Welcome to freeCodeCamp's forum

My name is Leticia Massa, 29 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I am learning how to code because I want to have a job on which I can work with a flexible schedule and from anywhere. I also enjoy doing it.

I have been learning CSS and HTML. Hope to go forward with the FreeCodeCamp program.

Hello everyone!

I am a first year Electrical Engineering student at Iowa State Universtiy. Up until recently my plan was to find a job in power systems focusing on renewable energy. However, recently I have found myself very interested in travel. I would like a job where I could work remotely from my laptop, and travel the world. I haven’t decided if I will change my major to computer or software engineering quite yet. For now I will be spending my free time progressing through FCC’s courses to see if I like it. Nice to meet you all!

Hello
I’m Aaron. I’m new to freeCodeCamp - I’ve been doing C++ and java coding for awhile but I’m mostly new
to the front end side of the house. I’m looking forward to the non-profit coding aspects of the camp.

Hi. This is Daniel. I’m new to the camp and the forum. I was interested in coding for years but finally decided to commit to learn it. I’m confident it will open up multiple career options for a more satisfying and secure future. Besides Free Code Camp I’ve also been learning skills such as Java and SQL with Codecademy, Revature, and on YouTube, to name a few.

Hi
Everybody
My name is Asim Al-Bakali
I software engineering and have mastered in that
but I am a beginner in programming So I try to complete my circle with computer world
thank you all for supporting me in this field

Hi everyone. I’m Rachel. I came across freeCodeCamp from someone on Twitter (sorry, I don’t remember who it was) that had said they were tired of code.org and they wanted to learn some real code.

I teach a STEM class to elementary students, and a big part of what we’ve done so far is computer science. I’ve used Code.org, Kodable, Code Combat, and Codecademy to teach coding to youngsters.

I’m intrigued by it, and I wanted to learn more, so voila!

I’ve gone through the 20-hour basic courses on code.org, and have gone through the HTML/CSS free material on Codecademy. Using freeCodeCamp has been so much better, though! :slight_smile:
I’m just about to start the jQuery section in the map (which is when I imagine most people post here).

Thanks for being part of my journey!

Hey everyone

I’m Chris from middle of nowhere Wyoming.

I’m learning to code because I opened this can of worms a few months ago and simply cannot put the lid back on. I’ve built a few smaller sites with Wordpress, never actually taking the time to learn how to code them just using their builders. Once I started taking Udemy classes I was completely hooked. I started free code camp to fill up a portfolio and start freelancing. The end goal of all of this is to have a career, on my own terms, in a field that I find so fascinating!

Cheers everyone.

Helloing!

I’m a 25 year old drop-out/freelancer based in Toronto, Canada. I used to be in school for Film Studies and Classical History, on the way to become a teacher, until the day I realized that that wasn’t my calling. I’ve been coding since I was 10, self-taught, but haven’t gone past HTML and CSS since then on AsianAvenue days.

I’d like to officially learn how to code and understand what I’m actually doing, instead of Googling phrases and pasting equations mindlessly. Maybe even be more successful in the freelancing realm, eventually make my own agency? Leaving it up to the gods.

I’d love to be able to travel with my work though. That would be really great.

Best wishes to everybody!

This give me so much pain. Cause I have lack of knowledge about programming.
Now I found this website so helpful and guided. I love this work.
Hopefully this camp can bring me that dream which I am dreaming.
I dont think any of this camp is exist in the world.
I cant say any words how much I grateful to learning and sharpen me through this camp.
I only can say Thank you.
Keep it up. and help people like us who are got frightened in their first stage of programming classes.
May Allah give you strength and power to run this camp.

Hi.

I am Ashton, I’m learning web programming because it’s probably the easiest way to get a remote programming job and pays well. I’ve been having an easy time learning, considering I’ve been working with (off and on) web programming already.

I’m really excited to see if I can stick to this and clear it. I’m looking forward to working with nonprofits and hopefully getting my hands on a tasty job.

Cheers everyone :slight_smile:

Hi everybody!

My name is David. I have been looking to break into a coding career for a few years now. A friend of mine who works in the industry recommended FreeCodeCamp to me. So far, it has been a great experience. Other coding tutorials I have done in the past have always been set up in a way that only teaches how to do things correctly. FreeCodeCamp seems to also teach why the code works. Its the difference between ā€˜knowledge’ and ā€˜understanding’. I really appreciate it.

Helloi,
I’m Louis Masic from Columbus Georgia.
I’m an COBOL programmer learning web development to extend my skill set.

Hi, my name is Michael. Many years ago I learned and used HTML, JS, and Java. But that was a long time ago. And, unfortunately, I got out of that - which I regret. So, now, I’m trying to relearn, refresh, and renew my skills in the hope to change my career.

Hi, I am a newbie to the FCC community. I have been trying to learn how to code over the past 4 months or so. I have be using online programs such as this to learn how to code. I will start a 6 week in class bootcamp next week which I am very excited about. I will take what I learn from FCC and the bootcamp to launch my career as a Frontend Developer.

Hello! I’m Alejandra from Costa Rica, Business Administration student at the moment.
I’ve always wanted to learn to code but never dared until now. I want to make a super awesome and cool-looking website for myself and other people.
I started a few months ago through CodeAcademy and Coursera, but now that I’ve found freeCodeCamp I absolutely love it.
I’m more motivated than ever, so hopefully I can keep going at it with the same energy and building a habit :slight_smile:

Hi, my name is Philip, I’m a software engineer from Canada, and I know you’re asking - why am I here if I’m already a working software professional?

I’ve had lots of varied programming assignments over the past 15 years, from coding in C++, to Perl, to Python, to XML and XSLT (go look up that one), to hacking around with Ruby on Rails. But the first time I really ā€œgotā€ programming was writing JavaScript back in the early 00’s, and I’ve always wanted to get back to web programming.

I haven’t done any meaningful web programming for more than 10 years, and a LOT has changed since then, especially with the rise of JavaScript everywhere, the MEAN stack, and so on. I felt out of touch, and wanted to find some kind of tutorial or MOOC for learning all this crazy new stuff. I tried a few different places, but they were buggy, outdated, incomplete, etc. Then I got started with FreeCodeCamp and I haven’t stopped in two days!

FCC blends instruction, hands-on coding and rapid feedback in a well structured, easy to follow and at times for me mind-blowing study plan.

I hope to make some new friends, and share what I’ve learned about the software world with others!

Hi Campers,
I am Gani, a PhD student at UAB. I have a working experience with a few Statistical software (SAS, R, Stata, ArcGIS). I recently started learning to code as I am planning to become a data scientist.
Thank you

hi,
My name is Arun. I am working as a PHP developer. I am interested in programming and problem solving. But somewhere I find that I need to hone my skills more, so as to code more confidently and efficiently, This is why I joined this forum. I have been learning to code from various tutorials available on the internet. My aim to get better at coding has led me here.

Thanks.

Hi. I am Ryan

I am a student majoring in economics.

I am learning to code because I feel it is necessary to have some background in coding.

I Would also like to be able to incorporate coding into my major and use it in the real world.

I am learning to code through FreeCodeAcademy and also looking into some online courses to learn python or other courses. I don’t know how much HTML will help me in the real world. I have been reading that java is the #1 computer language in demand.
