Are you a student or an intermediate-level coder who is looking for free resources or communities to learn code? However, it doesn’t matter whether you are a student, an intermediate, or an expert coder. Everybody in the technical industry must keep polishing their skills as you can find a new set of software, programming languages, and technicalities regularly.

Further, not everybody has a budget to learn to code. So, then what? Must you quit coding? No, there is no way you should quit the path to your passion, hobby, or success.

I kind of digged into these resources that I will talk about below when I learnt coding – and I am sure you will too.

You do not need to worry about having a budget anymore as there are thousands of resources and communities over the Internet, that provide coding courses and even certifications for free.

Moreover, you are not the only one who doesn’t have a budget to take another extra class to learn code, there are many, and I was the one too. And when you go through the platforms like Reddit and Quora, you can find many people who want to apply for free courses. How do I know about this? Well, thanks to these platforms I got lots of information about free coding resources. You can also go through this post to gather some piece of crucial information –

Another well-known resource is Coursera which allows people to enroll in the certified coding courses for free and for cheap as well. If you want a certificate after learning, Coursera is one of the best. And you can believe this one as I enrolled in one course for free and got certified as well. See for yourself –

YouTube is another resource to get free courses and many professionals post their works and tutorials on YouTube for people to learn for free.

Further, you can find various communities or people on Twitter who teach and upload their handwritten notes on Twitter. One of them is Chris Heilmann, who is a German coder, who posts tips and guidelines for new coders and developers on Twitter, you can find him @ codepo8

However, practice is the key to success. You can find hundreds of resources and communities that can teach you coding for free.

However, the entire thing depends on you and your learning attitude, how consistent and determined you are to learn code, if you don’t code every day, there is no use in getting free or even paid courses.

W3Schools and Codeacademy are other websites that provide free courses to learners and the notes of w3schools are superb as I tried them myself. If you do not want to take the course, there are well-written digital notes with examples in depth, uploaded on the site of w3schools, which is extremely helpful.

You can find various effective suggestions along with suggestions for different ways of learning. You can see here, how an experienced coder is advising to learn HTML, CSS, and JS as it is the road to being a Web-developer –
