    Weird to see Canva get removed but still offered independently.

    Standouts -
    DigitalOcean - You can get a cheap instance and host your portfolio/project for quite a long time
    Heroku - You can also host on here, $13 per month seems pretty good
    Frontend Masters - Really good courses. I really like Will Sentance's courses on Advanced Javascript
    GitKraken and GitLens are great for Git. Makes life much easier vs the terminal
    Namecheap - Give your portfolio/project a domain

      Avoid Heroku. Salesforce has, in a surprise to no one, ruined it since they acquired it. You're much better off with DO or AWS (free-tier offers a lot if you're savvy), more bang for your buck and you get more transferrable skills.

        Applying on mobile requires you to take a photo using your camera as proof of enrollment, including dates, instead of allowing image uploads. Additionally, the application kept failing, repeatedly requesting a full name and short bio on my account, even though the information was already provided.

        • c64 on 07/06/2023 - 10:57

          stuff that. i would be fine with verifying a student email but that sounds like too much trouble

    • Bonding0909 on 08/06/2023 - 11:40

      They've only recently upped it, enough that I don't feel like I can con them this year around (have an edu domain but not working in education). Wouldn't be comfortable giving them that information even if I was.

      • Jimbuscus on 08/06/2023 - 11:48

        I should have the required materials and it still doesn't work.

      • birdjj on 13/06/2023 - 15:22

        Nah definitely not recently, at least 4-5 years ago they had me provide heaps of proof that I was enrolled where I said I was (student email, letter of enrollment, last report), I didn't end up doing it because some of the information on those documents is none of their business

      My University email was from before everything went Office 365 so it's dead sadly. However I tested my key fob last year and somehow it still works all over campus. I haven't been a student in 8 years.

      • Wiadro on 06/06/2023 - 22:51

        damn, my tafe worked last year to renew my unidays, now it just says "unauthorised user"

        • Clear on 06/06/2023 - 22:57

          Unlucky. I know most universities let you retain emails now when you graduate, but I guess that's not the case for Tafe. Understandable as it would cost them $$$.

      Don’t most devs get at least some equivalent of these from work? What’s the appeal? Freelancing gigs? I’m trying to understand the use case.

      • moar bargains on 07/06/2023 - 12:54
        +2

        From a student perspective, I reckon the use case is pretty niche. If you have a fantastic app idea that you're trying to launch, you can hook into these tools, but I would suggest that's quite rare from a student. People like that have probably already dropped out of Uni and are self-taught and running their business from their parent's garage.

        The idea from the platform's perspective is to get students familiar with their tools, so that they "can't live without them" and continue paying once they start working. However, that's probably somewhat unrealistic too, because students will mostly just use what their lecturer/professor/teacher/tutor tells them or assigns in the curriculum. "Oh, we use Moodle to submit assignments? Fine, I'll do that. No need to learn Git/GitHub/Heroku/DeepScan/whatever this time around."

        And as you say, the above basically applies to most dev jobs as well. Unless you are starting your own app/business or are employed as CIO or tech lead at a start-up, you use the tools that the business already provides/subscribes to.

          Hahaha city councils don't allow garage operations anymore last I heard. Something about liveability and housing crisis.

          We used some shell scripts to submit projects back in uni, I actually quite appreciate it now looking back. Generic skills are way more important, ie the way of thinking as opposed to the way of doing. That said, people who can do regex without googling always has my respect.

            They certainly didn't like FluidTek and MSY operating from their garages and that was a very long time ago. Good memories.

            • frugalftw on 07/06/2023 - 19:02

              @Clear: I’ve heard stories of MSY setting up shops in town halls, sort of a computer market thing a long, long time ago. It really shows your age btw 😛

        what website you used for the enrolment cert?

        • xers on 08/06/2023 - 09:27

          It's not a fake cert, I'm actually enrolled in a course and just used the the student portal to automatically generate a confirmation letter (I assume that's what Jacob meant by "robot-generated").

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. Would have been awesome if it was grouped into offers with a limited time expiry and offers that are ongoing with continued enrolment :)

    Worth noting that while GitHub advertises it as being all through them, most of these offers are just aggregated and you can still go through individual channels for education discounts. In my case notable for Jetbrains, since their application doesn't require enrolment/employment verification like GitHub does.

    Some of the offers aren't even education restricted, just highlighted by GitHub; DigitalOcean gives all new users $200 credit, and the Azure one seems like their regular introductory offer as well (and before MS bought GitHub, they only had the equivalent AWS offer). Mostly only the ones that are "enjoy [pro tier] while you are a student" are actually education offers.

    • birdjj on 13/06/2023 - 15:26

      Since when? I never got that when I signed up originally, they don't even give that much if you sign up with a referral
