GIRLS CODE TOO
Next week I will be starting my coding courses with Tech Talent South, a female founded technical education company. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been this excited.
I am registered to take the JavaScript App Development course here in Dallas! Fun fact: You can find these courses near you. By registering through THIS LINK you wills save 15% off the course of your choice.
If you’re looking to dabble into coding but want a free start I’ve included other great options below:
Code Academy
The perfect place for aspiring coders to start learning. Interactive projects and quizzes let you get the hands-on experience you need to really grasp the concepts you’re being taught. There are separate courses for each topic: you might start out with Make a Website or Learn HTML & CSS, and progress to JavaScript, SQL, and more. Codecademy also provides forums for discussion, programming language glossaries, and blog posts and articles to help you as you learn.No previous experience is required to learn with Upskill, a free bootcamp which takes you from beginner to advanced. A series of video episodes leads you through a variety of portfolio projects, with a laid-back, conversational style. The main focus is on full-stack web development, so you’ll learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Git, Bootstrap, and more along the way.
Khan Academy is another large education platform that has content on subjects from math to music--including, of course, programming. Start with beginner courses like Intro to JS or Intro to HTML/CSS, then move to the advanced levels once you feel ready. As you learn, you’ll encounter in-browser challenges that require hands-on application of what you’re learning.
Whether you already have some knowledge under your belt or have never typed a line of code before, start by exploring your options!
