So i have been looking for how to learn fundamentals in coding and i discovered that i could not get any platform to compare reviews, pro and cons for most of the online platforms. The task of finding the right one for me and my learning style. So i decided to compile the list of the most talked about on the internet and include some of the good topics i found on each of the platform. Hope it help few peeps trying to learn coding.
