- Pavan Sethi19building things. · WrittenfreeCodeCamp is a great place to start - as you can tell by the name, it's totally free and they do a really good job of starting off simple and slowly adding difficulty with each lesson. I think CodeAcademy holds your hand a little too much, whereas freeCodeCamp was the right amount of difficult to allow you to learn a little more.As a constant student, I'm constantly encountering the best resources for learning how to code. I cannot recommend freeCodeCamp enough. First, I think there are few teams that are as genuine in their quest to teach people as this team. As far as their teaching process, they combine methodologies to use a project-based approach, while encouraging you to utilize Google and other students and the dev community (via Gitter) to learn.Jose Niño PérezData, Tech and Social Science · WrittenThe freCodeCamp community is a key asset. The newsletters and Medium posts are a great aditional resource. Depending on your interest you will find a lot of relevant content and recommendations. For instance, I am into data science and regularly get on my Medium digest well explained and analyzed resources (e.g. Check this or that MOOC for learning about Neural Networks). Time saver!
- Emily Kellerttech lover & travel freak & tractive PM · WrittenI can highly recommend Udacity! I started with absolutely zero knowledge about programming and have come a far way since then. Super videos, community, mentors, and support!
- Ayush Mittal27bro @boombro, Founder RefR ✌ · WrittenIf you're just starting and exploring different ways to learning to code, consider Bubble! Bubble lets you build a fully functional web/iOS app with **Visual Programming** There is a bit of learning curve to understand the fundamentals of visual programming. Hope it helps, let me know if I can add any further info on this.

Look: There’s no platform that can enable someone with no freaking clue about how to build an app to magically build one... But boy does Bubble come close.
I love visual/no-code/alterna-code environments and have worked on several of the most famous ones. Bubble is right up there.
I feel like this tool‘s positioning (“you don’t have to be a coder”) belies its true strength. It‘s GRRRREAAAT for those who would rather NOT code most stuff.
I do my best to help folks out in the forums at forum.bubble.is, but wish it had a StackExhange equivalent -- it’s that deep. Love it and wish it the best. You can build awesome stuff on Bubble, but (duh) prepare to learn some computer science In the process (this is a GOOD thing)...
An app that's more about doing something technically than paying any attention to the user or use-cases. Is just very impractical, with all the real-world features difficult to impossible. Just look at data-upload: https://forum.bubble.is/t/best-way-to-bulk-upload/1690
- I love the broad range of options for learning Codeacademy offers. From what seems like every language under the sun to flexible tutorials, freemium model with optional quizzes and advanced versions of their lessons, etc., it's an all-around great site.Debdatta BasuCode hard. Party harder. · WrittenInteractive courses. Wide range of technologies. Will make you a pro in days instead of years. Highly recommend.
- When I was learning to code, Treehouse was an incredible resource. It is a really nice balance of video lectures and hands on activities, and takes you through from the basics. The paths are nice if you're focusing on a particular area as well.Eric AndersonVC @ScaleVP, former Google PM · WrittenThoughtful and on-trend videos and examples make learning efficient.
- Pizza Yap made this productGreat step by step article and video tutorial to teach you Swift and React. At the end of the course, you will create a final product. And from there you can change it into your own idea. Many readers have launched their product and they're starting from zero coding knowledge.

Have only done half the React course so far, but will definitely be checking out some of the other courses!

Have been a user of all three versions now. Continues to impress and educate every time.
- I'm currently going through a Web Development course on Udemy taught by a dev bootcamp instructor. I like that I can learn at my own pace, there's also a Gitter board with other students that I can interact with and who can help me get past any roadblocks I encounter. I also tried Code Academy, but had trouble having the info stick. There's something about writing my own code versus just filling in blanks in a browser console that works better for my long term memory.
- Michael SitverI build things · WrittenCodecamy, W3schools, and sites like those will help you get from 0 to 1. Github will help you get from 1 to 10. To use the metaphor of literacy, if tools like Codecademy teach you how to write words and sentences, Github teaches you to write essays and books. Once you know what a function, a loop, an object, and an array are, Github will be your best friend. It's a directory of thousands or millions of free programs written in every language, of every level of complexity. You can find one-line programs and 1-million line programs. One of the best ways to learn how to code is to read and manipulate other people's code. A few times a week I download a different project from Github, run it, play with it, and read through the code to understand how it works. Whenever I'm building something specific, I try to find a project on Github doing something similar. I look at their implementation, and it helps me greatly in building my own. Github is technically version-control. It's technically meant to help software professionals AS they build software. Secondarily though, it is the best resource for learning how to code on the web.
- Michael SitverI build things · WrittenI love this free book, and I don't even use Ruby much. I recommend at least reading the intro and preface, regardless of what language you're learning, because it's probably the best theoretical guide to learning how to code **well** that exists.
- Souhail MerrounSoftware Developer, Entrepreneur · WrittenThis one is great! Learning from great courses. Courses are projects oriented, meaning you get to practice right away. You also have a skill assessment quiz to know your level so you don't lose a lot of time.

Curious to know why someone would not go directly to Udemy and filter by free courses.
Good UX for users who are new to code
- Peter Javorkai ⚡Designer / Indie Maker / Bot Commander · WrittenI really like the way Rik and the other teachers are going through the different learning materials from the basics. The foundation course is really about the barebones of HTML, CSS and a little JS, but they have other more advanced courses on React or the one dealing with APIs. Besides the extensive amount of materials the homeworks and the course itself is supercool! The community is really engaging, and helping a lot to consume the information and just sharing the most useful new resources!Vije VijendranathCo-Founder and CEO of Tapsnapp · WrittenDesigned with DESIGNERS in mind!
- Simon Brombergsbromberg.com · EditedA simple programming "game" that teaches you coding while also demonstrating why algorithms are important, how to use an API, and how testing works. Can just jump right into it with any browser, so it's very accessible. Certainly not enough on its own, but its a cool supplement for learning to code.
