They offer courses supported by YouTube videos. They also offer certifications for subjects like JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures, Backend Development and APIs, and Machine Learning with Python.

Full-stack web development course. The end result should be a deployed website for your portfolio.
Lots of free courses on tons of subjects including conputer science and mathematics.

oh, I also have to mention codewars. That site was absolutely instrumental in giving me the confidence that maybe I could actually learn this shit. The first kata I did was as simple as "convert the boolean to a string," but that was exactly what I needed! I also like how it's less corporate than leetcode.

Try scrimba.com, it's an interactive lecture that has labs requiring input to proceed.

JavaScript, my nemesis. I tried it many years ago, and I got the feeling of something so… ethereal, disconnected, and at sometimes random, that I never find the time to get to know it. And I probably should, may as well try this, thanks.

Recently I discovered Harvard's CS50 series of classes.
A really excellent way to learn programming in a class structure without actually going out to classes and having hard deadlines.
