What are the things that are worth spending money on to learn and code JavaScript?
Need to learn FAST... Any recommendations for a free interactive rust course?
Current self taught developers who started of with no knowledge and then used a large free course online. How much of your knowledge came from said course

Which books, software, courses, devices (or whatever) are worth shelling out a few bucks for? Also, what in your opinion isn't worth the price or even paying for at all?
I'm on a bit of a mission to learn programming...
Some may question the sanity of my approach, but I'm juggling JS, Python and Rust at the moment and finding that learning multiple languages seems to help give me a more broad understanding of programming in general - especially as I'm new to it all.
What I have found is that there seems to be a "sweet spot" for interactive courses where there is a good mix of interactive exercises, explanations and hints with a logical progression through the complexities of the language geared towards achieving tasks. The best example I've found of this sort of thing so far is learnjavascript.online by Jad Joubran. That course seems to have everything just right for FAST learning (at least the way my brain works) - the "knowledge map" is a stroke of genius!
So far, I've tried FreeCodeCamp and educative.io for Rust, as well as the rustlings repo - all good in their own way, but I can't help feeling I'd make quicker progress if I could just find a course like the JS one mentioned above.
The icing on the cake would be a free course, although the Jad Joubran course is actually paid after a certain point - which at least is a fixed fee rather than ongoing subscription.
Basically the title.
Between not knowing what a variable is and your first application/resume that got you interviewed, how much did said course account for in terms of concepts ad techniques you would be introduced to if you had to give a percentage
And mind you I’m not asking how you got good with like applying regular expresssions or whatever, im asking how much of your awareness of the tools you have as a developer came from a neat tidy course, and how much from vicariously bouncing around random stack overflow pages
People are real vague about what role free code camp and the oding project played in making them a dev. If I were to finish just fcc’s data analysis course, an played with the concepts I learned for a month rigorously. How much of my journey to job readiness actually be complete?
