I would be sharing my experience with free course vs paid coding course
PAID COURSES
PROS
As you a paid a certain amount for the course your mind tells not to waste the money for nothing so you would learn something.
As there is someone to assess you and guide you weather you are on the right path or not
If there is a teacher who is an expert in that field ,then you would be gaining more knowledge from him /her.
CONS
The institute which you choose matters a lot ,so choose the institute wisely
Price of the courses sometimes might be very high
finishing the course will be just the beginning to the coding journey but nowadays institute just sells dreams and false hopes.
FREE COURSES
PROS
There will be no boundary you can start where ever you want and how ever you want
You can go as much deep as possible about the subject
you can follow not just your country content but have wide range of knowledge across the other countries as well .
- CONS
No certificate issued
hard to find good quality content
hard to be motivated
FINALLY
Its up to you to decide which path should you go and choose to learn and master coding
