Hi It was some sort of coding education for Aussies that have lost work due to the current situation, at that time I wasn't eligible but today was stood down.
Does anyone remember what it was? Or for anyone that has applied can you post your experience. Would be really grateful. Cheers.
Thank you i'll check it out. I was specifically looking for this offer but this looks like a good resource.
Corona deal?
What was it? Half price special? Pricing error? Free delivery? Please be precise….
It was an offer for a coding bootcamp type thing im assuming that's otherwise paid for people that have lost their job.I think someone that was affiliated posted it. It was on a case-by-case basis, you had to email them. I can't for the life of me find it.
Thanks. Some good stuff there.
Neither. it was a guy im assuming who is affiliated, offering access to an otherwise paid program for people that have lost their job. Im assuming it was a coding bootcamp type thing could be wrong.
Must have been scrubbed or moved to forum. I looked through the past few days of deals and its gone. Thanks for the help.
Dont know if this is really allowed but Codecademy is doing a free Codecademy Pro thing for students but they dont need to verify the .edu email
[email protected] is really enjoying Codecademy Pro
Thanks but looks like they're using verified ID and class schedule now.
Was it Free 3 Month Premium Membership @ Skillshare. I posted it but couldn't get the 3 months to work so removed as unobtainable. You can still get 2 months free however.
It wasn't. It was an independent thing like a coding bootcamp or something similar. Thanks for the resource though looks good.
Whare are you looking to do exactly?
Coding isn't exactly generic; most jobs will require very specific knowledge. For example - The competitive programming course isn't going to be useful at all, just by looking at the summary of the content that they will have. You can basically just create your own course that would be many times better by structuring the courses to what you want to do. Basically I wouldn't recommend that bootcamp thing; in fact that would probably get you ready to do basic statistics/programming courses at university at best; and we all know how useful those are…..
Content isn't hard to find, but most of it will be the manuals or software documentation (literally the python documentation). You won't get someone walking you through most of the advanced content which is required to be job ready. Look to create something, that's what is going to get your portfolio looking nice and get yourself on the way to being hired.
Not OP but I'll snipe his thread since he didn't answer.
I'm a bit interested in two aspects, automating jobs at work and making a website.
I work with large amounts of data, usually pretty excel based, and am often pulling out tables and graphs to put into word documents. I'm hoping to automate something like that.
Additionally, on the side, I enjoy photography and would love to make a website that isn't dependent on wix / squarespace etc.
I'm trying to get an overview of all the languages so I can see which would be most effective for my goals. I'm not looking for a new career, just to make my current one a little bit easier.
Any suggestions on languages to look into?
Thanks

I'm not too sure about this one, sounds like pretty manual work and pretty hard to automate pulling tables and graphs unless it's the exact same spot on all the same word documents. I'm guessing Python could do it fine.

That'll be React JS. You'll need to know CSS too.
Thanks, I'll look into them.
There's free entry level courses in TAFE but these should provide a good starting point to getting a good grasp of the coding principles.
You'll need hard work and dedication to actually make it since you'll soon realise why there's a shortage of them but if you really enjoy it, it's great fun.
Take a look at these, I think all of them are great starting points depending on what you want to do, front-end, back-end or just webdev.

Do you have any preference for the technology set or language?
PluralSight is very good resource and it is totally free for this month. Give it a try
