I’m excited to share that we are still full steam ahead on our efforts to complete the Full Stack Developer certification. While we do not have any estimated timelines for a full release, we are incrementally shipping new courses and lectures as they are ready.
In light of this, we have re-ordered the learning map that appears on our website to better call out the Full Stack curriculum. We encourage everyone to start going through these modules - they will take you a considerable amount of time.
If you wish to continue working through the (now-archived) previous curriculum, your progress has not been erased. You can absolutely continue going through these older challenges, you will just need to scroll down a little further on the map. However, I do want to caution that the archived content is no longer being actively updated, so for the latest and greatest information I encourage you to check out the Full Stack curriculum.
I hope you are as excited about this new learning path as I am! Happy Coding.
i was wondering. I thought i was buggin for a bit. I am in the middle of JavaScript stuff and thought you had just removed them for a bit. Thanks for your work but i want to finish the older curriculum first before i move on the new stuff. Also, seeing the main course not finished doesn’t give me hope. Its not a strike against you guys, just that seeing incomplete courses as a new user might turn people off maybe. I am also new and was happy to do the older finished courses
feel free to do the course you want. The JavaScript material is complete in the Full Stack Curriculum, we are now working on releating the front end libraries material
I’m excited to start the beta Full Stack Developer course but have noticed since doing so that all my streaks and daily progress aren’t logging correctly. My 25 day streak now says 4 days. Also I’ve coded for 7 of 7 days of the last week but my progress only shows 3.
thank you for your report, we are aware of the issue, it should be hopefully solved when next deployment happens. Your streak is safe, it’s a display issue.
the saving was allowed only for final projects, you can save the lab code to your browser local storage with Ctrl+S and you will find there when you return if you have not completed the lab yet
but saving the code to database for all labs would be a lot of space on the database, so it’s not something that is offered
TLDR: I want front end certs first to help obtain a job before diving into the back end. Does the full stack course provide certifications along the way for all of the sub-topics it convers? Or do I have to finish the whole thing just to get a single “full-stack” cert at the end? Wondering because I would happily switch to the full stack course If I can get my front end certs out of it. Otherwise I’ll just stick to the “old” courses in order to get front end certs.
I’m excited that the new curriculum has an updated path to become a full stack developer, and I want to complete it at some point. My only concern is that, right now I am trying to learn front end development in order to get a job, and then I want to dive into back end learning after that happens. Naturally, I’d like to isolate front end development until I can land a job, and then explore the back end. This course is advertised a “full stack developer” course, but replaced all of the front end certification courses. Does that mean that this full stack course provides all of those certifications? Or does it only provide the full stack cert. Like I said in my TLDR, I’d rather do the “archived” courses to get specific certs for front end work, rather than one giant course that I’d have to get all the way to the end of in order to have “proof of completion”. Writing this at work so I hope it’s coherent. Thank you to whoever takes the time to read this book and reply.
The full stack cert only offers one cert upon completion of everything not many. With that said, our industry only looks at your projects and your knowledge over certs.
The self taught developers who have learned to code and gotten developer jobs (including myself) only had employers look at our projects and gave us technical assessments to see if we could do the job. They didn’t look at the certs themselves.
You should use the full stack curriculum to gain the knowledge and practice needed so you can get your first job.
This curriculum will have a section at the end on tips for getting a job which quincy will do the videos for. But in the mean time, here is a link to his book which outlines how to get a job as a self taught developer.
If you have a question about a specific challenge as it relates to your written code for that challenge and need some help, click the Get Help > Ask for Help button located on the challenge.
The Ask for Help button will create a new topic with all code you have written and include a link to the challenge also. You will still be able to ask any questions in the post before submitting it to the forum.
I want to use this opportunity to thank you guys on freeCodeCamp team for doing a great job. I completed the Responsive Web Design certification on March 25, 2025 but I observed that three(3) out of the five(5) project I built is not fully displayed on my account setting.
