Best websites to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript

There was a time when knowing how to program was for the geekiest of geeks. That’s not exactly the case today. As most entrepreneurs, freelancers and marketers will tell you, learning how to program can help you succeed. Over the past year, I’ve been learning to code. It’s helped me to become a much better entrepreneur — I can dive in when my team needs to fix a few bugs on the site.

You don’t even need to shell out a ton of money or put yourself in debt to learn how to code, either. The following places offer coding courses for HTML, CSS, Javascript and much more:

 “It’s time to step up to the plate and get passionate about your work 
  commit to making eLearningcourses that don’t bore people to tears, but
  instead inspire and motivate them to learn a new skill, 
  change a certain behavior,or improve their performance.” — Cammy Bean
