Free Website to Learn Coding

[zeusthemoose]

Hi there,

 

I just started trying to learn how to code and I’m starting with Java. I have some experience with html, css, and javascript. I just took the Java course on codecademy and was looking for some more courses. I came across JetBrains academy and it seems pretty good. Has anyone used it or have any opinions about it? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for other places to learn java and/or other languages for free?

 

Thanks for any replies!

This is great source for me and for my friends.

CodinGame is a an awesome site not necessarily to learn coding but to put into practice what you learn with cool graphics and fast feedback. They have some really cool AI challenges as well from time to time where you make a bot to play a game against other peoples bots.

LearnXinYminutes is a great cache of reference material for when you forget how to do that one thing. they have lots of documents for all sorts of languages, even really weird niche ones, and even tools like docker files and MatLab code.

Codecademy. Don’t pay for it. Pick any language. 

HTML, CSS is more formatting than traditional programming.

I agree with this gentleman, Codecademy is greate, and for sure don't bother with the paid teir. 

I also think freecodecamp is really good for learning webdesign and they have a lot of stuff these days, check them out too.

W3Schools is great, but in my own personal opinion it is more useful as a refrence and as a resource to check something when developing, than it is as a purely learning resource, since there is (once again this is completely opinion based so OP you have to find for yourself) a lot of better places that are better for learning for a novice. 

 

 

Also there are a few of these Free 'OpenSource CompSci Degrees' that I have seen a lot of people using to learn recently and they teach you all that you could want to know when getting started, including the math and the background, and it is esentially comperable (ish, imo there are tradeoffs and such and each has their own pros/cons) to a CompSci degree but not quite as hard/in depth obviously but they are really really good from what I have seen. I haven't personally used them as I don't have the need, but some people have told me good things about them. Here is a few to check out:

Hope some of this helps, if anyone disagrees with me, feel free to tell me so I can correct the mistake, Cheers!
