My challenge in March is to dedicate a few hours a week in 'learning mode' during which I'd like to study up on topics that will help me in my product management role at the startup I work at. This includes anything relate to computer science, user research, user experience, coding, etc. Does any one have any low cost resources? Something like freecodecamp would be awesome! I'm like a blank slate so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all :)

Udacity has a lot of free courses on the stuff you want to learn about. They're more targeted towards corporate learners now but the free courses are still available and of high quality. Learned a ton from them.

@ali_alsayed Thanks so much! I'm checking it out now. Good to know the free courses are still worth doing.

Just in case anyone is following this thread, I got a couple more UX/UI resources from a helpful CH convo: https://www.kickassux.com/vault - non profit with lots of free learning resources, targeted towards teaching UX design The book About Face - to learn about interaction design Keep the ideas coming!

@shesmaddie, you should check udemy.com - I just got email that there are courses on sale I also recommend Scrum Guide https://www.scrum.org/resources/... if it's new to you

@jan_mazurek Great to hear! I haven't done any courses on udemy because I'm usually overwhelmed with choice, but this might be my opportunity to finally try it. Scrum is definitely something I should learn more about, thanks for the recommendation!
