Full Stack Open
fullstackopen.com
Free university-level full-stack web development course from the University of Helsinki covering React, Node, GraphQL, TypeScript, and CI/CD.
Why it is useful
Full Stack Open is arguably the best free resource for modern JavaScript development — maintained by an active university, updated regularly to reflect current tooling, and covering the full stack rather than just one layer. Completion certificates are recognized by Finnish employers.
