Hello Devs, if you are looking for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021 deals to invest in your learning then you have come to the right place.

In this article, I have selected the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for programmers, developers, software engineers, and IT professionals who want to invest in learning new technology and upskilling themselves in 2022.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are special occasion to buy and probably the best time to invest in your technical skills. This is the time when every company offers sweet deals on books, courses, tools, and things that matter most for programmers and developers.

But, at the same time, it's not easy to find out great deals which are worth it for you. I have been receiving a lot of great offers from sites like Udemy, Pluralsight, Educative, CodeCademy, DataCamp, Coursera about their Black Friday deals and many of my readers were also asking me about that.

After answering them individually on email and social networks, I thought to put together the best Black Friday deals for programmers and software developers together.

This will not only help you to find great deals but also you can get them before they get expired as these offers are highly time-sensitive and over by next week or so.

If you are thinking to buy Udemy courses, you can buy more than one course because Udemy provides lifetime access so you can watch those courses when you need them. Similarly, if you are on Pluralsight or Educative annual plan this is the best time to renew them and save for your future learning.
