Where I began! Text- & project-based, it teaches independence: from Linux/VSCode/Git to HTML/CSS/JavaScript plus frameworks, NodeJS and lessons on finding work.
Best of all: a SUPER helpful Discord community for when you get stuck.💯
Scrimba's platform is video-based with an active coding environment you can experiment with. This is where I got down and dirty with React for the first time with @bobziroll's free introductory course.
This is THE place where self-taught coders go to start learning. It includes well-maintained and compartmentalised training in text. The upside AND downside is that the code is all run in the browser: good for convenience, bad for independence/long-term habits.
I know, I know, but if you learn best through video then you really can't go past YouTube. So many passionate coders (including me!) love to share what they learn there, and there are full code-along courses to get you started.
Of course, spending money can speed things along or let you target your learning, BUT I haven't yet seen an argument for NEEDING to spend that money: it gives you the luxury of choice, but if you spend consistent time and effort independently, you can do it without a single cent.
