LinkedIn and GitHub Launch Over 50 Free Software Development Courses

LinkedIn is collaborating with GitHub to launch over 50 software development courses through LinkedIn Learning for free until February 28, 2023.

The courses cover the most widely used programming languages in the world by integrating educational videos from LinkedIn with GitHub Codespaces.

The new educational collaboration between LinkedIn and GitHub will provide developers with real-world coding practice to help them improve their skills.

As explained by LinkedIn in an announcement:

“That’s why we paired LinkedIn skills data and expert content with the latest GitHub hands-on practice technology to launch the new LinkedIn Learning with GitHub Codespaces integration. The new feature enables software developers to watch a course and get real workplace-like practice from anywhere. This creates a powerful learning experience requiring only a keyboard-enabled device and an internet connection.
Now, you can learn and practice in real-world environments at any stage in your software development career—from beginner to advanced—in the most popular programming languages on LinkedIn Learning. So whether you’re learning SQL or advancing your Python coding skills, a developer can get straight from learning to writing code.”

You will find in the LinkedIn announcement video below an example of how the integration with GitHub works:
