Learning Resources

Here is a list of resources that I have found useful in learning about coding and Software Engineering.

Online lectures

I wanted to see what it would be like to attend Computer Science lectures at a University. Fortunately Harvard University provide their 'CS50 Introduction to Computer Science' module completely free of charge so I worked my way throught that.

Here is the link the course: Harvard Univeristy - CS50’s Introduction to Computer Science

They also provide some more follow up courses such as this one: Harvard University - Introduction to databases with SQL. I haven't done this one yet, but my plans are to do it soon.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript

I continued my coding learning expereince by taking some online courses in HTML and CSS. Then I moved onto JavaScript. The main course I used was this one from Udemy; The Complete 2023 Web Development Bootcamp

This course covered the Bootstrap framework but I also found the Bootstrap home page an invaluable guide too.

Python

This is the main programming language I have been learning. Here is the course I used: 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2023

Java

This is one of the things I am learning now. I'll add details here soon!

GitHub

Whilst I initially found Git a bit tricky, I can see the benefit of storing my code on a remote server somewhere, so I got to grips with Git and GitHub.

More sources of inspiration!

There is a perception that coding is just for boys and men, but sites like the one below have made me realise that this is not the case!
