Many a time have I been asked where are the best places to learn how to code. I learned directly from YouTube and by trial and error on my test project sites. With Cursor, Replit and Claude learning to code is easier than ever.
What I’ve done here is list the best places I’ve learned how to code and that I’ve had positive feedback from sending people to learn on these sites.
I hope these do help you learn a new skill.

I found W3 schools useful as my industry standard for referencing things I was learning. It does help to have a central official point of reference when learning so you can learn the same frameworks and foundations that your peers have.
Learning from developers’ videos on YouTube was very siloed, skewed towards their style and their projects and I had no point of reference so tying what I was learning to actual standards and methodologies was extremely helpful.
๐ค AI-Assisted Learn to Code Platforms:
- Claude: claude.ai
- Cursor: cursor.com
- Replit Agent: replit.com/replitai
There are bunch of these AI-assisted code platforms around and we can not leave out Chat GPT. I’ve found these 3 quite useful for learning, but special mention to VS Code an IDE that isn’t not directly AI-powered but has some useful plugins that make it worth a go.
As always I hope this helps someone out there level up and get that dream job.
