Question

Programming

I started with different books, courses, searched for information badly, got a job and soon quit my job after a couple of days. And knowledge of html, css, js, jquery, php, c++, yii2, codeigniter, photoshop, less.
While I was engaged in another hobby that was interesting for me, but still I need money and I decided to get settled again and moderate my ardor. I have never studied in Western courses like code school and others, for example, any list on Habré of such companies.
I don't have much experience in development. But as far as I saw all these courses (however, like everything else, I guess) are aimed at the very basics. Could you single out which ones are worth seeing and what you can learn from them? (again, it’s some kind of development, and not just purely syntax of the language with children’s examples)
PS What is the actual question, again, I repeat, there is little development experience and the logical answer would be: "just develop something and ask on the forum as problems arise." But still I think, maybe I'll lose something and there are some interesting courses.

Answer 1

HTML academy you should know. The best that can be in layout. However, layout is needed only by the layout designer.
You can look here , The Odin project. This is just a list of what to learn if someone does not have an understanding of where to go.
If about the syntax, but with non-childish examples, then competitive sites like codewars .
Mostly books, documentation. You should already know what to tighten.
Here is an awesome Command line crash course . If you have never worked with the command line, you will understand navigation in a couple of hours.
I really like udacity. In each course, you watch how the teacher makes a mini-project on a given topic. Each course consists of a video of 1-2 minutes, very convenient: you are always concentrated, you can break away at any moment, you can skip the video if everything is clear from it. And they give small tests or assignments to consolidate. Water, if any, is only in the intro; as concentrated as possible, concisely, clearly, clearly and understandably. Just what you need to get into the right topic and stop pissing it off on your own.

Answer 2

No courses will be given real experience. You may learn how to create a spherical guestbook model in a vacuum, but all courses are designed to bypass the standard sets of "rakes" that you are likely to encounter in real work. So yes, "just develop something and ask on the forum as problems arise" is one of the best options. It’s even cooler to find a curator / mentor / team leader so as not to twitch in different directions on the advice from the forums.

Answer 3

I really like the courses Hexlet 's courses . Brains are put in the right place.

Answer 4

My main language is PHP, but I watched a Java course from Vyacheslav Kovalevsky. Took out much more OOP knowledge than from the PHP OOP course on the same Hexlet. My opinion - the most important thing in the service is the teacher of the course. Therefore, if there are free courses on Youtube from a good teacher, then you can use them and donate coffee to the author.
