Video Based Learning.

Udacity [www.udacity.com] and edX [www.edx.org] have collaborated with companies or universities to develop some of their course content, where other sites such as Udemy [www.udemy.com] or Skillshare [www.skillshare.com] allow anyone to become an instructor, develop their course, and post it to their site for purchase.

Additional Sites: Coursera.com, MediaBistro.com, Lynda.com

Learning to Code

If you’re looking to hone your coder skills, there are many options to find courses specific to helping you learn to code. Code School [https://www.codeschool.com/] has created a unique way of learning by adding entertaining content and a sense of gaming to their courses.  Other sites include Code Academy [http://www.codeacdemy.com/], Free Code Camp [https://www.freecodecamp.com/] or W3Schools [https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp].
