Web development Bootcamp on udemy by Angela Yu. Only like $10-15 if they are having a sale but it gets a basic understanding of dev in you head.

#73I would recommend: - Pluralsight for dev-focused courses - Linux Academy for DevOps-focused courses Also, save up for certs and do some certs. Kubernetes certs (CKA, CKD) seem to be popular and difficult (which is great!), or there were some new-ish NodeJS certs. I find certs really force me to learn something and not just scratch the surface. Just a suggestion. You can use Pluralsight and LinuxAcademy without the in…
I have both and I can't count how many times I need to understand something in some detail and put on a course. I learned Jenkins from LinuxAcademy and Devops principles, went on to build our jenkins server with all the jobs for our builds/automated testing.

#74Check out LinkedIn Learning, we've got technical courses at all levels, and a bunch of other topics like creative stuff and professional skills as well. All available as part of a monthly membership that's within your $50/mo budget ($29.99/mo or $19.99/mo depending on duration). Disclaimer: I work there, creating some of the technical content.
My company provides free access and I was left entirely unimpressed.

#75Go suscribe to linkedin learning, I used to be on it before it was called that, but it's worth every bit of that price. There are basically 10 courses for everything you want to learn (until intermediate level, by which point you probably should be learning by yourself while implementing). It's where I started python.
Alternatively, you can just start implementing stuff in a language of choice, if you have programming background this might be a much better way to learn, not suggested for beginners to the entire concept of programming though.

#76Do you have a community, where you'd learn together?
I wonder if it weren't more efective to i.e. buy books and organize book-club with your colleagues.

Our manager is running one right now, but he usually proposes books about team-work, e.t.c.
Just finished 'Turning ship around', next on the list is probably 'The phoenix project'

I am considering organizing book-club to go through google's SRE book and workbook.

#79I really like Wes Bos' courses, they cover full stack Javascript and some other FE stuff if you're interested in that. https://wesbos.com/courses/ is his list of courses.

#80Salesforce and for free.
I can even give you an online free course. Learn Salesforce on trailhead.com. It gave me the opportunity to work on awesome projects. Besides, this tech is so hyped on the market. Jump in the bandwagon!
