I am into frontend development and I try to find genuine learning resource for updating myself with changing skill set in the market. So this is a discussion topic for those who are trying to find resources which are worth checking out for frontend and backend skills.
I have joined Teamtreehouse in past. And they have moved to their own cloud IDE and their scope limits to Mac. Their Content is not meant for anything serious usage. It just doesn't feel satisfying doing their trails.
Lynda seems to be not updating the content for new frameworks or even between the new updates in frameworks. After Linkedin acquisition they too moved to cloud IDE on some courses.
Pluarlsight is one that I tried for 2 month trial available with Microsoft last December. It has older content and no updates on frontend and backend topics.
Wes Bos and Azat's courses are literally less focused on fundamentals and also too much commentary and less code.
Udemy has lot of spam content mostly stolen videos and piracy content being resold by some authors. Skillshare also tackles really less quality content.
What I have not tried so far -
- Safari Online Oreilly courses
- Frontend Masters
- PacktPub Courses
- TutsPlus Envato
- SpringBoard
Any place you refer for courses and training?
I learn in layers:
1 . I don't know any good ones (front-end is not my focus), but have you tried books? They are the best resource type for fundamentals. There are some online (like eloquentjavascript), and most of them are in digital format too.
2 . For frameworks, for me at least, their official documentation is enough, once you know the concepts is just a matter of finding the right function and its parameters to do your work.
3 . Youtube has tens of free yearly conferences, including ~5 JS Confs, CSS Confs, hardware, even one for programming languages designs. This is where you find specific examples, solution to real dev problems and how the theory meets the practice.
Other similar websites (do not know if they have something front-end specific):
