Best Websites to learn JavaScript for beginners
Here is my curated list of six websites to learn JavaScript online for FREE. It includes interactive websites, official resource, good books, and other resources.
1. Codecademy
In one word, this is a good website to learn many technologies online but probably the best website to learn JavaScript online.
Even though currently CodeAcademy offers Java, Git, UNIX command line and several other courses, it made its name by an interactive JavaScript course to learn online at your own pace.
You can gauge the popularity of this course by looking at the number of students enrolled, currently 5M+, which is the very high number for any online FREE course.
2. Udemy
One of the best place for online learning. you will get online courses in all the latest technology and programming language like Java, Spring, Data Structure and Algorithms, Selenium, REST, etc. It provides both free and paid resources.
3. Coursera
This is another awesome website to learn online. It’ founded by Stanford professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller and it offers courses, specializations, and online degrees.
The best part of Coursera is that it offers online courses from Universities like Stanford, University of London, University of Michigan, Colorado, Imperial College of London and many more.
It provides both free and paid online courses and specialization. Some of my favorite free programming courses from Coursera are:
- Programming Foundations with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
- HTML, CSS, and Javascript for Web Developers.
- Interactivity with JavaScript.
Coursera also provides you Certification, which you can showcase in your Linkedin profile, but you need to pay for it.
4. Pluralsight
One of the best website to learn any technology, skills like Web Development, Mobile Development and Programming language like Java, Web development framework like Angular, React, Spring Framework, Hibernate, etc.
It’s also now acquired CodeSchool which earlier allows you to learn web technologies by doing it. I use this website to learn a lot of cool stuff in no time.
5. freecodecamp.org
This is one of the most awesome community websites which will help you to learn to code for free, build real-world projects and get a job as a developer.
It has a massive collection of interactive tutorials and exercises to learn JavaScript, Data Structure and Algorithms, Frontend Development and so on.
Founded by Quincy Larson, this is a really awesome place to start your coding journey. They even have a big Facebook group (freecodecampearth) where you can ask questions and share your learning experience and their Medium publication freeCodeCamp is the biggest Medium publication for Programming articles.
