Just started day one of my journey on code camp today. I put a lot of time in and my head is spinning, but I’m loving it so far. I’m tired of my doing call centers and customer service work, and want to develop more skills and learn something new in hopes of a different career path. Can’t wait to see where I am in the next year or so!

[@jamalfitch7849]

Is it still fun or has it started becoming like work? Thinking of starting my journey.

[@westwind6272]

Same as me. I started free code camp a month ago for a change in career path. Definitely taking it nice and easy but it can be challenging at times. I’m still in the responsive web design phase and I’m aiming to complete the entire front end certifications before the year ends.

[@MasWasThere]

@@jamalfitch7849 it’s still fun, I’m thinking because it’s not like work and it’s something that I enjoy learning on the side. I did start a new job recently and have not been able to put as much time into it as I’d like. But it’ll be totally worth it in the long run imo

[@MasWasThere]

@@westwind6272 that’s awesome, I’ve only just completed CSS about a week ago due to a new job and a change of schedule. Trying to find my grove again. Good luck to you on your journey!

[@ddavis5631]

Freecodecamp is a lot more enjoyable and hands-on than Codecademy in my opinion, I recommend it. I love it, you also have a ton of opportunities to earn certifications and build your own projects.

[@murch5054]

FCC is still relevant. VERY relevant. one example: I watched their ms900 full course video.. took the test and passed it on the first try.

[@theadventureofdodong3495]

I also used freecodecamp for my self study in web dev. One thing that i like in free code camp is that it is a project based approach and will help you to have a general understanding in programming. I also noticed specially in html and css tutorials that some of the tags or elements are not tackled on the tutorial, i think it is because what they teach are only those elements or tags that people in the industry used in daily basis. So for that i used other references like w3schools. Please bear with me my english is not good, but i hope you guys get my point.

[@SadMark011]

I mean if someone tries to learn all the little things present in HTML and CSS they will never get past them, it is better to learn the basics of most commonly used tags and learn others as and when you encounter them in projects Once you get familiar with programming, learning through documentation becomes easier and usually the best option

[@MarcusHCrawford]

FCC has contributed immensely to open source education. Though courses vary in quality, and their online courses aren’t as up to date as their videos, that FCC offers a comprehensive course structure for full stack engineers is amazing. Odin and FCC are great resources.

[@MatDGVLL]

Yes for me FCC is mostly good free course videos but their platform is not good now and the Front End course (specially the React one) is waaay too outdated

[@HeyIntegrity]

So what do you recommend supplementing with it?

[@jayweathers2701]

@@MatDGVLLI started on FCC yesterday and have completed about 15 hours and I’m on the first project of basic web dev course Do you have any recommendations for me? Should I finish web dev and java courses to get a good look at css,html and java or should I move my focus somewhere else. Thanks!!!

[@juandager5220]

tldr:YES! Start now! Tomorrow is always too late...

[@Gleichtritt]

I started with it a few days ago to prepare for university. I will start in fall with studying Informatics. What I find hard in that course, is that every step is quite easy, but I also quickly forget the knowledge of previous lessons. Also some terms are just not noob friendly explained. Like "Use this attribute to assiciate the checkbox with blabla". I mean, okay yes I can do it, but what exactly does "assosiate" mean in this case? The whole thing looks the same as before and I understand that it must have a purpose - but what EXACTLY is it doing? If such things would be explained a bit better in the lessons already, I would always understand WHY I have to do, what I have to do and THAT would make it easier to remember things. Right now I am doing many things, which seem to be easy to do, but I would not be able to recreate the HTML page I just made.

[@jsc8345]

[@abrahamfrago3728]

That why he said that this aims you to be self taught which is completely necessary for any developer. We're not machines so we can act like them.

[@MarvinMeinel]

I will start tomorrow I'm chronically ill and can barely leave the house and after all the tips I've seen now on how someone like me can make money I think the best way is to learn coding and not trading I'll start with 2 hours and if I don't act stupid I'll increase that to 8-10 hours a day and then I'll finally have something to do every day. I hope this will give me a small chance to feel normal with a job like other people despite my situation

[@Rootvik.]

That’s an incredible mindset! Starting with 2 hours and building up sounds like a solid plan. You’re taking a big step toward something meaningful-wishing you all the best on this journey! You’ve got this! 🙌

[@brianromer9761]

[@naveenairani]

It's worth it but doesn't make you a great programmer, you will learn basics

[@Wisdawms]

yup it's only just the basics really and there's even some things he doesn't touch on, so don't expect to learn EVERYTHING by watching it but I would definitely recommend it if you want a good headstart.

[@TheAntarcticaProject]

Codecademy vs Freecodecamp?

[@MianAbdullah-rt1xl]

i cant motivate myself even if its free

[@khaihoang7420]

imo fcc is not bad but it gave me a false sense of achievement. Like the courses are designed in a way that you can just quickly rush through everything to get certs. However, you will end up with knowledge gaps. Just my opinion

[@mateusvidal3187]

Hey Daniel! Many Thanks for sharing this video! What you think about learn with free code camp guys just on youtube videos? is there any content difference?

[@Daniel-Dann]

I think the website will be better. Use their youtube channel for additional guidance.

[@jeremiahbullfrog9288]

I would have to agree, the website is far better. The guided exercises provide a "Make it a game" experience with short-attention challenges and frequent dopamine hits. You can skip any exercise that you want (although this is not encouraged, for good reason) and the every step will start with the previous step completed. Learning from tutorial videos requires more self-motivation.

[@sankisuchiang1183]

Where do i interact with experience developers?

[@Prxdlxst]

I believe free code camp gotten rid of some certs? I was taking Javascript in March of last year. Now it's unavailable it's forcing me to learn responsive web design

[@IYAOYAS6969]

I tried this and this is HARD for beginners.

[@dr.graverobberowo5959]

As a beginner like I legit started yesterday on my cat photo app yeah it’s rough. Asking me about setting the src value to some bs lol but now I’ve past that issue and am almost done with my cat photo app. First pc ever owned at 26 never too late to start if u want it just put the hours into it

[@dr.graverobberowo5959]

Just because it’s hard doesn’t make it not for beginners. It’s supposed to be hard when we start homie

[@IYAOYAS6969]

yeah, Im still going to keep trying.@@dr.graverobberowo5959

[@fernandomarquez3093]

Anything can be hard when you are first learning. When I first tried FreeCodeCamp it took me a while to understand how to do the Cat Photo App. I didn't care how long a project takes me. If anything that is part of the fun of this course. My first real objective was getting familiar with the basic tools every programmer needs to know. It's like learning how to read. First you start with the letters of the alphabet, how they sound and put words together. Later you learn sentences. I recommend doing the projects at least once or twice maybe a couple of times just to understand the basics and how they work. When I get stuck KZbin is a big help. As I go through the course I have my own study notes for all new material. As you progress through the courses it will get a lot easier. Your first real objective should not be finishing the projects, but just understanding how and when to use the proper tools. Practice makes perfect!

If I dedicate 6 hours daily for the next two months learning scientific programming with python on freecodecamp, then is it possible to make a little bit of money online part time? like 75 to 100 dollars?

[@jeffreybortolin8274]

I find it useful for testing your knowledge, but as for learning new concepts? Hell no. They are terrible at explaining things and normally the instructions are just "Write this code" with no explanation of what it is doing. I learn more from watching youtubers go through the course cause they'll actually explain things to you. They also love to bring up things they touched one in one step 4 projects ago (or sometimes not at all!) and expect you to know it. It's free so can't complain too much I guess, but I'm basically teaching myself by looking up how to do the things they ask. Then they ask me for money! That's not happening. Basically its no better (actually worse) than watching youtube tutorials. Just use it as a guide to not get stuck in tutorial hell.

The certifiques of the site are actually valuable for a job?

[@mavrick552]

from my reasearch it seems like it's better than nothing, but nowhere near the value of a computer science degree, the value from FCC seems to come from the knowledge itself that you can later use to build your portfolio of real world projects you have done and this is worth more than even a computer science degree in the eyes of many employers
