What freeCodeCamp is

freeCodeCamp is a free learning platform where people build coding skills through projects and self-paced lessons. Learners work through challenges in a browser, code editor, or mobile app, with material covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Bash, SQL, and computer science topics. Its public curriculum includes thousands of videos, articles, and interactive lessons. Learners can earn free verified certifications; each takes around 300 hours of dedicated learning, and the challenges do not have to be completed in a fixed order. The iOS and Android apps sync study progress with a freeCodeCamp account. Beyond the curriculum, the community uses a publication, YouTube channel, and forum, and freeCodeCamp says these resources help more than 1 million people every day. Users can sign in with GitHub or Google, control the privacy of portfolio details, download their data in JSON format, or delete personal data or their account. The project is open source under the BSD-3 license.
