Favorite Free Web Development Resources

These are my favorite free web development resources that I actually used, excluding any official documentation and the MDN

Courses §

  • Full Stack Open Course by the University of Helsinki
    • Probably the best React-based full-stack course. Is up-to-date (as of 2019) and uses modern syntax.
  • The Odin Project
    • Go from zero to hero - curates free resources into a comprehensive course.
    • This mostly solves the issue of finding high-quality resources in the noise of the modern internet, reducing decision fatigue.
  • Scrimba’s Learn React
    • Great, shorter React-only course, despite not being as up-to-date. There is a new course by the same instructor, but I haven’t tried it.
    • Scrimba’s an engaging platform overall, with several other nice courses available.

Short Tutorials §

  • Codepip’s mini-games, namely Flexbox Froggy and CSS Grid Garden.
  • In a similar vein, CSS Diner by flukeout is great for learning CSS selectors.
  • Learn Git Branching
    • Git is part of the modern web development workflow. This is a comprehensive and accessible tutorial for a complex topic.

References §

  • Javascript.info
    • Can also count as a course. Clearly explained concepts along with exercises and solutions.
  • CSS Tricks
    • Great cheatsheets and guides for CSS
