    Thanks, I highly recommend learning freecodecamp front-end courses. They're all free to use. They also have an awesome yt channel, I learned a lot from there. Youtube and Freecodecamp were enough for me to get webdev skills.

  2. Strongly recommendsfernick6r/learnprogramming2018in “Games to learn JavaScript?”

    Look, I know you're asking for a game, but I've recently started the freeCodeCamp's curriculum and I have very little left to get a Front End Certificate. I recommend this a lot, I haven't found any course that teaches so great, it covers from beginner to advanced and it's free. I'd tell you not…

    You have the main priorities down if you’ve learned other languages. Now it’ll just be understanding front end languages. Have a look at freeCodeCamp and you can just whizz through it. Or Jonas https://www.udemy.com/user/jonasschmedtmann/ on Udemy is great (his courses often go on promotion)

    I’d start with free online coding courses to gauge your interest in it and see what is more appealing like what language you’re into, or do you prefer front end, or backend type things. Freecodecamp.org is really good for beginner coding exercises with a lot of emphasis on front end and…

  5. Recommendsaustintackaberryr/learnprogramming2017in “What are the current best online resources?”

    "on sale" But yeah I would also recommend that course, and if you want project ideas check out freeCodeCamp. There is also an advanced version now that focuses on ES2015/2016, animations, React, D3, among others.

  6. RecommendsRCadyr/Entrepreneur2017in “What would you recommend to a part time student if you have 2 months to learn a skill/service (during summer) that you would later earn you $10-$15k in a year?”

    Really there isn't any specific skills you need. You mainly need to have the ability to learn and adapt to things quickly. As well as being a good problem solver. I think you mentioned freecodecamp and honestly, you really can get a frontend job after completing that. You may try taking a couple…

  7. Recommendspasportitr/learnprogramming2017in “Has anyone ever done CodeUp??”

    In today's world I would say - why? There are plenty of free courses - do freeCodeCamp for example, or there are plenty of resources in FAQ. You can pay that much and take classes at local college or university if you want to have a teacher. If you really want an apprenticeship program after doing…
