Web Development courses
The web development courses listed here cover HTML and CSS, JavaScript, React, back end and API work, databases and deployment. The providers include HKUST, Meta, the University of Michigan, Google and IBM.
Front end, back end and full stack are three different study plans, so pick one before you browse. Favour project based courses: web development is hired on what you have built, and a deployed project beats a certificate on its own.
A Web Development course is worth paying for when it closes a gap someone is hiring for. Read your CV against the job you are targeting in CV and Job Match, check what the role pays and who is advertising for it in Job Scout and on the salary pages, and let Course Path put the remaining gaps in order, cheapest and shortest first where that makes no difference to the outcome.
Web Development courses worth starting with
The catalogue holds 130 Web Development courses. These 15 are the ones we point people at first, chosen for a provider name a recruiter recognises, a credential worth writing on a CV and a description that says more than the course title. Each page carries the provider, the level, the length and the certificate. The rest of the subject is on the same page, and the filters search all of it.

What this page lists for Web Development
130 Web Development courses have a page on this site. By platform that is Udemy 72, Scrimba 26, Coursera 16, edX 16. By the level the provider states, 59 beginner, 69 intermediate, 2 advanced. On credentials, 6 are a Professional Certificate and 124 a plain certificate of completion. Every one of those counts is a count of rows in the catalogue on this page, and every one of them can be checked against the filters on this page: set the platform or the level and compare the number of results.
What this page does not cover
- 72 of the 130 come from Udemy alone, so this shelf reflects what Udemy publishes more than it reflects the subject.
- We have not taken these courses. The level, the length and the certificate line come from the provider's own listing, and nothing on this page is a review of the teaching.
- A certificate is usually a paid extra rather than part of a free course. edX states of its own audit track that "Auditors have temporary access to edX course materials at no cost", and the certificate sits on the paid track instead. Read the price line on the course page before you assume a free course ends in a credential.
- Careery earns affiliate commission on some course links. It does not change the order of this list, which is set by the filters you choose, and it is the reason to say so here.
- This is what we list, not what exists. A subject missing from the counts above is missing from our catalogue, which is not evidence that nobody teaches it.
