The best free programming resources

With the abundance of resources online it can be hard to find something relevant for the programming language you're currently studying, especially if you're a newbie that is struggling to even find basic material. I'm going to list some of the best programming resources you can find online, all free and easy to sign up for.

I'll start with Codecademy, probably the best free resource out there for starters. The site has basic tutorials for languages HTML, Javascript, Python but it also focuses on frameworks like Sass and jQuery. On top of all of that, you can also learn the command line or follow a basic tutorial of how to create a website. If you're just starting out it's a good idea to embark on your journey by learning the basics here, everything is interactive so you also get hands-on experience.

Continuing, we've got FreeCodeCamp, regarded by many people as the best site for the ones that are serious about learning how to program because you get diplomas at the end of every section. Qualification documents like those can be valuable for your CV, especially early on. The site is divided in 3 parts: Front End (Javascript, jQuery, HTML/CSS), Back End (MongoDB, NodeJS, Express) and Data visualization (D3, React, Sass). If you plan on getting a programming job in a year or so it's probably the best idea to follow their curriculum.

In third place we have PluralSight, a personal of mine. The site isn't free but you can sign up for a free 6 month trial with an Outlook account then download the courses you think are interesting. Although you can find newbie tutorials the site is geared towards the more experienced developers that are looking to improve their knowledge, so make sure to not get discouraged if you're looking to register. You can find tutorials for any language out there on Pluralsight.

Last but not least, we have KhanAcademy. I decided to put it last because the site doesn't completely focus on computer programming. Currently they only have tutorials for HTML, CSS and JS so if you're looking for a place to start learning these, this might be the right site for you. I personally love the way they teach, they let you get your feet wet and don't hold your hand through everything, that's valuable experience right there! Very good resource with a lot of positive reputation.

These are the best free resources online in my opinion. When I was just starting out as a programmer I had a lot of success following their curriculum. They're geared towards web developers but you can still find quality resources for the other areas of programming, do a quick scan around the sites and see if you find anything. Have fun!
