Free resources that I love in my full stack journey

This post sits in my draft box for a while. When I clean up my blog, I find this piece and feel too bad not to share it. I've validated all links also. By the way, I'm a DevOps engineer now. Life is full of surprises. Who knows?

Full stack open

Before I publish this post, I have checked that their course has updated in 2022, which is good. I love this tutorial because it’s beautifully designed, and it contains full lifecycle of software development. Shipping code to production environment is missed in a lot of courses.

Javascript Info

This is the best Javascript tutorial I’ve ever used. Articles are all well-written, easy to follow. The design of this site is also what I like. It doesn’t need login, convenient for those who are lazy. It has well-designed exercises and solutions. The website also has a discussion board! I love this tutorial and there’s nothing to complain.

FreeCodeCamp

Here it comes, the classic of the classic learning platform. I believe that many people start their journeys here. I firstly used this site to learn frontend so that I can better understand my colleagues well in 2016. Then I used this later for my serious career transition. Reading stories of how people use this to get their dream job is truly inspiring. It companies me in my most struggling period. This website has evolved and included more topics till today.

Front-End Web Development, Chewed Up

When I want to dive deeper about specific topics, I would search them here. This platform has more resources about react, vue.js, angular, etc.

The Missing Semester of Your CS Education

This is a really good complementary material to above courses. Topics that covered here I think should be mastered by every engineer. But sadly, few learning platforms mention these. I find it very useful to learn these. The course does not only have youtube videos but also exercises.
