ShutterstockIt’s safe to say to web development is "in" as a career choice right now. Demand for people who can turn tech-friendly ideas into actual, functioning products should only continue skyrocketing, and there are plenty of coding gigs out there can earn you a fairly comfortable living. It’s also a field in which many people can become competent, provided they put their resources in the right place.
But where to start? Well, perhaps not surprisingly, you can turn to the web. More specifically, you can give Udemy’s The Complete Web Developer Course a shot. It has 235 mostly video lectures spread out across 29 hours, all of which are designed to teach anyone how to go about building apps and websites. It’ll run you through the basics of essentials like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and MySQL, all while teaching you how to build a series of varied, responsive sites and apps of your own.
This particular class has proven immensely popular on Udemy, with nearly 230,000 students enrolled, alongside a 4.5/5 user rating after more than 25,600 reviews.
The class normally goes for $200, but from today until September 1 you can grab it for just $10. While it’s true that you can learn plenty about this topic from YouTube videos and other free tutorials, this isn’t a huge price to pay for something that’s more organized and comprehensive. And if you don’t like it, you can get a full refund, so long as you request it within 30 days.
Either way, if you’re looking to change career paths, earn some cash on the side, or just pick up a new life skill, this seems like a solid place to get going.
