Internet has been humanity’s companion for a long time now, providing support on different facets of life. It’s been the source of information and knowledge, expanding the scope of learning experiences. The internet platform has been serving as a medium to provide a free source of knowledge, beyond the geographical and economical constraints. Distance learning has received an outlook with the onset of online interactive courses, reducing the gap between student and tutor despite being distant. Universities and various educational institutions have realised the potential of online education and are providing a wide array of courses for students from different part of the world. Lots of websites partner with top universities & provide free course material, video lectures, and forum for interactive sessions between the students and tutors. Here are some top websites that provide quality courses online for free.
I myself have not learned coding from school or any other computer coaching institute, but I know more than 6 programming languages right now. I had no guidance. If you also have the same problem then this post is for you. Below I have given a list of websites that will help you to learn programming online.

Be regular and don’t leave learning a language in between.
Don’t think you will become a pro – game developer or sever maintainer overnight. Learning to code requires time, practice, hard-work and – logic (lots of it!!).
So, you are still reading this post and are not really scared of the last two points I have mentioned above. Here is the list which will be proven beneficiary to learn programming online.
1.The New Boston
I have personally used this website a lot and still using it!! It is one of the best website if you want to learn coding.This website is free-100%.It has tutorials for various programming languages, but it also has videos on building computers and tutorials for software like Dreamweaver and After Effects, as well as 3D-modeling software.
2.Codecademy
This website is free – 100% and they don’t just teach you or give you notes…..they let you practice programming on their editors. This website have a very nice way of teaching to code, once you sign up and choose the language you want to learn you will see that they have a whole courses made for that language.When you take up a course and start it, you will see a left-sidebar with explanation about how to code in that particular language and a small exercise that you will have to complete in the editor in the center and you can even see an output on the window located at upper-right of the screen. They will teach you to make games like rock, paper, and scissor to blackjack! The languages that they teach are -
HTML
CSS
JavaScript ( not java, don’t get confused)
PHP
Python
Ruby
APIs
You can also ask a query to the communities made on codecademy for a particular programming problem.
3.W3schools
Do you want to be the master when it comes to web development? Then you should try this one. This is the site I trust the most. However, these people do not offer interactive courses like the Codecademy do, you can still learn programming online on their website using their editor.The best part of it is that they have quizzes that you can take once you have learned a programming language to see how much you actually know. If you get a 18 right out of the 20 questions asked (without cheating!) you should give their certification exam (even IT Companies prefer people if they have a w3school certificate ). The languages that they teach are -
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
SQL
PHP
JQuery
XML
ASP.Net
AJAX
VBScript
ASP
They also have a list of references, examples and forums. This website is also free.
4.Udacity
This website is just like Codecademy BUT and this is a big one – You don’t need to read to learn, they have video tutorials from people who are – computer scientist, professors in top U.S. universities, programmers who have been on high positions in companies like Microsoft and Facebook, and even entrepreneurs who have made million from their ideas. Learn Python – Build a search engine
Into. to Salesforce App Development
Intro to Data Science
AI for Robotics
Intro. to parallel programming
Functional hardware verification
Interactive 3D graphics
Programming Languages – Make a web browser
Make HTML5 game
Huf, their list is endless, you can find it in their course catalog.
5.Coursera
Courera is one of the best sites for taking online courses. It is not restricted to any particular field or department. You can learn the best deal of fields and department here.
You are supposed to sign up there and can start searching for your related field and start learning for free. It offers lectures in five languages; English, Spanish, Chinese, Italian and French.
At the completion of each course, you will be awarded with a certificate, which will be sent to your mail, you can take the print out of your certificate and attach it with your documents.
If you find this resource list that makes you learn to code useful, then do share it with your friend, in order to help them out and make them learn awesome stuffs for free.
