 =======================
 
-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.
