I personally believe that learning should cost as little as possible and over the years I have curated a lot free resources and content available on the internet. I created this page on my website to organize and share that collection. There is a large variety of content you can find just starting here. If you are looking for something not available on this page, book mark this page and check back every once in a while. I plan on adding more as I find more resources but in the meantime I recommend using your favorite search engine.
I am not affiliated with any of these resources, trainings, webinars, courses or other content. If you find any of the links have been broken please notify me by email. I have not gone through all this content personally and don't know if everything in this list is up to date, accurate or high quality content. If you have any concerns please let me know.
