With hard work and determination, anyone can learn to code.
Here’s a list of my favorites resources if you’re learning to code in 2021.
Here’s a list of my favorites resources if you’re learning to code in 2021.
1. freeCodeCamp.
I’d suggest picking one of the projects in the curriculum to tackle and then completing the lessons on syntax when you get stuck. This way you know *why* you’re learning what you’re learning, and you're building things immediately. https://www.freecodecamp.org/

2. http://CodeWars.com is a hidden gem. Things I love about it:
1) You can see the most upvoted solutions so you can read really good code
2) You can ask questions in the discussion section if you're stuck, and people often answer. Free mentorship! https://codewars.com/

3. https://stackoverflow.com/ and http://github.com
On stackoverflow you can find answers to almost every problem you encounter. On GitHub you can read so much great code. You can build so much just from using these two resources and a blank text editor.

4. https://egghead.io/ @eggheadio specifically for frontend dev.
Their tutorials are designed to maximize your time, so you never feel overwhelmed by a 14-hour course. Also, the amount of prep they put into making great courses is unlike any other online course I've seen.

5. https://codecombat.com/
This site is so much fun!
Especially if you feel intimidated or bored by other coding sites. It's an addicting game and you can choose what language you want to learn (JavaScript, Python etc)

6. https://www.theodinproject.com/
Similar to freeCodeCamp and has tracks in JavaScript, Ruby, HTML + CSS, node, etc. The courses have a good roadmap that takes you step by step and build up your knowledge.

7. https://frontendmasters.com/
For frontend development. These workshops are special. One of my favorite things about them are the live questions that teachers answer throughout the workshops. If you join a live workshop you can interact with your teacher, which is pretty awesome.

8. Colt Steele's Web Dev Bootcamp course.
For so many people, this teacher inspired them to get into coding and left them with the belief that they could do it. Colt's courses are magical. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

I specifically left this list as short as possible because I don't think it's helpful to be bombarded with a list of 101 resources. That can be overwhelming. Lastly, I hold group coding sessions where we tackle coding problems every Sunday in @CodeBookClub!
