<h4>What is freeCodeCamp?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We’re a community that helps you learn to code, then get
|
||
experience by contributing to open source projects used by
|
||
nonprofits.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>How can you help me learn to code?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You'll learn to code by completing coding challenges and building
|
||
projects. You'll also earn verified certifications along the way.
|
||
We also encourage you to join a study group in your city so you
|
||
can code in-person with other people.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp really free?</h4>
|
||
<p>Yes. Every aspect of freeCodeCamp is 100% free.</p>
|
||
<h4>Can freeCodeCamp help me get a job as a software developer?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes. Every year, thousands of people who join the freeCodeCamp
|
||
community get their first software developer job. If you're
|
||
curious, you can{' '}

</Link>
|
||

|
||
technology.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp a nonprofit?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes, we are a 501(c)(3){' '}
|
||
<Link to='/donate'>donor-supported public charity</Link>. You can{' '}

<h4>
|
||
Does freeCodeCamp accept donations in Bitcoin or other crypto
|
||
currencies?
|
||
</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes. Our cryptographically signed wallet details are{' '}

</p>
|
||
<h4>
|
||
How long will it take me to finish each of freeCodeCamp's
|
||
certifications?
|
||
</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Each certification takes around 300 hours of dedicated learning.
|
||
Some people may take longer. These certifications are completely
|
||
self-paced, so take as long as you need.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp a coding bootcamp?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
No. A lot of coding bootcamps use freeCodeCamp as part of their
|
||
curriculum, though.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Is freeCodeCamp a replacement for a 4-year degree?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
No. Please don’t drop out of college just to pursue freeCodeCamp.
|
||
You can pursue both concurrently. Even though you don’t need a
|
||
4-year degree to work as a software developer, it still helps a
|
||
lot.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Should I complete all of the coding challenges in order?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We’ve put a lot of thought into how we introduce concepts. But
|
||
you’re free to jump around.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Do I have to use CodePen for the front end projects?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
As long as your code is publicly viewable somewhere on the
|
||
internet, and you have a live demo, you can use whatever tools you
|
||
want.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>How did freeCodeCamp get started?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<Link to='https://www.twitter.com/ossia'>Quincy</Link> started the
|
||
freeCodeCamp community in 2014. He is now just one of thousands of
|
||
active contributors.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>
|
||
I'm a teacher. Is freeCodeCamp an appropriate resource for my
|
||
className?
|
||
</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes. Many high school, college, and adult ed programs incorporate
|
||
freeCodeCamp into their coursework. We're open source, so no
|
||
license or special permission from us is necessary. We're even
|
||
building special tools for teachers.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>
|
||
Can I live-stream myself working on freeCodeCamp challenges and
|
||
projects? Can I blog about how I solved them?
|
||
</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes. We welcome this. Also, don't be shy about "spoiling" projects
|
||
or challenges. The solutions to all of these challenges are
|
||
already all over the internet.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>
|
||
Can I create apps or tools based around the freeCodeCamp community
|
||
and platform?
|
||
</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes. freeCodeCamp is open source (BSD-3 license), and most
|
||
non-sensitive freeCodeCamp data is publicly available. But you
|
||
must make it clear that you don't represent freeCodeCamp itself,
|
||
and that your project is not officially endorsed by freeCodeCamp.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h4>Does freeCodeCamp have a mobile app?</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can learn on the go by listening to the{' '}

||

||

||

||
freeCodeCamp contributor and her team. You can download it on{' '}
