    I'm currently learning React and the problem I always have when learning something new but especially anything related to code is the endless amount of resources the web has, it's a blessing and a curse as it's hard to pick a resource and go along with it. Where would you recommend a beginner to start?

    @dilan_lacin W3Schools is the old reliable, remember using that when I was a kid, still so good

    Code academy, Glitch.com or even following along with other developers on Twitch. I'm currently working to improve my own skills as a developer and working my way through the front end development exambook as needed β€” trying to work through one question a day. https://www.techinterviewhandboo...

    @erinmikail Thats interesting, I haven't thought about using Twitch! Any streamers you recommend?

    @aaronoleary I'm a big fan of Brian Douglas of Open Sauced https://twitter.com/bdougieyo https://opensauced.pizza (his discord community is great too for learning as well!)

    @erinmikail Thanks a bunch Erin, I'll check Brian out!

    Highly recommend you to get Stephen Grider's course on Udemy. https://www.udemy.com/course/rea... Of course when it's on sale. He explains really simple, logical and easy to understand. I'm not an English native and didn't do CS degree ever but could completely understand him. And now working on my own react project. I appreciate him so much.

    My favorite resource is my pillow, in which I scream every day while on my learning path.

    I'd say start from freecodecamp, try Codecademy as well. And most importantly, start projects and bump into real problems (only way to really learn).

    @stelian_dobrescu LMAO I feel that! Your Airtable is great, exactly what I needed!

    Viewing very popular github repos like nextjs and reading the example project code. Then building your own website as a resume or blog. Trying out the latest technologies on it. Google along the way.

    YouTube is the best place to learn coding.

    Try "Utility Learning" which simply means only learn things which you need. The steps are fairly simple: Start building front end of your app with react. When stuck, go to Google and try to find the answer. If you don't even know how to start, you can Google it too. If you still wants to learn some basics with a course, try traversy media YouTube channel. These guys are amazing.

    I am self taught developer, Udacity has some of the best resources on the web for learning. That is how I got started, but at the end of the day -- actually building stuff is 80% of the learning. If you want to learn back-end development and python, also take a look at my Channel where I tech Python Programming: https://www.youtube.com/c/SkoloO...

    There's so many great resources but two of my faviorate are: 0. REFACTORING - All developers must read and re-read Refactoring by Martin Fowler - https://www.amazon.com/Refactori... and 1. RAILS FOR ZOMBIES - The best video series on programming ever made was Rails for Zombies. It's a bit ancient now, but still amazing for being so terribly funny and teaching so much, in such a short video course. https://www.pluralsight.com/cour...

    Hi @aaronoleary! Great question, I think the best way is Youtube, is a cool way to understand and see the different technologies and after deciding what you like you can join Code Academy and pick the course that fits you best.
