Let's cover computer security. The first thing we're going to talk about is something called a dictionary attack which has to do with your passwords. When creating your passwords, some sites require extremely specific and complicated passwords, which is actually a bit unnecessary. The type of attacks they're trying to gaurd you from are dictionary attacks. Dictionary attacks are programmed to try every word in the dictionary, or in its own database of common words and passwords, as the password for a large mass of usernames. If your password is Kangaroo, they're probably going to break into your account. Most passwords aren't this simple, but that doesn't matter. They attack such a massive amount of accounts that they only need a few passwords that are relatively simple. When creating a password, you want to use different cases, numbers, and symbols, but one of the most effective ways to create a good password is to throw some random letters in there (ex: kangarooSyCA67). Also, stay away from sequential numbers. Phishing, another thing to watch out for, is emails or webpages that mimic other valid sites to try and trick people into entering their personal information, though the site truly isn't connected to the site it's trying to mimic. In general, two ways to safeguard from these attacks are checking the address in the browser and to open a new browser and go to the website that is claiming to contact you. Let's also discuss encryption and HTTPS. If you are at Starbucks trying to access your bank account, you have reason to be suspicious that someone could see and take your information. You will want to look for a green HTTPS instead of HTTP at the beginning of the web address. That means that the site you're sending your information to is encrypting your passwords and other information, scrambling up data according to a code that only they know. In general, whenever you're showing private or sensitive information, check for HTTPS. A few other general tips: don't share passwords between important accounts. If a site you use gets hacked into, your password may be compromised regardless of its strength. Also, don't download strange files. If you don't recognise the file type like .pdf, .txt, .jpg, be wary. Some of these files you download can be very powerful and even run your computer from the inside. Lastly, keep your software updated, particularly software that interacts with the internet. One way that information can be compromised is when 'bad guys' find holes and gaps in security of older versions of softwares. Those bugs have been patched in newer versions, so if you keep everything updated, you'll avoid lots of problems.

  1. For cash-up-front bootcamps, we assumed an APR of 6% and a term of 3 years.

  4. The most substantial cost for most people is lost wages. A 40-hour-per-week job at the US Federal minimum wage would pay at least $15,000 per year. You can read more about economic cost here.

  5. Free Code Camp. We don't charge tuition or garnish wages. We're fully online so you don't have to move. We're self-paced so you don't have to quit your job. Thus, your true cost of attending Free Code Camp will be $0.

", - "

Building nonprofit projects is the main way that our campers learn full stack JavaScript and agile software development. Once you complete the Free Code Camp Waypoints, Bonfires, Ziplines and Basejumps, you'll begin this process.

", - "

Starting with the end in mind

", - "

Our goal at Free Code Camp is to help you land a job as a junior software developer (or, if you prefer, a 'pivot job' that leads your current career in a more technical direction).

", - "

You'll continue to work on nonprofit projects until you've built a sufficiently impressive portfolio and references to start your job search. Your portfolio will ultimately have three to five nonprofit projects. We estimate that the 900 hours of nonprofit projects you're going to complete, in addition to the 100 hours of challenges you've already completed, will be enough to qualify you for your first coding job. This will produce a much broader portfolio than a traditional coding bootcamp, which generally only has one or two capstone projects.

", - "

Choosing your first Nonprofit Project

", - "

We've categorized all the nonprofit projects by estimated time investment per camper: 100 hours, 200 hours, and 300 hours. These are only rough estimates.

", - "

Example: if you and the camper you're paired up with (your pair) each stated you could work 20 hours per week. If the project is a 100 hour per camper project, you should be able to complete it in about 5 weeks.

", - "

Our Nonprofit Project team will match you and your pair based on:

", - "

", - "

    ", - "
  1. Your estimated time commitment (10, 20 or 40 hours per week)
    2. ", - "
  2. Your time zone
    3. ", - "
  3. The nonprofit projects you've chosen
    4. ", - "
  4. Prior coding experience (we'd like both campers to be able to contribute equally)
    5. ", - "
", - "

", - "

We won't take age or gender into account. This will provide you with valuable experience in meshing with diverse teams, which is a reality of the contemporary workplace.

", - "

You'll only work on one project at a time. Once you start a nonprofit project, we'll remove you from all other nonprofit project you've expressed interest in. There's a good chance those projects will no longer be available when you finish your current project, anyway. Don't worry, though - we get new nonprofit project requests every day, so there will be plenty more projects for you to consider after you finish your current one.

", - "

Finalizing the Project

", - "

Before you can start working on the project, our team of Nonprofit Project Coordinators will go through the following process:

", - "

", - "

    ", - "
  1. We'll wait until there are two campers who have chosen the same project and look like they're a good match for one another based on the factors mentioned above.
    2. ", - "
  2. We'll call the stakeholder to confirm once again that he or she agrees with our  terms  and has signed our  Nonprofit Project Stakeholder Pledge.
    3. ", - "
  3. We'll set an initial meeting with representatives from Free Code Camp, the two campers, and the stakeholder.
    4. ", - "
  4. If the stakeholder and both campers shows up promptly, and seem enthusiastic and professional, we'll start the project.
    5. ", - "
", - "

", - "

This lengthy process serves an important purpose: it reduces the likelihood that any of our campers or stakeholders will waste their precious time.

", - "

Nonprofit Stakeholders

", - "

Each nonprofit project was submitted by a nonprofit. A representative from this nonprofit has agreed to serve as a \"stakeholder\" - an authorative person who understands the organization and its needs for this particular project.

", - "

Stakeholders have a deep understanding of their organizations' needs. Campers will work with them to figure out the best solutions to these needs.

", - "

When you and your pair first speak with your nonprofit stakeholder, you'll:

", - "

", - "

    ", - "
  • talk at length to better understand their needs.
    • ", - "
  • create a new Trello board and use it to prioritize what needs to be built.
    • ", - "
  • and establish deadlines based on your weekly time commitment, and how long you think each task will take.
    • ", - "
", - "

", - "

It's notoriously difficult to estimate how long building software projects will take, so feel free to ask our volunteer team for help.

", - "

You'll continue to meet with your stakeholder at least twice a month in your project's Gitter channel.

", - "

You should also ask questions in your project's Gitter channel as they come up throughout the week, and your stakeholder can answer them asynchronously.

", - "

Getting \"blocked\" on a task can take away your sense of forward momentum, so be sure to proactively seek answers to any ambiguities you encounter.

", - "

Ultimately, the project will be considered complete once both the stakeholder's needs have been met, and you and your pair are happy with the project. Then you can add it to your portfolio!

", - "

Working with your Pair

", - "

You and your pair will pair program (code together on the same computer virtually) about half of the time, and work independently the other half of the time.

", - "

Here are our recommended ways of collaborating:

", - "

", - "

    ", - "
  • • Gitter has robust private messaging functionality. It's the main way our team communicates, and we recommend it over email.
    • ", - "
  • • Trello is great for managing projects. Work with your stakeholder to create Trello cards, and update these cards regularly as you make progress on them.
    • ", - "
  • • Screenhero or Team Viewer - These are the ideal way to pair program. Tools like TMUX are good, but difficult to use. We discourage you from using screen sharing tools where only one person has control of the keyboard and mouse - that isn't real pair programming.
    • ", - "
  • • Write clear and readable code, commit messages, branch names, and pull request messages.
    • ", - "
", - "

", + "

Building nonprofit projects is the main way that our campers learn full stack JavaScript and agile software development. Once you complete the Free Code Camp Waypoints, Bonfires, Ziplines and Basejumps, you'll begin this process.

", + "

Starting with the end in mind

", + "

Our goal at Free Code Camp is to help you land a job as a junior software developer (or, if you prefer, a 'pivot job' that leads your current career in a more technical direction).

", + "

You'll continue to work on nonprofit projects until you've built a sufficiently impressive portfolio and references to start your job search. Your portfolio will ultimately have three to five nonprofit projects. We estimate that the 900 hours of nonprofit projects you're going to complete, in addition to the 100 hours of challenges you've already completed, will be enough to qualify you for your first coding job. This will produce a much broader portfolio than a traditional coding bootcamp, which generally only has one or two capstone projects.

", + "

Choosing your first Nonprofit Project

", + "

We've categorized all the nonprofit projects by estimated time investment per camper: 100 hours, 200 hours, and 300 hours. These are only rough estimates.

", + "

Example: if you and the camper you're paired up with (your pair) each stated you could work 20 hours per week. If the project is a 100 hour per camper project, you should be able to complete it in about 5 weeks.

", + "

Our Nonprofit Project team will match you and your pair based on:

", + "

", + "

    ", + "
  1. Your estimated time commitment (10, 20 or 40 hours per week)
    2. ", + "
  2. Your time zone
    3. ", + "
  3. The nonprofit projects you've chosen
    4. ", + "
  4. Prior coding experience (we'd like both campers to be able to contribute equally)
    5. ", + "
", + "

", + "

We won't take age or gender into account. This will provide you with valuable experience in meshing with diverse teams, which is a reality of the contemporary workplace.

", + "

You'll only work on one project at a time. Once you start a nonprofit project, we'll remove you from all other nonprofit project you've expressed interest in. There's a good chance those projects will no longer be available when you finish your current project, anyway. Don't worry, though - we get new nonprofit project requests every day, so there will be plenty more projects for you to consider after you finish your current one.

", + "

Finalizing the Project

", + "

Before you can start working on the project, our team of Nonprofit Project Coordinators will go through the following process:

", + "

", + "

    ", + "
  1. We'll wait until there are two campers who have chosen the same project and look like they're a good match for one another based on the factors mentioned above.
    2. ", + "
  2. We'll call the stakeholder to confirm once again that he or she agrees with our  terms  and has signed our  Nonprofit Project Stakeholder Pledge.
    3. ", + "
  3. We'll set an initial meeting with representatives from Free Code Camp, the two campers, and the stakeholder.
    4. ", + "
  4. If the stakeholder and both campers shows up promptly, and seem enthusiastic and professional, we'll start the project.
    5. ", + "
", + "

", + "

This lengthy process serves an important purpose: it reduces the likelihood that any of our campers or stakeholders will waste their precious time.

", + "

Nonprofit Stakeholders

", + "

Each nonprofit project was submitted by a nonprofit. A representative from this nonprofit has agreed to serve as a \"stakeholder\" - an authorative person who understands the organization and its needs for this particular project.

", + "

Stakeholders have a deep understanding of their organizations' needs. Campers will work with them to figure out the best solutions to these needs.

", + "

When you and your pair first speak with your nonprofit stakeholder, you'll:

", + "

", + "

    ", + "
  • talk at length to better understand their needs.
    • ", + "
  • create a new Trello board and use it to prioritize what needs to be built.
    • ", + "
  • and establish deadlines based on your weekly time commitment, and how long you think each task will take.
    • ", + "
", + "

", + "

It's notoriously difficult to estimate how long building software projects will take, so feel free to ask our volunteer team for help.

", + "

You'll continue to meet with your stakeholder at least twice a month in your project's Gitter or Slack channel.

", + "

You should also ask questions in your project's Gitter or Slack channel as they come up throughout the week, and your stakeholder can answer them asynchronously.

", + "

Getting \"blocked\" on a task can take away your sense of forward momentum, so be sure to proactively seek answers to any ambiguities you encounter.

", + "

Ultimately, the project will be considered complete once both the stakeholder's needs have been met, and you and your pair are happy with the project. Then you can add it to your portfolio!

", + "

Working with your Pair

", + "

You and your pair will pair program (code together on the same computer virtually) about half of the time, and work independently the other half of the time.

", + "

Here are our recommended ways of collaborating:

", + "

", + "

    ", + "
  • • Gitter has robust private messaging functionality. It's the main way our team communicates, and we recommend it over email.
    • ", + "
  • • Trello is great for managing projects. Work with your stakeholder to create Trello cards, and update these cards regularly as you make progress on them.
    • ", + "
  • • Screenhero or Team Viewer - These are the ideal way to pair program. Tools like TMUX are good, but difficult to use. We discourage you from using screen sharing tools where only one person has control of the keyboard and mouse - that isn't real pair programming.
    • ", + "
  • • Write clear and readable code, commit messages, branch names, and pull request messages.
    • ", + "
", + "

", + "

Hosting Apps

", + "

Unless your stakeholder has an existing modern host (AWS, Digital Ocean), you'll need to transition them over to a new platform. We believe Heroku is the best choice for a vast majority of web projects. It's free, easy to use, and has both browser and command line interfaces.
