Web Dev Bootcamp
I recently discovered Udemy, an online learning resource where one can sign up and take a variety of online courses from Business to Design, Marketing to Web Development. The courses are usually priced about $199.00; however, from time to time Udemy reduces course prices drastically, slashing them to just $20.00 or less.
Such was the case with the web developer course I'm now taking.
The Complete 2019 Web Development Bootcamp, by Angela Yu, is a comprehensive online 'bootcamp' where web development lessons build one upon the other with the goal of immersing the user in the language, syntax and web development environment. Dr. Yu (she's also a medical doctor with interesting hobbies ranging from beer brewing to motorcycle riding) starts with introductions to HTML and CSS and then goes on to Bootstrap, Javascript, JQuery and the Command Line (to name a few) and includes topics related to Backend Web Development as well.
The course boasts over 40 hours of instructional video with coding challenges and numerous resources including image and text files as well as coding documentation. I'm about 10% into the course and absolutely loving it! Yu's explanations are clear and concise and she uses interesting graphics in her videos to demonstrate and explain the concepts she's discussing.
The cost of a bunch of web development courses recently went down to approximately $12.00 per course so I purchased seven courses ranging from web dev bootcamps to IOS programming to SQL to Visual Basic.net. All courses boast lifetime access and each course tracks your progress in the videos, allowing you to go back and review previous lessons without losing your current place in the course.
In my opinion, this avenue is far more instructional than The Odin Project, a free resource for learning web development that I initially started with. The Odin Project, in my opinion, did not start the user with introductory content but rather thrust them into topics such as GitHub and programming syntax (for/loops, variables, etc) without laying a solid formation in HTML and CSS.
If you're just starting out and looking for a structured way to learn web development then head on over to Udemy and check out the various bootcamps and topical courses there.
Well, back to studying.
