Check Out These Learning Platforms for Getting Started With Coding

A web designer and SEO specialist is reflecting on the end of 2019 and the decade of the 2010s. This person is thinking about what 2020 has in store for themselves and for the marketing profession when it comes to SEO and web design. This person wants to have a discussion about how people plan to tackle the career path and improve themselves so that they can feel more personally and professionally rewarded.

The person has specifically been thinking about the different learning platforms and whether their paid versions are worth the investment. The person listed a few and wrote their thoughts about them.

They found that Codecademy is the largest platform, but most of the content is behind a paywall that requires a pro membership. They looked at Treehouse, which has a holiday sale on their Techdegree Programs. The person thinks that the 12-month subscription is a good value at $200, but they wonder about the $200 monthly Techdegree Programs are worth it. This person also examined the Odin Project, which is free and has a course on front end development. Freecodecamp is another free online platform this person discovered, and it has a focus on development and web design.

This person wanted to know if anyone had experience with those platforms. Specifically, they wanted to know if people thought the paid subscriptions were worthwhile investments and how helpful the free content was.

One person wrote back and said that while those are all useful tools, they should not be the only tools that a person refers to when considering different development services for web designs. Another person replied and said that as a beginner, just getting started can be hard. There are too many sites and YouTube channels with hints or tips on basics. A person trying to learn JavaScript or C++ might not know which one to pick or how to tell whether a resource is any good or not. Someone else added that a site called Learn Python The Hard Way is more useful than any of the boot camps that were listed by the developer.
