In the past year, I've bounced around among multiple online tutorials, and paid online coding schools. I've finally settled on Free Code Camp (www.freecodecamp.com) - an open sourced free program that has 2,000+ hours of instructions, lessons, challenges, and a vibrant, helpful community for when you get stuck. Plus, Free Code Camp encourages, directs their students to help non-profits with their coding skills as part of the overall program. Anyway, I'm not here to sell anyone on Free Code Camp. This is just what I've personally discovered after a lot of research and hands-on trying various online education venues for learning to code. So the reason for this email? I've created a Northampton, MA-area Free Code Camp Facebook group. I'm planning local meetups to discuss code newbies, pair program, etc. If you're interested, or know someone who might be interested, here's the link for the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/free.code.camp.northampton.mass/ Cheers, Jeff Jeff Rutherford <http://about.me/jeffrutherford> 413 475-0087 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
