Free Code Camp

Actually I do not see cons of attending this program, unless and until anyone have problem with the accent with which they teach.Otherwise the way they teach really good,they get into the core concepts,make us understand each and every part of the program.... Read More

Cons: Limited Topics

Pros:

The learning units (called challenges) are outstanding. I can't say enough nice things about them. One proceeds at his/her own pace. The challenges have helpful hints. You can make as many attempts as you want. Each attempt tells... Read More you what test cases are not working. You get instant feedback. Your answers continue to be available online for you to review and improve upon if you choose to. The whole experience is very pleasant. You can also ask for help on their forums. (I haven't had much need to do so, so far.)

Super duper outstanding is how I feel about this online learning resource.

I feel so blessed to have found Free Code Camp.

I am a working junior database programmer with a generalist IT degree who wants to train-up to "junior" level in another skill.

I'm not the "just play around on Project Euler" self-structured type. Full-stack... Read More web development seemed to be a nice concrete goal with "courses" available, so I've been looking into resources to learn it.

I've been jealous of the pedagogy and "homework" my friends at coding bootcamps receive - but have no interest in leaving my fulfilling job.

Team Treehouse was tempting - but $25/month was costly for my level of commitment ("here and there, when the weather's bad").

Checking out books at the library is free - but not going to make me a full-stack web programmer, ever.

I couldn't be happier about discovering Free Code Camp today. It is everything I want out of a full-stack web development "school," at a price and pace appropriate to my life circumstances.

I can't believe this wonderful resource exists, but am eternally grateful that it does. Well done, FCC.

tl;dr I got a good coding job without having to move about half way through Free Code Camp.

I've tried pretty much everything online. Here's why Free Code Camp is - in my subjective assessment - way better than everywhere else (at least for web development)... Read More

- it's self-paced. I had major surgery in the middle of my studies, and it had no impact what-so-ever. When I came back, Free Code Camp was waiting for me, with tons of new lessons.

- the community is helpful. It's scary how helpful the other campers were. I felt like I should be tipping them they were so helpful. I was rarely stuck on something for more than a few minutes.

- it's free. I don't know how they manage to be better than everyone else and still be free. I think they're gearing up to be the next big thing, and don't really care about money in the short term.

I recommend skipping paid online resources and going straight to this.
