<h4>What is freeCodeCamp?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
We’re a community that helps you learn to code, then get
|
|||
|
|
experience by contributing to open source projects used by
|
|||
|
|
nonprofits.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>How can you help me learn to code?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
You'll learn to code by completing coding challenges and
|
|||
|
|
building projects. You'll also earn verified certifications
|
|||
|
|
along the way. We also encourage you to join a study group in
|
|||
|
|
your city so you can code in-person with other people.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp really free?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Yes. Every aspect of freeCodeCamp is 100% free.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>
|
|||
|
|
Can freeCodeCamp help me get a job as a software developer?
|
|||
|
|
</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Yes. Every year, thousands of people who join the freeCodeCamp
|
|||
|
|
community get their first software developer job. If you're

curious, you can{' '}

<h4>

Does freeCodeCamp accept donations in Bitcoin or other crypto

<h4>
|
|||
|
|
How long will it take me to finish each of freeCodeCamp's
|
|||
|
|
certifications?
|
|||
|
|
</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Each certification takes around 300 hours of dedicated learning.
|
|||
|
|
Some people may take longer. These certifications are completely
|
|||
|
|
self-paced, so take as long as you need.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp a coding bootcamp?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
No. A lot of coding bootcamps use freeCodeCamp as part of their
|
|||
|
|
curriculum, though.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp a replacement for a 4-year degree?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
No. Please don’t drop out of college just to pursue
|
|||
|
|
freeCodeCamp. You can pursue both concurrently. Even though you
|
|||
|
|
don’t need a 4-year degree to work as a software developer, it
|
|||
|
|
still helps a lot.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Should I complete all of the coding challenges in order?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
We’ve put a lot of thought into how we introduce concepts. But
|
|||
|
|
you’re free to jump around.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>Do I have to use CodePen for the front end projects?</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
As long as your code is publicly viewable somewhere on the
|
|||
|
|
internet, and you have a live demo, you can use whatever tools
|
|||
|
|
you want.

started the freeCodeCamp community in 2014. He is now just one

of thousands of active contributors.

<h4>
|
|||
|
|
I'm a teacher. Is freeCodeCamp an appropriate resource for my
|
|||
|
|
className?
|
|||
|
|
</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Yes. Many high school, college, and adult ed programs
|
|||
|
|
incorporate freeCodeCamp into their coursework. We're open
|
|||
|
|
source, so no license or special permission from us is
|
|||
|
|
necessary. We're even building special tools for teachers.
|
|||
|

</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>
|
|||
|
|
Can I live-stream myself working on freeCodeCamp challenges and
|
|||
|
|
projects? Can I blog about how I solved them?
|
|||
|
|
</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Yes. We welcome this. Also, don't be shy about "spoiling"
|
|||
|
|
projects or challenges. The solutions to all of these challenges
|
|||
|
|
are already all over the internet.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>
|
|||
|
|
Can I create apps or tools based around the freeCodeCamp
|
|||
|
|
community and platform?
|
|||
|
|
</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Yes. freeCodeCamp is open source (BSD-3 license), and most
|
|||
|
|
non-sensitive freeCodeCamp data is publicly available. But you
|
|||
|
|
must make it clear that you don't represent freeCodeCamp itself,
|
|||
|
|
and that your project is not officially endorsed by
|
|||
|
|
freeCodeCamp.
