Learning Skills Online
- Udemy
-
A usefull site for a wide range of subject areas including
HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#. However it costs between £70-£150
per course. The courses have customer reviews and there
are over 32,000 courses now. Visual Paradigm is using CodeCademy for
its online courses which are free. I have not tried these.
- CodeCademy
-
There are only a few courses available, but they are free and
they are interactive. They include HTML, CSS, JavaScript and
jQuery. TI have tried them, and they are of middling quality.
- SitePoint Premium
-
They focus on Web Development, and I have tried them and the
quality of the courses is high although they are not interactive.
The cost is reasonable at $9/month, although you have to sign
up for one year. The main SitePoint website has many good articles,
and they publish excellent books on web development. The range of
courses is limited to HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and ASP.NET
- ASP.NET
-
This is an excellent free site for any of the Microsoft based
technologies including MVC and Web Forms. They have tutorials
and videos on a range of topics but those do not include non
microsoft langauges such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
