    FreeCodeCamp is a fantastic alternative to Codecademy's web development classes on HTML, CSS, and JQuery. It is completely free, utilizes a live sandbox format for application of learned concepts, and, most of all, features a massive support community.

    Although there are sections about programming (which are not necessarily strong in quality), it is not the primary focus on this website. This is a fantastic site, however, to study math with.

    The Odin Project is one of those "What I wish I had when I was learning" resources. Not everyone has access to a computer science education or the funds to attend an intensive coding school and neither of those is right for everyone anyway.
