Another good alternative is Scrimba. Although you pay a monthly subscription, the video tutorials are all interactive, you can pause and edit the code from the video.

One of the things I liked the best about Coursera was that most classes had assignments that you submit to an automatic grader that you have to pass to get marked complete. In my experience, this wasn’t available when auditing a course (ie the free part). But to me the Coursera Plus option (like $400 a year for unlimited courses) was well worth it. YMMV

Keep the videos coming! I'm glad you found some things to take away from the article :)
👏👏👏 So much great information here as a self-taught programmer! I got to check out pluralsight, but Udemy was a great start for me. I especially got to network more and try meetups.
me too! I have so many unused Udemy courses that helped me realized what I didn't want to learn cough python cough
Share your Anki cards!
When I've shared them in the past, it hasn't been as helpful. I think part of the learning process is making your own cards, in the same way that writing out your own class notes is useful. But here is the video I first used when trying to figure out how to get the most from the Anki method.
You forgot StackOverflow and GitHub
Mind explaining what you mean? I've used a few curated GitHub repos, but not so much Stack Overflow
Just ask and answer questions, it's some kind of learning and practice. At the same time, excellent questions and answers will get upvotes, and you will get the reputation. This kind of motivation makes you feel good. Then, repeat a few years.
