Personally I recommend the following:

Udemy

Great for beginners. The top courses there are usually very thorough. Courses here are what gave me the skills to get my first job.

My favorite course has to be my initial course to React: The complete React developer by Andrew Mead. That course:

  • Taught me React fairly well for a beginner developer.
  • Introduced webpack (which gave me enough introduction to then be able to read all the docs and learn it much better).
  • Had testing (which again gave me enough introduction to ace my first job).
  • Introduced BEM for CSS, which (in my opinion) reigns supreme over any and all other CSS methodologies in the world, and also happens to actually apply programming principles to CSS which seem to not exist in CSS otherwise. But I digress.
  • Spoke about source control briefly.

It's my favorite and best course I've ever done hands down.

Many Udemy courses are like that, so I highly recommend Udemy when you want something very thorough.

Frontend masters

Great courses here as well. It roughly picks up where Udemy drops off. If you're an experienced front end developer and just want a fairly quick video course on technology X, this is the course site for you.

Others

  • MDN - Literally taught me HTML and CSS to expert. Read through the tutorials and docs.
  • Cleancoders - Really good all around. I particularly recommend the "clean code in the browser" series for front end developers.
  • Official documentation: It's usually pretty good for tutorials and references. For example I learned React hooks and RxJS mostly from the documentation.
