So my company has a budget of around 200$ which would expire by the year end if I don’t spend it on courses, books, trainings, etc.

I’m interested in knowing what you’d do or suggest. I’m in a full stack role and have tried the below.

  1. Pluralsight has good material for many topics but they’re outdated many times, especially for cloud topics.
  2. Udemy has mostly up to date content and many really good creators but lacks coverage of advanced topics like pluralsight.
  3. Coursera has good University courses but make little sense in real life development.

What are some of the ways you’d have spent this budget? What are some other sites worth looking into?

    Your company has a learning budget? If you can justify it, you can spend it on cloud-hosted resources and use them to try playing with some concept that interests you, like deploying a web service or running some heavy long-running computations. I know others who have found success in courses, but I’ve always found it easier to dig through docs and random blog posts that show up in my search results.
