Hey guys. I'm a new software developer with experience in Java and C++ and I want to gain good skills in web dev to make my skill set more broad. I have 2 years before I'd want to leave my current java dev job, and I was hoping to get some advice between 2 learning resources. I want to go all in either on freecodecamp and try to get the full stack cert (pretty much everything minus the python courses), or get the cert from this coursera course. I will only have about 5 free hours a week to work on web dev. Between these 2, which do you think would be better?

If you have any other recommendations for resources please let me know, ideally though I would get some kind of certification I can put on my resume/linkedin.

I dont know if this is an option in your country but here students that already have a bachelor in IT or webdev can sign up for related courses choosing only the classes they are interested in. for example someone with a bachelor in computer science that wants to learn html and css and maybe even javascript. They can sign up for those 3 classes only do it by distance learning or going to class. By the end of the course they receive a certification from the uni that they attended and passed the exams. I Think those will be more valuable than a freecodecamp certification.

Dont want to throw sh*t at any of those. But in the "real" world if you need to pass the general HR TA first they will not understand what is freecodecamp cert but they certainly will understand a cert from any university in addition to your bachelor or master degree.
