Yeah, I am a beginner and freecodecamp is hard to understand sometimes. Like, what they want you to do is simple once you figure it out, but the way they word it makes it difficult.

I’ve been going thru all your videos. You are the chosen one. The story you have resonates well with me. 28 learning to code, high school dropout, haven’t really had a job or career path I’ve ever been proud of. I was making really good money in the oilfield but had to sacrifice my family, my relationship, and majority of my life working 17 hours a day. I want to code, I will learn to code. Thank you for the inspiration sir. I hope to meet you one day once I make it into coding.

It's refreshing to see content where you know the creator isn't grifting. It's pretty hard to grift on legitimate free resources.

I’m really into souls gaming because you have to explore and figure out things with very little info and I just started coding and I get that same rush once I figure how something works! I’ve been lost at dead end jobs but I honestly feel like I just found what might be for me!

I started following you since 1 week... But you're amazing

Start with fCC (beginner friendly), then introduce TOP into your learning plan. Note, you don't have to do them one after the other, slice & dice and build conceptual + practical expertise. Also, I highly use Anki flashcards to recall & help retain all atomic facts I learn along the way.

Thank you so much for this overview it really help me to understand how freecodecamp curriculam works.

I still remember the day when i just started learning Python and when I saw people's code on Stack Overflow, I literally get anxiety look at the code because I dont understand a thing and It was so over whelming but I did not quit and now when I even look at C language code I understand it even though I never learned C language.

I was trying to do a calculator for a lab at school, it took me WEEKS. I was never able to pulled it off, got the code from a class mate and I didn't understand Anything. Moving on, I go on to do other assignments and do ok. Then, I was finishing my final assignment yesterday, and I had to do 6 aps/projects. And I end up creating a small story telling game out of the nowhere which was pretty nice, turns out I am actually good at design for being a beginner, and I manage to do the calculator myself in less than 10 minutes 😂😂. I try and failed over 25 projects in youtube and online forums because the difficulty was too damned high, but in the process I actually learn a fair bit.

Can you please make a review of w3schools like this one? I'm a new subscriber to ur channel and I'm new to the programming field as well. I really enjoyed this review and I'm so motivated to keep going and keep learning.

it's important to understand that the certificate is worth zero and the idea is not to dodge any exercice to go faster to the certificate. You can rush the certificate in less than 10 hours using google and AI but you will not learn much. It is the process that is important and the repetitive tasks! Do some hours everyday and in a few months you will have a pretty decent skill to start doing beginner/junior work

QUESTION: Pretty much he recommends for a entry level front end developer, the first 3 topics 1)responsive web desing 2) javascript, 3) front end development . ?????? to be able to land a entry level position>??

To think you only went through only the first three curriculums on this free boot camp and got a job with it is insane. I can’t wait to start working on these projects for myself.

Hey Dorian, thank you for everything you are doing for the community and it's development. I know this is a dated video but do think this information still holds true to this day? Have you ever re-visited to the curriculum they offer in 2023?

Dorian, thanks a lot, you are doing a great job !

Do they have documentations to read or do I have to memorize what I did earlier on the exercises?

thanks for explaining this stuff man.

Awesome video! Do you have any videos on your actual journey to getting a job in dev???

This material is amazing and maks a lot of people clear path. Coding is a big topic and for begginers it's way to big. I wish this was when I starder to code;

you deserve million subscribers ... thanks for sharing this

Hi…i have a quick question…i’m planning to learn coding via freecodecamp….so…which course should i start first? Can I start with scientific computing with python?

Hi Dorian,Shoutout from East Africa pls keep up the good job you are doing somebody somewhere is benefiting big time from your work!. In the mean time would you please consider reviewing the Microverse online coding boot camp.

Thank you

Awesome info.

For people just starting out, I'd strongly recommend starting with free stuff online. If nothing else, it is important to make sure that you actually enjoy (or at least, don't hate) coding before you try to make a career out of it. After you've gotten your feet wet using some free resources, I don't think there's any one correct path. As with all education, there are good and bad programs that cost $$ out there. The good ones offer real upsides, including career support to help you get your foot in the door. Obviously the downside, even for the good programs, is that you have to pay. It is an investment that may or may not make sense, and there are definitely shady bootcamps out there. However, dismissing all paid coding instruction as a "cash grab" is... a wild exaggeration? Maybe that's just embellishment for clickbait / engagement - which I get is necessary for content creators, hate the game not the player, etc. - but in any event it isn't accurate. Personally, I found a coding bootcamp to be immensely helpful for changing careers. I've held a software development job for about four years and I am loving it. Others have had bad experiences at bootcamps and feel they could have gotten just as much from free resources. I would say, don't assume you _have_ to pay for instruction in order to get into coding as a career, but also, don't rule it out. Start with free resources online, and see how it goes from there. If you enjoy it, but feel like you hit a wall and need actual instruction in a more traditional classroom setting, there's no shame in that, and you should look into your options. You should definitely vet any programs before you sign up, though! Ask a lot of questions, do research, etc. If you feel like they are hard-selling you or rushing to get you signed up and paid, that's a red flag.

I agree with you Ryan...as a beginner myself I am trying to learn as much as possible before thinking about joining a bootcamp. - Dorian, what is your take/opinion on sites like Codecademy?

FreeCodeCamp is good. That being said how far should you go into it? Say if your interested in front and back end development how far should you go?

Hey, I was wondering which one is better to use to learn Web Development in 2023, TOP or FCC? I already know how to code in python, so I'm by no means a beginner. I see that TOP covers git and virtual environments, while Free Code camp goes more in depth... I'm not sure which one is better to use

Thanks for these review videos they are awesome! I have one question, and I know it’s loaded. I am just starting, do you recommend The Odin Project or Free Code Camp? Since I’ll invest probably 3-6 months what would you invest it in?

How do I choose which of these should I learn for front-end and which ones are the back-end

Hi Dorian. Is it possible to do the freecodecamp courses offline?

Great video.

Awesome content. Thanks as always. Have any experience in Unreals free online courses? Or know anyone who has done it and been successful?

Im doing free code camp right now. Still stuck on css and hmtl section , should i follow through with free code camp or just do the odin project instead? Or should i complete free code camp and then do odin project after? Please answer as im confused

Johnny SIns is here

If Johnny sins was a programmer

yeahhh 300 hundred hours for each of them. laaaawd. thats a lot of hours. well lets get it. nothing to it but to do it.

Someone please answer, is it shameful or it means that I am not a good coder if i can't solve tough algorithmic coding problems on site like codechef, leetcode , hackerrank etc. but I can make websites and web applications? Please!!

Hope become coder in 1 year

Do all the certifications really take 300 hours? To me it seems to take a lot less time if you work on it non stop

I just don't get this. I have watched multiple videos on freecodecamp. I have created an account. 1. I can't sign in. 2. They keep telling me they have sent me an email, though it never shows up in my email or spam folder. 3. I can't reach anybody in the organization either on line or on the phone. 4. I can't get on their forums. Very Frustrating.

love you

Yo!

can freeCodeCamp help you to be a software engineer?

I’m just wondering what the experience this guy have for instance the companies that he worked or working in. Like you know you must take your advice or anything from a suitable person. I didn’t find anything on his LinkedIn so he is just a guy who can’t get into the industry and just open a KZfaq channel to cover that and to feel good about his wasted time or what I’m looking for answers and I wish that I’m wrong about him because I really liked what he tried to do.
