12 Free Web Development Courses to Take While in Self-Isolation

April 15, 2020 by Sidlangan Natividad

It’s rather unfortunate that the best some of us can do in a time of a global pandemic is to stay at home in order to help. Quarantines for that matter, are tough challenges for the regular person. However, they don’t have to feel like an unproductive slog, why not treat yourself to some self-improvement and partake in some free web development courses?

Because if anything, this global pandemic has proven that businesses that take their platform online are more bulletproof, so to speak. That means websites are a secure investment in this day and age.
