   Best Place to Learn Coding for Free

   I've been using SoloLearn for nearly 2 years, every single day, and it's almost replaced facebook for me. I mean, it's an awesome place, with awesome people. Great place to learn the basics of coding, and practice writing codes, and have a great time.

   👍 Pros:    Friendly and safe community|Well designed courses and challenges|Great gamification

   👎 Cons:    A few connection issues when servers are overloaded.

• Best way to learn JS, Node.JS SQL and Python for "free"?

  You could stick with freeCodeCamp or use SoloLearn. It's a duolingo style app that teaches programming in small exercises instead of full projects. Source: 10 months ago

• Is 45 credits in one term difficult to complete? Should I push my start date and study more before beginning the term?

If you know Java, you can learn Python on the fly. Then keep track of your intended schedule (once you've discussed the order you'll attempt classes with your Mentor; I've just copied your list verbatim) with due dates, as below.

• Programmer in game development. Advice?

  Watch this video by Game Maker's toolkit to understand Unity, after that, learn C# using SoloLearn, it's a Duolingo style (mobile/web)app that teaches programming languages. When you finish both, start doing your own projects and when you don't know something look for documentation, if you don't find any, then search on google, if you still don't find how to do what you want, then you ask on Reddit and StackOverflow.
