There are several posts already on Biostars regarding the online courses which we could take for bioinformatics. I try to link all together and also included some websites, where the earlier workshops materials could be found::

This list above is great- I'll just add that the Bioconductor Project (an ecosystem of ~1000 packages for bioinformatics in R) has produced a series of very useful tutorial videos on youtube.
Bioconductor's youtube page is here; their introductory video is here: , which is a nice starting point for beginners.

Although this is not hard-core Bioinformatics tutorials, Rosalind is a great site to teach noobs like me the basics of bioinformatics.
There is a tree of bioinformatic problems that you have to solve using Python, each with explanations, test datasets etc.
And when you complete an assignment it unlocks harder problems.

Not specifically for bioinformatics, but the software carpentry courses should be on the list. They are particularly useful for wet-lab people who started or is starting to analyse data and need to learn bash, python, and specially good software design practices. Also the courses are free as in beer and free as in speech.

I could not find the train online platform from the EMBL-EBI in your list. We've got loads of courses in there, some conceptual others with hands-on and use case scenarios, and also webinars. From 'DNA & RNA' to 'Chemical biology'. More adding to the current list as we speak!

I would recommend bioinformatic training courses offered by Arraygen Technologies.
Please visit the site for more details: http://www.arraygen.com/workshop-training.php.

We are also offering bioinformatic training courses in Berlin. Please have a look at our website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses/

It seems that some of the courses in the provided link are not FREE! These days people can find very many quality options from best universities all over the world for FREE.

I don't see a problem about those courses not being free. It is true that there are some free courses, but I disagree that many quality _presential_ courses are free. People may also choose to pay for a course which is closer to home, instead to flying to a "free" course. If the courses listed are not clearly marked as fee-paying that you are absolutely right to complain, otherwise let those who want (and can) pay.

Thank you Deepak for your contribution. Its a great help!
Welcome :-)
The coursera link is a bit outdated, here is a new one: https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=bioinformatics
sorry,
for this course i should pay, do you know courses like this but free one?
Are you talking about the Coursera courses?
These are absolutely free, as far as I know. You only have to pay, if you want to earn a certification.
i applied for coursera but just found 1 min description about course which i had clicked on after that i think demanded money...
Please, paste the link here.
https://www.coursera.org/course/rprog
i found just 1 min about R in a video after that nothing
or here https://www.coursera.org/course/pythonlearn
there just 2 min introduction, then where is the course itself?
sorry Deepak for first link i pasted above i could find some videos right now...i think i should search thoroughly...
On the right side of the page, you could see the session. You should select the session. If you select the previous sessions, you could see the videos of previous lectures.
thank you, you know i applied for coursera long time ago but thinking it is not free left searching more in coursera website!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but, anyone know any javascript courses (if possible oriented to biology but it's not a must) for data visualization and these kind of issues? Thanks :-)
Have you tried Code School ?
This can also be helpful to many people looking at this page, since I got a lot of positive response from people after posting the workflow :)
https://www.biostars.org/p/123728/
It is, indeed!
I think you didn't checked the links. I mentioned it in link 36.
Oh! No I didn't in fact. I was not expecting cuz. That's a lot of time and effort precisely gathering all these info together. I appreciate that.
man ham dar R kamelan mobtadi hastam Parham,
hich moshkeli nist sarah manam mobtadiam. see if the link I shared can do any help :)
Ako sa o angličtinu ?
Enta Englanti ?
