The Odin Project

How it works. This is the website we wish we had when we were learning on our own. We scour the internet looking for only the best resources to supplement your learning and present them in a logical order.
Pricing:
- Open Source
You should check out theodinproject.com. It's a completely free curriculum to teach you to be a full stack web developer. Even if you don't end up sticking with that the whole way, it does a really good job of going through the setup of the tools you need to become a developer, such as the IDE where you actually write the code. Udemy courses are also good, but do cost money. However, they have periodic sales where you can get a course with 50 hours of video for 12.99 or close to that. I've been doing the odin project for over a year now and also about 170 hours of Udemy courses to supplement things. There are a lot of different ways you can go. The odin project is set up to take someone from complete zero to workplace ready. It's very project based, so you will know that you have actually learned the material functionally. You can follow tons of videos and still not be able to code. Projects are the real test. There is also a lot of support on their discord community.

Codecademy

Learn the technical skills you need for the job you want. As leaders in online education and learning to code, we’ve taught over 45 million people using a tested curriculum and an interactive learning environment.

One thing that might be helpful is the "learn how to code" course at codecademy.com which should be able to be done for free. I haven't done it myself (I knew coding before codecademy existed), but their courses have a decent reputation, and this one is to teach concepts and terminology without going into the specifics of any programming language. You probably still won't be able to code when you finish it, but it should leave you in a better position to be able to understand and follow other beginner tutorials.
