Learn to Code — For Free

Hey friends, I’m just here to plug Free Code Camp for anyone that wants to learn how to code! It’s a great resource that walks you through all the fundamentals from css to javascript to python. It’s 100% free and each course comes with a certificate of completion that you can use on your professional resume, too. Plus, it’s run by a nonprofit whose sole goal is to teach people how to code.

It’s a great place to start if you want to learn how to build your own skins, or how to build some cool scripts for your forums. Each course is ~300 hours, but it’s worth the time commitment. 

If you’re doing Free Code Camp, let me know and we can do some coding streaks together as I work through this javascript course!

Review: Mimo, Free Code Camp and Code Academy

Mimo

I came across a fun duolingo-style learning app for coding basics called Mimo. It covers the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript under the Web Development paths. There’s also a beginner path to learn Python.

Nothing beats writing your own code from scratch using an editor program on your computer, but this app is a nice supplementary tool for revision and an introduction to new tags and elements. They also offer a 30-day free trial which I’m currently doing, and as it’s on your phone it makes it so easy to do 20 minutes of coding a day, no excuses!

Above is an example of some code I wrote via the app which I can export and edit in Atom later.

Free Code Camp

I completed the Basic HTML and HTML5 course on Free Code Camp today.

I didn’t learn much more than I had already learned in class but it was a great revision exercise. It covers things like basic elements, nested elements, achors, images, links, lists, buttons, forms and check boxes.

The course doesn’t take that long to complete so I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to scrub up on the basics of HTML before moving onto CSS.

Code Academy 

Ok, so Code Acadmey is my new favourite HTML learning tool! Code Academy goes into more detail than Free Code Camp or Mimo. There are clear step-by-step instructions and very clear and comprehensive examples and explanations. I’m going to complete the rest of their Learn HTML Course over the weekend. I still have the Semantic HTML module to do.

Also, I’ve bookmarked this awesome HTML elements reference list.

Why I choose to become a front-end developer?

Yesterday I have completed my front end development at free code camp. I have learn a lot from HTML,CSS, JavaScript, React.JS, jQuery, Sass, and Bootstrap. I believe that this is God’s calling to start a new career. I am now working doing some coding projects to add in my portfolio. Also I am job ready to apply for jobs and/or getting clients.

When hard work pays off

I’m so happy right now because I have always wanted to be a web developer and now after two years of hard work I am beginning to grow and evolve into a capable designer and programmer! It has been such as long journey with plenty of bumps but it has all been worth it to get to this point. I am so happy with how my new portfolio website turned out!

JavaScript

JavaScript syntax is so familiar. It reminds me a lot of C++ but I assume most, if not all programming languages, look similar to that. I love how generalized variable declarations are in JavaScript as apposed to C++, though I also love the specifics of how you would declare them in C++.

One thing I don’t understand is how creating objects in JavaScript would be useful in web development. I understand how they would help in game development but not for websites. What do you think? I’m certainly no expert by any means in JavaScript or any language to be perfectly honest so I would love some input here. What are your thoughts on JavaScript, C++, HTML, or any web development or object oriented languages?

My quest to become a better programmer has led to me learning JavaScript. I’ve used it a little in the past, implanting functions created by others within websites, and I’ve done a few little challenges (without really understanding what I was doing). And then two weeks ago I came across Free Code Camp. This is a site that teaches you full stack development through over 2000 hours worth of tutorials and challenges, before encouraging you to put those skills to good use by playing with data in an Open Source for Good Section.

FCC is completely free, which is pretty awesome. And if you complete a section, you can get a lovely certificate. According to their site, over six thousand developers have gotten their first job.

I am really enjoying the way it teaches you code, gradually introducing new ideas and testing you over and over. I tried some more advanced tutorials in the past, and while I understood what I was doing, I didn’t really get it, whereas with FCC I’m really getting the hang of it.

At the moment, I’m going through some Basic Algorithm Scripting challenges and I’m so happy with how well I’m doing. I’m not the cleanest or tidiest programmer yet, but I am managing to solve the problems, which is awesome.

So far over the last two weeks, I’ve completed 239 individual tasks and 75 hours of programming. It’s not taken me that long; I went over a lot of things I already knew in the HTML5, CSS, and Bootstrap sections. But if I continue to power through, I might be able to get the Front End Certificate by the end of September. I’ve been doing a couple of hours each evening, around my other work, so it’s looking good.
