Services

Services can be a little more costly, but are also probably the best way to get started, since they are more hands-on.

Udacity Nanodegreeses

The reason why I’d put Udacity here is because their Nanodegrees are not only a collection of courses - they come with human graded assignments, a community, office hours and more. Nanodegrees usually start at a few $100 per term, but can get very costly.

Reading Material

  • Dev.to - The Dev.to community publishes a big amount of blog posts everyday.
  • Packt Books - The packt catalogue is not only affordable, but includes many worthwile books, written by professionals.
