Free Code Camp is an open source community of busy people who learn to code and help nonprofits. Quincy, the creator of FCC, is here to answer any questions you might have. If you are someone who is learning to code, this is a great opportunity for you to get in touch with Quincy and have his insights.
Hosted by:
Apart from JavaScript, what languages do you work with? What code editors and productivity tools do you use?
What do you recommend when a local FCC group is quite inactive despite having a few members?
If you could change something in campers behaviors, what would it be?
What's the plan for React challenges in FCC curriculum? When more or less is comming soon planned?
What tech vlogs/YT channels do you follow/ subscribe to?
Which language should I learn as my primary language - JS or Java or Python? I want to practice DS and alogos but I can't figure out which language should I choose. I have previous background in Java but nowadays everywhere is python and python is also more abstracted language so it does more in less code. I have future plans to participate in codejam.
I have a lot of ideas I'd like to execute on, but as a beginner in backend code, my biggest challenge is often deciding a language to work with. What are some strategies to identify an ideal language for a project?
Hi Quincy,
You had shared that FCC will monetize from the enterprises in the form of training programs. Would you mind sharing how many enterprises have already enrolled?
Why does FCC teach only JavaScript? Why not other languages like Java etc? Btw, great job! Thanks for making it.
I'm a computer science student, so back end programming just feels more natural to me. So when it comes to design/front end programming I tend to struggle. How can I get better at design.
If I do decided to focus only on back end,will I be hurting my chances for employment opportunities? Do employers look for people who just specialize in either front end or back end?
If you had to list the top ten tips / advice for someone starting to learn coding, what would it be?
I have heard that FreeCodeCamp is coming up with new updated curriculum .. When is it going live and what all new topic does it include? Sounds exciting!
Hi Quincy,
Can you send greetings to the community of Free Code Camp Buenos Aires? :P
Thanks for your amazing work, keep growing!
Great job @FCC - I'd like to learn more React and React native in the FCC map. Would you give us a ETA? Thanks for creating all this awesome program.
How can I learn a new language fast and what are the most important things i should look out for while learning?
Free code camp is the most complete course on javascript i have found on the internet to date, i wanted to thank you for that.
My questions are: What are the hurdles do you think a developer without a degree would have to cross that a developer with a degree wouldn't need to address? Or vice versa.
First I wanna say THANK YOU so much. You and what you did are amazing. I have some questions.
How can I stay motivated when I constantly feel that I'm not qualified?
Should I invest time to learn math alongside programming? Do you have any book recommendations on that?
What's the biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome by people just starting to learn programming?
What's the point at which most of them give up?
For some time i wanted to start my own hacklab - code camp in my city since there are none. There were always challenges as to how do i get a place for the hacklab, how do i get people to sing up, etc. So my questions are :
Would you recommend freecodecamp for people overseas (i.e. South America)? Thanks for you work!
I'm 22 about to be 23 in September 4th. I'm putting everything on the line to learn how to code.
What are the most difficult problems that the development team of FCC has had to solve?
What technologies should I be familiar with if I want to contribute to the development of Free Code Camp?
