Welcome to Free Code Camp's open source codebase and curriculum!
=======================
Free Code Camp is an open-source community where you learn to code and help nonprofits.
You start by working through our self-paced, browser-based full stack JavaScript curriculum.
After you complete the first 400 hours worth of challenges (which involves building 10 single-page apps), you'll earn your Front End Development Certification.
After you complete the second 400 hours worth of challenges (which involves building and deploying 5 full stack apps), you'll earn your Full Stack Development Certification.
Then we'll pair you with another camper, an agile project manager, and a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization. Together, you'll plan and build an app that helps that nonprofit carry out its mission more effectively.
Free Code Camp is a friendly open-source community where you learn to code and help nonprofits.
**We help our campers build job-worthy portfolios of real apps used by real people, while helping nonprofits.**
You start by working through our self-paced, browser-based full stack JavaScript curriculum.
### By working through our curriculum, you can earn four certifications:
##### 1. Front End Certification
The first section will teach you the basics of how webpages work and also introduce you to JavaScript programming.
Skills you'll practice include `HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery` and `Bootstrap`.
To earn this certification you'll build **10 front-end projects** and implement many **JavaScript algorithms**
##### 2. Data Visualization Certification
The second section builds upon the first and introduce you to more advanced topics such as `Sass, React` and `D3`.
To earn this certification you'll build **5 React-apps** and **5 Data visualization apps** using `D3.js`.
##### 3. Back End Certification
The third section introduces you to back end development using `Node.js, Express, MongoDB` but also teach you about the important concept of source control using `Git`.
To earn this certification you'll build **5 API:s** and **5 full stack JavaScript apps**.
##### 4. Full Stack Certification
The fourth section is where you'll get **real world experience** by working on projects for **Non-profits**.
We'll pair you with another camper, an agile project manager, and a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization. Together, you'll plan, build and maintain apps that helps that nonprofit carry out its mission more effectively.
For this certification you'll work on **two projects from scratch** and then **maintain/upgrade two existing projects**.
