Free course on Full Stack Open
Full Stack Open is a free 12-week curriculum from the University of Helsinki that teaches modern web development (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, GraphQL). It's entirely open source and free on their website. The course is hands-on: you build projects from scratch, and the learning comes from doing. After finishing, you're equipped to build full-stack applications from database to frontend. The main limitation: Full Stack Open is demanding. It expects you to already know JavaScript and be comfortable with self-directed learning. The pace is intense.
Over 40,000 students have completed Full Stack Open since its launch, and few free full-stack curriculums cover as much ground (source: fullstackopen.com).
