Do you guys know of anything similar to freecodecamp for UI/UX design? There are a few specializations on Coursera that I like, but I don’t want to spend that money right now … I also saw a couple of “newsletter courses”, but then they don’t have that curriculum and structured exercises …
If any of you happen to have recommendations, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi, I’m interested in those specializations in Coursera. Could you link them please?
Also, I think that you can you can search the specific courses that are part of the specialization and audit them singularly, so, unless you don’t need the certificate, you won’t pay.
I’ve done this with the courses of the Hong Kong university, which I highly recommend for React, btw.
Like yourself, I am also interested to study UI/UX design and I have been doing some basic researching and frankly, I am yet to find a Bootcamp that will not hurt our piggy bank.
They may not be Bootcamps, but I watch this video the other day promoting free courses. (Warning: the video is 20+ minutes long but it is listed in the description) .
As I mentioned above, I did basic research and did not look into it thoroughly so I can’t answer if these courses are what you are looking for.
I wish you all the best and I will let you know if I do find one in the meantime
What I wanted to add earlier is that basically when you enroll in a course on Coursera they’ll give you the option to start a 7-days free trial.
Under that, written tiny tiny tiny, there is the option to audit the course. It’ll be free but you won’t have the certificate nor you’ll be able to do the end of the week projects.
@Madalena.design Thank you. Did not yet look at all the resources, but this video seems to be quite useful.
@simonebogni Thank you for the hint about the free option. The current interface actually got me somewhat confused about whether you really can take them for free, or this is just a trial. The certificate question… I guess I am not sure about the financial trade-off right now … since you have to pay on a monthly subscription basis it’s uneconomical to do them slowly on the side … so all the happier about the freeCodeCamp way Great content/platform/community plus free certificate option is an amazing gift.
Late to the party but here are some resources you can use to learn UX UI either for free or dirt cheap prices.
First if you are in US/Canada most of the bigger libraries from cities offer free Lynda membership make a card with them and off you go tons and tons of UX/UI content there.
for UX UI again dirt cheap prices but they do one or two course at time this is the catch
