Information Security
freeCodeCamp's Information Security course teaches you how to build and defend secure web applications through five hands-on projects. You'll learn to implement authentication, encrypt sensitive data, scan for vulnerabilities like SQL injection and XSS, and apply secure coding practices with libraries like HelmetJS. After completing it, you can write production code that resists common attacks. It's ideal for developers who already know basic Python and JavaScript and want to add security skills to their toolkit. The limitation: it is project-heavy and time-consuming, not a quick overview.
