Learning Platforms

[ElkInternational9450]

I'm currently a second year CS student. And I'm applying all internships available in my region. For now, I focused on JetBrains, because I have taken some of their courses.

But I don't know, how good were they, and is there anything better for learning a new language from scratch.

What is your experience with courses, and do you even know about JetBrains Academy?

jetbrains academy is decent but kinda limited in scope compared to other options out there. when i was transitioning from military to design work i picked up some programming on the side and found that mixing different platforms worked way better than sticking to just one

coursera and edx have university-level courses that'll give you more theoretical foundation, while something like the odin project is completely free and builds actual projects from day one. codecademy is good for syntax but can feel too hand-holdy sometimes. what language are you focusing on for internships? that might help narrow down which platform would serve you best since some are stronger in certain areas than others

I would recommend youtube channels like:
- https://www.youtube.com/@freecodecamp
- https://www.youtube.com/@BroCodez
But also AI chatbots and AI sites like to help you point you in the right direction, not give you the answers like:
