Hi Angel,
I liked the idea of the article very much. I have often wondered if all the coding sites that are out there are free. But I have to say it but I got restless and did not finish the article. I actually skipped to the conclusion, BUT the conclusion did not have the list of 'free-be' sites. It may seem redundant but conclusions are usually a wrap-up and state the results too.
Which 5?

Just my 2 cents ;)

That's good advice. I wrote this article most of the day yesterday up until I had to go to work so the conclusion was rushed. I will edit it to include your suggestion.

Good, I'm happy to help.
I have also been struggling with the curse of online classes.
There is one hack I will share about Coursera. If you join in Coursera class and you get to the 'money' page look below. If you look hard for the 'fine print', Coursera has a box or link for 'financial assistance'. If you follow that link they give you the criteria for getting free classes. You have to be unemployed, or a student and something else... But you write a page telling them why you should get the course for free and they'll let you know in two weeks. My friend and I have both used it and gotten free classes.
Best of luck,
;)

That is a good hack.
