Introducing New Ways You Can Accelerate Your Career In Tech with LinkedIn Learning + GitHub Codespaces

Tech skills are changing faster than ever. LinkedIn’s Economic Graph Data shows that software and IT skills have changed by over 30% in the last 5 years and that change is accelerating. So whether you are just starting out or an advanced developer, upskilling is critical. 

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. 

You can find GitHub Codespaces in 50+ LinkedIn Learning tech courses to get real-world software development environments for today’s six most popular programming languages, as well as key topics like data science, AI, and machine learning. 

Whether you are just starting out or looking to advance your technical skills in software development, try out one of our 50 new LinkedIn Learning courses integrated with GitHub Codespaces for free through February 28, 2023.

Here's what the LinkedIn Learning + GitHub Codespaces integration means for you:

Learn the Most Popular Programming Languages, Anytime, Anywhere— For Free through February 28, 2023

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.

Zero intimidation. LinkedIn Learning with GitHub Codespaces is very similar to tools you're already using or will use.

It’s always easier to learn something new when it's similar to something you’re already doing. GitHub is already used by 94 million developers and 90% of Fortune 100 companies. So, LinkedIn Learning with GitHub Codespaces is likely similar to your existing setup and will have the ideal environment to transfer your new skills to the real world.

Goodbye Setup Time. Hello, Cloud-Based Experience.

I’m often jumping between languages, libraries, or frameworks. When my setup changes, it can take quite a while to get things just right before I can even start programming or honing my coding skills. 

With GitHub Codespaces-enabled LinkedIn Learning courses, all that setup time is gone. GitHub Codespaces is cloud-based, meaning no local machine setup is needed, allowing for speed, security, and learning on any machine. The system runs on a cloud virtual machine with its own processors, most of the time faster than my own machines, so any of those (even the iPad) can work as a workstation.
