You would like to continue your journey as a developer by intentionally taking some time to learn something new? Or maybe deepen your existing knowledge in a specific subject but are not sure where to find appropriate resources? Trust me, I’ve been there. In the past, I sometimes got so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options that I simply spent most of my time browsing around, hopping from one great course to the next until there was no more time to study. But fear no more - I put together a list of reliable options for you to dig in. If you are missing something, please feel free to add it in a comment, I’d love to check it out!

**[Tiny Teachers](https://tiny-teachers.dev/)** 
This morning I read in [Stefan Judis'](https://twitter.com/stefanjudis) newsletter (literally my favourite web development newsletter out there, hands down) that he put together the platform ‘Tiny Teachers’ - where you can browse resources by category (currently things like CSS, Vim & Typescript are on there to name a few) and add your own. Will be great to see how this one develops once more people contribute!

**[Frontend Masters](https://frontendmasters.com/)** 
A classic - I was lucky enough to get free access for a year through my education program, maybe your school or employer offers the same? Here you can find a wide range of topics from Developer Productivity to specific frameworks, Grid & Flexbox or an Intro to Computer Science - all at a high quality and with the benefit of the name - Frontend Masters is popular enough to ring a bell when you put it on your CV. 

**[CodeJourneys](https://codejourneys.org/)** 
Code Journeys is a friendly, inclusive developer community - welcoming everyone regardless of level, experience or interest in a specific language or framework. The community meets on Slack or calls for coding challenges and workshops - a great way to get in touch with like minded people, ask questions and learn beyond the scope of one's own horizon. And founder [Raffaele](https://twitter.com/pixari) makes sure everyone gets the support they need.  

**[Egghead](https://egghead.io/)**
Another classic I stumbled upon during my bootcamp - an epic number of courses on what seems to me like all the topics one could ever want to learn, some free (like the [beginners guide to react](https://egghead.io/courses/the-beginner-s-guide-to-react)) some part of their pro membership (like [docker fundamentals](https://egghead.io/courses/docker-fundamentals-0cb53b55 )). Besides that, a great library of articles and podcast episodes - in case you want to switch learning methods around a little bit. 

**[Just JavaScript](https://justjavascript.com/)**
I signed up for Just JavaScript on recommendation of my mentor, back when it was still in beta testing and free. Yet I would pay every cent of the 42$ it costs now, cause it simply wowed me. The 10 episode program is created by [Dan Abramov](https://twitter.com/dan_abramov) himself in cooperation with illustrator [Maggie Appleton](https://maggieappleton.com/) and teaches you mental models behind JavaScript - giving participants a deeper understanding of the concepts they might be working with already. To quote their website *“a way of thinking about JS that will completely shift your understanding of the language.”*

These are some of my favourite resources to learn more about web development. When browsing around dev.to, I found this great [article](https://dev.to/davidmm1707/free-learning-resources-for-programmers-p9d) that put together exclusively free resources - which is absolutely amazing and a lot more accessible of course than some of the paid programs. **Which one is your favourite resource for learning something new in web development? And why?** I’d love to learn about it, please leave a comment below to let me know :)
