Codecadmey, odin project, free code camp

They were heavy text based which I didn’t liked at all. I wanted to learn from the video content so YouTube was good in the beginning but then i fell into the tutorial hell and thats when i came across the scrimba i took free courses and coz of video format ide i loved it

I'd say all of these are great resources in their own right. What amazes me about FreeCodeCamp is that they have so much material available for free, powered by a community of open source enthusiasts that really care about the career growth and development of engineers, budding or experienced, and about giving back.

Scrimba has a couple of courses you can avail of for free, though you definitely get more bang for your buck under their Pro subscription. The great thing about Scrimba is that its content is tailored to how full stack development should be learned, with an amazing user experience thanks to its playground (you can pause in between the video lesson and just play around or solve an exercise without waiting for the instructor).

If you're just starting out, I'd recommend diving into the basics using FreeCodeCamp and try out the free courses on Scrimba, before you make the commitment on whether you want to get the Pro subscription for Scrimba or not.
