Want to learn javascript and backend stuff like server/databases. (For web apps and such.)
Any course recommendations for this? I want to create a few web apps like zillow/airbnb such and learn about databases and server stuff. I have not done javascript, just mostly html/css. This is one course I brought; https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-javascript-full-stack-from-scratch/
Is this enough? Are there better ones with other technologies involved?
I was looking at this as well ;https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
Any advice? I know some knowledge about coding with c# and done my degree but superbly we never touched on javascript.

Do the course Zero to Mastery by Andrei Neagoie on udemy. I think this is the best way to get your feet wet.

I'm currently in the middle of The Complete Web Developer Zero to Mastery
The class features learning the full stack with JavaScript. No complaints so far, great content.

That’s what I was about to say.
Also, Andrei Neagoie’s course on Udemy has a great discord community. It’s helped me more than stack overflow or reddit. I don’t think it’s right for me to give out the name since it’s a paid course, but it’s only $14 right now.

Have a look at Udemy. Especially the Zero to Mastery course , though there are other good ones as well. My partner who had very little prior coding experience, managed to kick off her programming career with this course.

Of course it can, TOP doesn't hold the golden ticket to full stack success. JS is JS regardless if you have had to read about it or watch a video on it.
Give these a try;

Not free, but close to it. I learned JavaScript basics through this front-end web dev course:
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
It’s usually on sale for about $10 so just check later if it isn’t on sale now.
What I like about the course is that the JavaScript is immediately contextualized into a project so it’s great for a beginner because you get an obvious payoff. Though, there is a lot of JavaScript that isn’t taught in this course so you’ll need other resources to have the language fully outlined for you. I recommend eventually getting used to reading things like MDN Web Docs and w3schools as soon as you can so that you can 1) get used to the jargon 2) get used to learning concepts and tools that don’t have easy to understand YouTube videos—many powerful tools don’t have flashy YouTube videos because they are built for non-beginners.
I will say though that something that has helped me learn at a steady pace is to “never bite off more than I can chew”. If I’m feeling overwhelmed by a concept, problem, etc. I break it down into smaller pieces and figure out those smaller pieces. I ask the question “What DO I know about this?” then “What don’t I know about this?” then I take the time to 1) become knowledgeable about the unknowns and 2) take the time to fit the unknowns (now known) with the knowns.
I really hope this helps you. You can reach out here or DM me if you ever have a question.

Oh ok, I also bought Colt's course but I couldn't stand his voice, I ended up on Section 13: Javascript Basics: Arrays. Please note, I already knew HTML/CSS/JS when I went in, I just needed a bit of reinforcement on the front end.
After being annoyed by Colt's voice I bought Andrei Neagoie's, The Complete Web Developer in 2020: Zero to Mastery. To be honest I loved it, I felt like he touched on really important aspects, plus there's a big Discord community dedicated for this course that the creator made, where you can ask or meet people that are the same path as you.
But if you can stand Colt's voice I felt like it was a solid course. I recommend you look into Colt's course to see if they have a community where you can ask or meet other developers. Overall I feel like you're on the right path by following his course.
Is there anything specific you need help with?

I did Zero to Mastery Web Dev in 2020 on Udemy and now i'm learning new technology on my own. I highly recommend it.
ZTM also goes over the history of why things are the way they are. Which is very cool.

I decided to start learning HTML, CSS and JS two weeks ago - this is my first CSS project. My next challenge is to start building macros and then a module and then a world. Foundry is a great way to learn these awesome dev skills. The best and most up-to-date course I came across was: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery - I purchased the course for like $10 - Udemy always run awesome specials during the week.... (Ps. I am not affiliated with Udemy and this was not a way to punt the course, just sharing in case others want to learn :)

Hi there! I cannot recommend this webdev course enough, it takes you from the basics to being able to create your own webapp and you have a few projects in your portfolio at the end of it. I got hired as a trainee software developer in less than 5 months with no previous experience, thanks to this course. I was working in hopsitality before and changing my career was the best think I ever did! Good luck!

I can't speak to the difficulty of the self training process for getting a dev job (I'm pairing my independent efforts with formal education and my pace is slow & steady for the time being), but I found Andrei Neagoie's The Complete Web Developer course to be extremely helpful and thorough. I've also heard good things about the Udemy material from Colt Steele and Jose Portilla.

I agree with the other poser, you should do some coding on your own, if your thinking web dev Udemy has many available and they are having one of their many sales on right now.
If you cant handle a 30 hour udemy course , then you might not want to go for a bootcamp that will cost you a lot and throw things at you full speed expecting you to absorb them.
Below is one of many, you can sample his voice and intro for free. The smu webdev bootcamp seems to have a similar curriculum, html,css

Não sei quanto ao curso de desenvolvimento web, mas o curso do Abdul Bari parece ser excelente, eu assisti muitos vídeos dele quando tava cursando. Esse livro (CLRS) também é ótimo.
Em relação às disciplinas difíceis, tipo cálculo, álgebra linear e matemática discreta (são as que vejo bastante queixa sobre), é uma questão de prática, pode ver que todas elas te forçam a pensar de forma abstrata, e isso ajuda muito a escrever e entender um bom código.
Me parece que você tá num caminho muito bom, vale a pena seguir nessa trilha de algoritmos, e junto com isso ir desenvolvendo projetinhos web, pode ser seguindo tutorial mesmo, pega, faz, depois adiciona um requisito que o tutorial não cobriu, bate a cabeça pra implementar que no processo você vai ser obrigado a aprender, vai entender vários padrões de projeto e entender porque eles existem... e é meio que nessa linha.
Eu posso recomendar esses cursos, pq comprei eles há alguns bons anos, fiz de cabo a rabo e cobrem bastante coisa: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-junior-to-senior-web-developer-roadmap/
Finalmente, sobre estágio, facilitaria você ter um ou outro projeto bem feito pra conseguir se apresentar bem. Ainda assim, tentar expandir sua rede de contatos via linkedin pode ajudar muito, principalmente pra te render uma indicação, já que isso normalmente ajuda a passar reto na filtragem "geral" de estagiários (ao invés da específica pra cada posição).

Make a list of what you want out of life, if you've done control flow yet in one of your classes, draw out your goals like "Land a job as a software engineer" or "find the girl/guy of my dreams" or "find a better job" or "become a pilot" etc. Once you have that all down in their own separate boxes(preferably on a whiteboard) you begin drawing the steps to get to those goals.
Join a discord dev group and get a study buddy:

Get a course on Udemy:
I highly recommend Andrei as a teacher (Web Development Course) (he also has a discord group for all of his courses and there are 1000's of people there)
Plan out how you are going to get there and execute.

Take care!

I started off with Brad Traversy's Crash Course series on Youtube for HTML, CSS, and then JS. They're all a couple of years old now, but still good for beginners. And then snag yourself Eloquent Javascript for free online (I've got the print edition, but I've been seeing links all over this sub that the author is giving it away from free on his website or something).
Then check out Andrei Neagoie on Udemy. He's got a bunch of series that are really good. I'm working through the Web Dev zero to mastery right now, and it looks like pretty good. He goes very in-depth on web development history and has a great learning curve, in my opinion.
From there, you'll be introduced to the wonderful, wonderful world of Javascript frameworks, which make coding JS much easier and a complete breeze, so long as you're ready to have your own mental fortitude challenged upon discovery of strange new patterns of code design and file architecture that more resemble completely different programming languages than a simple "framework" for writing JS.

Python is currently one of the most popular languages, both for beginners (it's easy to understand) and in the industry (machine learning and data science is done mostly in Python)
HTML/CSS/JavaScript are basic for website making.
Because first language doesn't really matter and general programming concepts are more important, I would pick a good Web Development course. I've researched the top courses for this, and so far the best ones IMO are:
- (paid) The Complete Web Developer: Zero To Mastery: a complete beginners course, focused on learning current industry tools and getting hired. Doesn't go in depth of mastering every single concept, but instead really teaches you how to find solutions online, googling and best resources - which is a very important skill. Has an active learning community of 10,000's of students
- (free) The Odin Project: very similar to the above, from what I've heard. An open-source guided path to becoming a full-stack web developer.
Also, make sure to check out this subreddit's FAQ, it's seriously great and answers your questions extensively.

If you want to build web applications (like Instagram). You’ll first want to learn HTML, then CSS and finally JavaScript. A simple definition of each: HTML is what a website is, CSS controls how it looks and JavaScript controls what it does. At a later point you might want to look into front end frameworks like Reactjs, Vue and angular. These are really powerful frameworks for creating great user interfaces (they Are all based on JavaScript so make sure to spend a lot of time learning about it).
You then might want to look into the back end using NodeJS (python etc) which will allow you to build dynamic web applications and create databases. The reason I suggest NodeJS is because like react, it is also based on JavaScript and so there will be less to learn. Some recent and well received courses include:
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-development-bootcamp/
And
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
However, these courses will not teach you everything. So you will need to read around but they will provide a very solid foundation.
Hope this helps.

Apologies for the late reply, time zones lol.
There's a shit ton of resources online so you can get by without spending a cent. Depends on what programming you'd like to do though. Probably the easiest to find a job in is in web development, you can go into desktop or game development if you wish but it'd be harder to find entry level work for that.
For web development, Freecodecamp or The Odin Project are two of the best resources.
But I'd strongly recommend getting a Udemy course. They're very cheap and take you step by step. This is the one I took years ago, though it's been updated since then.
There's also this free introductory computer sceinece course offered by Harvard.
You could find a bootcamp in your city but not all of them are great, and they're expensive.
Lastly, join /r/learnprogramming and /r/webdev. You can ask questions, learn from others asking questions, stay up to date on the industry and, most importantly, motivate yourself. There's always people posting success stories coming from similar situations as us so that's always very motivating.
Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at all!

Of course, I don't want to learn to code or even make major architecture decisions, that's the devs role. But I do want a more fundamental understanding of pricniples and considerations. Would these make sense?

Si, hacer las páginas web (Front-end), encargarte de servidores y su consexión bases de datos (Back-end), o todo (Full-Stack).
Te pasteo parte de un comentario pasado en que ya conté lo que hice:
FRONT END 1) HTML - Técnicamente no es un lenguaje de programación sino de marcado. Es muy sencillo y lo podes aprender en un par de tardes. Es el "esqueleto" de la página web, y se usa para armar su estructura.
2) CSS - Un lenguaje que se encarga de dar estilo a la página web. Si HTML es el esqueleto, CSS sería la piel de la página. Si bien tiene un millón de estilos, se rige mediante reglas de selección muy simples. En un par de días lo podes aprender, aunque van a pasar un par de meses hasta que le caches la mano al posicionamiento. OPCIONAL: Aprender a manejar una libreria tipo bootstrap o materialize.
3) Javascript. El primer lenguaje de programación propiamente dicho de esta lista. Cuando un navegador abre una página web, crea un Document Object Model (DOM), que representa el documento. Javascript permite manipular este DOM después de la carga inicial de la página, pudiendo modificar lo que se muestra en base a las acciones del usuario. Sería como los musculos, o el sistema nervioso de la página. Javascript es un lenguaje sencillo, pero a veces caótico. En una semana podes aprender lo básico, pero conlleva bastante práctica llegar a un nivel en que te sientas comfortable.
¿4?) Cuando te sientas suficientemente cómodo con vainilla Javascript, podes elegir un framework, como por ejemplo React, Angular o Vue.
BACK END. Acá el camino es mucho menos lineal. Recomiendo Node.js, ya que para estas alturas deberías estar familiarizado con Javascript. También estaría bueno que aprendas a trabajar con base de datos. Recomiendo para empezar base de datos relacionales, con algún manager como por ejemplo PosgreSQL.
El curso que más me sirvió es este, aunque se va demasiado rápido a React; descuida un poco el vainilla javascript: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
Ya un poco más avanzado, este es un buen curso de react: https://www.udemy.com/course/modern-react-front-to-back/
Y este es de lo mejorcito que vi de back: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-nodejs-developer-course-2/
Si no queres/podes pagarlos, mandame un privado que te puedo ayudar a localizar aunque sea el primero.

Those were the 3 courses I took (I pasted them backwards on accident, so the bottom one is what I started with). Most of his courses from his website are on udemy but there are some that you'd need to sign up for his site directly to get (like he has a new Next.js course that isn't on udemy but they aren't totally necessary imo). I highly recommend these for sure

Hi thanks. From freecodecamp this seems better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMT54MPz9oE since it is much shorter and the other course is 11 hours long. WHy does The Complete Web Developer in 2020: Zero to Mastery on Udemy not cover tables etc (not for layout but like

I don't really know much about App Academy. Odin Project is good because it's gives you a track to follow.
Colt Steele's Web Development bootcamp is also really good, it's fairly fun and digestible. Andrei Neagoie's Web Developer Bootcamp is like Colt's, but was released this year so it's more up to date. Colt's is definitely still worth doing though, the fundamentals are the same. I also really liked Watch and Code - Gordon Zhu takes a totally different approach to teaching than other courses.
The truth is that there are just so many good resources out there, and there's a lot to learn. The best courses are going to be the ones that you finish, where you feel like you learned the material. If something doesn't feel like it's working for you, find a new resource.

Hello, I was looking at getting a course on Udemy to help teach web development. I currently have three courses that I think look solid. However, after doing some research, I am getting mixed information on whether or not the course from Dr. Angela Yu (The complete 2022 Web Development Bootcamp) and even Andrei Neagoi (The Complete Web Developer in 2022: Zero to Mastery) are slightly outdated. I know things are ever-changing and not everything is going to be 100% up to date, however, I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to if these courses would hold up for the most part if I or someone else were to start them now? I was also looking at a course that apparently came out recently from Maximilian Schwarzmüller and Manuel Lorenz (100 Days of Code - Web Development Bootcamp [2022]) which looks very interesting. From your experience or from looking at the course descriptions, could you please give me your opinion or if you want you can even rank the courses. Any information would be very helpful, thank you very much.

Don't you ever go back to college for a CS degree because:
1) They don't teach you what you'll be doing on the job. All they teach is just a bunch of theory and outdated stuff. things change fast in tech that colleges can't keep up.
2) it's expensive. Don't get yourself in unnecessary debt.
You should try to teach yourself how to code. There are many cheap coding courses on udemy and free ones on YouTube that you'll be able to teach yourself enough to get your first job in 3-6 months ( this should pay 50-60k. After you get 1 year of experience, you should be able to get a job that pays much more).
Look up " how to become a web developer" videos on YouTube. this should give you a clear picture of what you should know.
Either of these courses is a great way to start:
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/
You, after 3-6 months of self-teaching, and a new college graduate will be getting the same training and mentoring on your first jobs any way so waste 4 years of your life
Edit: you'll never use any maths on the job as a web developer. So don't worry.
Sorry if my English not understandable.

Best Courses for a beginner
I have been checking around and have gotten some good suggestions in regards to what I should look into. To give some context, my main goal is to become proficient in web development and all the skills I will need to grow. I want to be able to run a Fantasy Football site and dipped my toes into it last fall, but hit a wall and didn't know where to turn. Obviously need to learn Java, also want to become good with machine learning as that can an asset in this field. Basically where do I start?

Colt Steele's Web Development Bootcamp is highly recommended around reddit which covers the bare basics of everything from html, css, bootstrap and javascript, node etc
Academind's CSS - The Complete Guide is great and goes into a great amount of depth focusing on CSS only, from basic to advanced.
Jonas Schmedtmann's Advanced CSS & Sass course covers some advanced, new features of CSS and assumes your already have a basic understanding, also introduces you to Sass for the next phase of your training.
Andrei Neagoie's the complete web developer in 2020 again covers a lot of the stuff Colt Steele does in his own style, its always good to get a different perspective when learning.
i recommend you start with colt steeles first few modules in HTML and CSS, then stop before he moves onto anything new and begin Academinds course on CSS to get a more in depth understanding then move onto Jonas Schedtmanns advanced CSS course. Then youll be ready to start exploring Bootstrap back at Colt Steele's course. Then JS.
just my 2c - happy learning!

Overall, web dev is quite popular amongst people who switch into the field - it's what all the bootcamps are teaching, and I feel like it's the easiest way for a beginning to pick up on coding. However, I definitely agree with the other responses to look at the job listings around you to see what's in demand. Generally, people are able to land remote jobs when they have some experience, but some people are also able to get freelance jobs doing web dev (although I don't know how hard/easy this is for a beginner)
I'm currently using: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/ which is $10.99 while Udemy courses are on sale. Other ppl in this subreddit also really like this course: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/ , it's more popular and is also only $13.99. I think both would be a cheap way for you to test out if you like web dev, and also teach you some cool things. I think these courses are more practical than any community college course (I've looked into my community college syllabus) - the technologies they use are more up to date, you gain more practical skills out of it, and it's much cheaper.
Also, if you do decide to take some courses and decide that web development is for you, I'd recommend using edx.org for free classes from universities to sharpen your CS fundamentals (which will be needed for interviews, unless you're only going to work as a UI/UX designer/dev). I've taken a portion of Harvard's CS50x, and a lot of ppl in this subreddit recommend it too. But it IS challenging! So don't give up, a lot of other ppl have taken it and they have their own subreddit as well if you need help (they also provide a free certificate if you complete the course, through their CS50x site I think). I've also taken MIT 6.00.1x Intro to Computational Thinking as well, which uses python to teach you on coding fundamentals (writing code, learning how the computer interprets it, which helps you debug your code later on). I actually began learning with this course, which truly did help me think "computationally" bc it kinda taught me how the machine was interpreting my code. But this course may also be challenging, and is focused on harder concepts that might discourage a total beginner. You learn important concepts like the big O complexity, but can't really apply to a project yet. That's why I recommend starting with web dev stuff, so you're able to visualize your code. But then again, if you find that you're not understanding why things are happening, why code is compiling in such a way - then maybe do take a look at the MIT course?
On accreditation, based on my research, is that it isn't that important - although you would have a MUCH easier time finding a job coming from a top university with a CS degree, but it's not required as long as you can show that you can do the work (having an impressive portfolio/github to show off your projects), the udemy courses usually include a few projs for you to do, as well as Freecodecamp. After learning the basics, a lot of people start making their own projects(make something that excites you or is useful and makes you want to keep coding it!). I have my own reasons for not going to a bootcamp($$) but I also have friends in the industry (factor networking into your job search and see if you can get advice/referrals from friends when you're ready to recruit), but do your own research and see if it makes sense to go for a college degree/bootcamp. It also depends on your learning style: can you focus studying/coding for 8+hrs a day on your own(if you're not currently working)? Or maybe find a program to study at night after work? Information on this stuff is free/cheap and ubiquitous, so I wouldn't invest too much in acquiring information. But if you don't have a network of people to reach out to, then maybe consider a 4-year degree or bootcamp. But please do your research, only you understand your circumstances the best, so you can make the best decision for you! :)

Aaah fuck, if only your comment was on Cyber Week, I would've saved a lot of money. I'd spent upwards of 80.87 United States Dollar for like 10~ courses and 4 of them are for Full-Stack Web Development (The Web Developer Bootcamp by Colt Steele, The Complete Web Developer in 2020: Zero to Mastery by Andrei Neagoie,The Complete 2020 Web Development Bootcamp by Angela Yu,The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0 by Rob Percival, Codestars by Rob Percival) because despite going through a Full-Stack Web Development program, I feel my front-end is kinda shitty.
At least I bought some which are specific for JavaScript since the bootcamp I go through just teaches the surface level and these courses would help me supplement my understanding for JavaScript (The New Modern Javascript Bootcamp (2020) by Colt Steele, Stephen Grider, The Complete JavaScript Course 2020: Build Real Projects! by Jonas Schmedtmann, The Modern JavaScript Bootcamp by Andrew Mead, The Complete React Developer Course (w/ Hooks and Redux) by Andrew Mead, The Complete Node.js Developer Course (3rd Edition) by Andrew Mead).
