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.

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. - br img.img-center.img-responsive(src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s116/sh/0f511118-2f92-49f0-973d-730aa57d73a0/11899e5253e998c3a5d0ee731847fba8/deep/0/github_new_repos-custom.png-(1387-1255).png", style="max-height: 355px;" alt="A chart showing the volume of new GitHub repositories by year, with JavaScript growing and most languages declining.") - h2 Will I be ready to get a software engineer job after this? + br + h2 How will I learn all this? ul - 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.
