Could not agree more.

I might be inclined to drop udemy as well simply because of their track record with pirated content.

I would also suggest: The Odin Project

They recently added tracks, which means you can jump right into JS without having to go through the Ruby sections.

That book "A smarter way" is really good, kind of mirrors Zed Shaw's "The Hard Way" series by having lots of exercises to do vs just explaining a concept and moving on. Excellent if someone wants to learn JS from a book and doesn't care for the ahead Start series.

The best platform is an old book on 8062 microcontroller assembly. Learn assembly first by doing hands on projects then go from there. Most web programmers are complete garbage and their training material is even worse. If you start close to the metal then learning C will be a breeze and interpreted scripting languages will be simple.

It's the most efficient way of doing hands on projects and you just go from there.

I see people starting with pen and paper and those people are just rubbish.

I agree that educative.io is great and from my perspective no video. Finally I had enough on video tutorials.

I would definitely suggest leveluptuts
And Wes bos's courses. I used to do all the other places. But at this point those are the two guys I go to now.
