Resources
WIP - just attempting to catalogue useful coding resources from beginner to advanced for my and others use.
LEARNING THE BASICS #
mimo #
https://getmimo.com/
Duolingo style basic phone app for learning code.
Codecademy #
https://www.codecademy.com/
I did a few hours of the intro stuff years back and it was clean and pleasant for basic markup and code learning.
Udemy #
https://www.udemy.com/
Udemy is a paid online education option. I've not used it, but heard OK things. More in-depth stuff to be found here.
YouTube (various) #
There's just so much good stuff on youtube, but it can be hard to find and depend on what you're doing. I'd suggest looking for things on a per topic basis, and trying a few different videos to see what you like. Always follow along with a code-editor of your own so you can pause + test things.
Books (various) #
Again, just soo many available. I've only personally dabbled with the O'Reilly books (Javascript: The Good Parts). Shop around.
Khan Academy #
https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming
Lot's of content, well respected. Free? Yeah I think free.
Just DIY until you get stuck and then google #
Nothing beats just opening a code editor (I use VSCode + Sublime Text 3), and trying to build your own site. Save your code in commits to Github/others with Git. Make it look nice, fill it with content in a topic and don't be embarassed. Then try and host it somewhere: GitHub Pages, AWS S3, Digital Ocean, whatever. Improve the deployment flow, make it easy to push new content to. Automate things. Put a CDN in front of it, host it on a custom domain name you own. Learn as you go.

The things I use and find useful. If I need them frequently perhaps you might too. I'm going to organise things here properly soon.
