freeCodeCamp

The software on this site teaches the user how to program at different levels of difficulty, from very basic to complex. The platform is free and is suitable for learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, and other programming languages. Important: The training is entirely in English. The lesson consists of two parts: first, you read the theory and then perform a practical task in a special editor. After that the system checks your task and if the result is positive, you move on to the next lesson. In addition, with freeCodeCamp you can team up with other students and do personal projects.

HTML Academy

The HTML Academy offers interactive online courses in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. All of these programming languages share one focus — frontend. The core course consists of 900 assignments: 300 of them are free. The developers are sure that after completing the free part of the course, you will already be able to create your own website. It takes about three weeks of regular study to get the hang of it.

The basic part of each course — are video lectures and texts, in some also available tests and practical assignments. The courses on edX are mostly in English and help you learn technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, Python, Ruby, and others.
