stack web development courses. One is in JavaScript another is on Ruby on Rails.
It’s completely free.
If you want to become a full-stack MERN stack or Ruby On Rails developer in 2023 and beyond this is the resource you need.
02. Full-Stack Open
Fullstack open is another resource that provides a full-stack web development course. It is provided by the University of Helsinki, if you are Swedish you can get the Certificate too!
Fullstack open provides a full-stack MERN stack course. In the course, they cover topics like TypeScript, GraphQL, MySQL, and many advanced topics.
If you want to become a MERN stack developer this is the perfect resource.
03. Free Code Camp
Free Code Camp is one of the most popular web development and programming resource out there. Free Code Camp provides different web development courses and other programming courses. They provide full-stack MERN stack courses and Data Visualization, Machine learning course in Python.
This is a great resource if you have zero programming knowledge.
You can learn web development or learn Machine learning and Data visualization from FCC
04. CS50
CS50 is an introductory computer science course provided by Harvard University. This course covers computer science fundamentals, topics like Data Structure and algorithms, etc.
Last year this course covered HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Flask.
Every year they make adjustments to the course. Check out this years course.
05. Exercism
If you want to learn just JavaScript or Python or some other programming language Exercism got your back. They teach 57 programming languages. They don’t cover any frameworks whatsoever.
Exercism’s unique learning and practicing style makes it more fun. Also, if you got stuck you can get free mentoring sessions with experienced programmers.
06. Programiz
Programiz is another resource to learn to code. They provide beginner-friendly tutorials for programming languages. Like Exercism they don’t cover frameworks and libraries.
The programming languages covered in Programiz are Python, JavaScript, C++, Kotlin, Java, and Swift.
They also have a course on Data structure and Algorithms.
07. EDX
If you want to take computer science classes without going to college EDX is for you. EDX is an Open Course provider created by Harvard and MIT.
You’ll find a lot of free computer science courses there. EDX also has paid courses too.
A side note here: EDX provides all types of courses, not just computer science and programming-related course.
08. JavaScript.info
As the name implies JavaScript info is a resource to learn JavaScript. JavaScript info covers javaScript concepts from the basics to advance with simple but detailed explanations.
keep in mind that JavaScript.info doesn't provide any exercise or practice problems, they just cover the theory part.
You’ll have to take another supplement resource with it to practice JavaScript.
09. MDN
If you want to become a web developer you have to read MDN. It’s the best Html, CSS, and JavaScript documentation out there. MDN got a Guide and References.
Guides are tutorials and References are language references.
