p.landing-p By pair programming with other Free Code Camp students on our coding challenges. Eventually, you'll work with people at nonprofits to build real-life software solutions.
h2 What is 'pair programming', and what's so special about it?
ul
p.landing-p Pair programming is where two people code together on one computer. You discuss different approaches to solving problems, and keep each other motivated. The result is better code than either of you could have written by yourselves. Because of its benefits, many engineers pair program full time. And it's the best way to learn coding. Thanks to tools that allow two people to share mouse and keyboard inputs, you can pair program with a friend without needing to be in the same room.
p.landing-p At the end of Free Code Camp, you will have pair programmed around 1,000 hours with dozens of other students, built a portfolio of projects that people are actively using, and a roster of glowing references from nonprofits you've helped. On average, 75% of bootcamp graduates get software engineering jobs within 6 months, and earn an average annual salary of $76,000.

h2 How long does Free Code Camp take?
ul
p.landing-p It takes about 1,000 hours of coding to develop the skills you'll need to get an entry level software engineering job. Many in-person coding bootcamps jam all this into 12 weeks of intensive study. Free Code Camp is fully online, and there will always be other people at your skill level that you can pair program with, so you can learn at your own pace. Here are some example coding schedules:

h2 Why does Free Code Camp use JavaScript instead of Ruby or Python?
ul
p.landing-p Like JavaScript, Ruby and Python are high-level scripting languages that can be used for full stack web development. But even if you learned these languages, you'd still need to learn JavaScript. That's because JavaScript is the only language that runs in web browsers. JavaScript has been around for 20 years, and it is still growing in popularity. Because of this, JavaScript has more tools and online learning resources than any other language.

p.landing-p Our name is Free Code Camp. We are a free code camp. If you had to pay us (or sign over future earnings), we'd have to change our name. And we are not going to do that.
