This is what makes freeCodeCamp so special: they offer self-driven learners a high-quality technical education for free.īut some paid bootcamps do provide some value for learners. Some can cost tens of thousands of dollars for courses of uneven quality. I get really mad about expensive, exploitative programming bootcamps. If you want to skip right to enrollment, you can do so here. Now I'm working with Class Central to teach a free, part time, remote web development bootcamp based around freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design Certification.

So I self-taught my way into the industry but kept a watchful eye on these programs, wondering how existing high quality free resources could be used to offer bootcamp-like support for learners. These were newer concepts at the time: private educational programs promising you the skills to get you into a high-paying job for the low price of… well, far too much money.

When I wanted to get into tech, I latched onto the idea of a programming bootcamp. A long time ago, I was an educator who worked in special education and language education. You'll learn freeCodeCamp's entire Responsive Web Design certification, together with friendly people around the world. Now you can join a free part-time, remote coding bootcamp.
