Self-taught or with the help of professionals, with free or paid plans, here are the sites and places to learn to code on the beach or in the office.

Coding is a profession, and an increasingly complex profession. You cannot improvise yourself as a developer, and even when you work for several months on specialized sites, it is difficult to claim to be as good as an engineer who has completed several years of high-level studies.

When working on the web, it is nevertheless necessary to have a good computer culture and to know how the main programming languages work.

There are a lot of fairly simple things to do and, with a little training and work, you quickly find yourself much more independent and efficient. Here are the top 5 of the best sites to learn to code.

In addition to the countless tutorials on online video platforms, several sites and programs allow you to learn code this summer, whether in total autonomy or accompanied by teachers .

Here is a selection - by definition not exhaustive - of the training courses offered during the holidays, for beginners as well as for initiates. We have given priority here to free training in French (but not only), trying to show as much as possible the wide variety of options offered (face-to-face, online, both, barcamps, etc.).

Note that if you opt for paid PHP training, you can sometimes benefit from funding : with a personal activity account (CPA) or employment center for example.
