Comment on today's freeCodeCamp video course 😊

I saw #Singularity trending with nearly 2 million tweets and thought "Oh my God. It's happening. The bots are all tweeting in unison on Twitter to signal the global regime change." Then I clicked and it's just some K-Pop singer who released a new song called "Singularity."

Hey BTS Army - when I tweeted this earlier I did not know who V was and had not watched his new video. Honestly I was just relieved the singularity wasn't happening. But I watched his new video and it is amazing. He is not just "some K-pop singer" - he is the real deal.

Trying to code when chat's open

"I am where I am today because of freeCodeCamp." I got this LinkedIn DM from a Google Engineer. 🥲

Congratulations to Nigeria on their 2-0 win! You are by far the most stylish and exciting team in this year's World Cup. Sending a lot of love your way from the USA! Good luck with Tuesday's game against Argentina. You can do this!

Apparently Parler just got pulled from the Google App store. Over at TheDonald they're teaching each other how to install the PWA version. I thought this exchange was funny.

Just a friendly reminder that 55% of Americans only have one option for a broadband internet provider. Free market competition doesn't work when there is no competition. That's why we need the 3 basic rules of #NetNeutrality: no blocking, no throttling, no paid prioritization.

9 years ago, I sat down at this desk in my closet and built the first version of @freeCodeCamp. Today I'm just one of thousands of developers and teachers contributing to the freeCodeCamp community. It's an honor and a privilege to be among so many thoughtful people. 🏕️

🛠️ Build your skills. 👂 Build your reputation. 🌐 Build your network. Your career success depends on all three of these. Don't make the mistake of focusing on only one or two. Think about ways you can build all three at the same time.

Every coding tutorial ever written

Happy 8th birthday to the global freeCodeCamp community. 🎂🎇 I some big announcements for you all about our progress on: 📊 Python Data Science courses 🧮 Free Associate of Mathematics university degree 💾 Free Bachelor of Computer Science degree To summarize in 1 picture:

Thank you to the many people who approached me over the past hour about @js_tut and his recent behavior. It is unacceptable. He does not represent the developer community. I have removed all 33 of his articles from freeCodeCamp's publication and revoked his author permissions.

I'm proud to announce that freeCodeCamp is now one of the 1,000 most-used websites on Earth. A learning website? Where people wrack their brains to get smarter? Popular? Yes. Thanks to all you volunteers and donors who make this possible. This community is just getting started.

The freeCodeCamp community is proud to publish the full Harvard CS50 computer science lecture series, taught by world-renown professor @davidjmalan. You'll learn about C programming, Python, SQL, web dev, and a ton of CS theory. (free 25-hour watch) freecodecamp.org/news/harvar…

🚨PSA🚨 A private equity company just bought the rights to the entire .ORG domain registry. Oh, and @ICANN removed price caps, too. If your nonprofit owns a .org domain, go extend your registration out to the maximum 10 years before prices skyrocket. theregister.co.uk/2019/11/20…

If Apple didn't make the app submission process so damn complicated we wouldn't have to create a course on it. 🤣

I'm excited to share freeCodeCamp's big goal for the next decade: 📜 To provide computer science bachelor's degrees... 🏛️ from an accredited US university... 🆓 for free. [thread] 🧵 freecodecamp.org/news/free-a…

Big freeCodeCamp announcement coming in about an hour. All good news.

Hi friends, in solidarity with those demanding justice and equality, I am going to stop tweeting about programming for the next few days. Instead, I'm going to leave you with this thread. I hope it will give you some context into what is happening here in the US.

I just published my book: Learn to Code & Get a Developer Job in 2023.🏕️ And I made the entire book freely available on freeCodeCamp.📖 When you read it, you'll learn how to: 🛠️Build your coding skills, 🕸️Personal network, 🏛️Reputation as a developer, 👷And get a developer job

You know that Nigeria 🇳🇬has a surging developer scene when it's the third most-represented country on @freeCodeCamp. Shout out to the 142,110 Naija devs who are expanding their skills and ramping up their careers here.

In the past 28 days people have spent 40,000,000 minutes learning on the freeCodeCamp community YouTube. That's equal to one human lifetime (72 years). They watched 0 ads and we made $0 from it. Thanks to all the teachers and developers who make this free learning possible.

When someone says "You don't need a library for that!" then shows you how to implement it manually.

Today I learned: If you upload a course that's longer than 24 hours, YouTube will show a "day" digit. Learn C++ for free. How to install it, control flow, data, OOP, functional programming, pointers + references, polymorphism and more. (31-hour watch on freeCodeCamp's YouTube)

Do it for the income. Then once you’ve got your family covered... Do it for the outcome.

After 18 months of work, freeCodeCamp's new learning experience is now live. We rebuilt the Responsive Web Design Cert with feedback from the community: 🛠️ More projects 💪 More repetition to help with retention ⌨️ Less reading and more coding Try it now: freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/…

You want the truth, JavaScript? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Announcement: After 3 years of development – and months of beta testing – freeCodeCamp's new Responsive Web Design certification is now live. 🎉 I strongly recommend doing this new cert – even if you've already finished the old one. [FAQ thread 🧵]

Here's another one. I love the way he clarifies his thoughts here.

I am blown away by UPI, the Universal Payments Interface system that Indian engineers have built for processing transactions. It's one of the best examples of successful public-private partnership in modern times. And a testament to the power of long-term planning and execution.

To the millions of women who are learning to code, and forging a career for themselves in tech: You belong here. We're excited to have you here. 👏

Remember that big thing I said freeCodeCamp was going to announce on December 23rd? We're going to announce it today. In about 2 hours. I am extremely proud of this and I can't wait to share it with you all.

In the coming weeks, you'll see lots of ads for online courses that promise to prep you for a developer job in weeks. Some of these cost $20. Some cost $2,000. When you see these remember: it takes months of practice to ramp up to job-ready. Practice that you can get for free.

Hey everyone we did it! 🎊 The freeCodeCamp Data Science Pledge Drive exceeded our goal. Total raised: $306,667 Thank you to all 2,519 of you donors. And to @darrellsilver for his matching donation of $150K. Here's how we've started putting this to use: freecodecamp.org/news/buildi…

Yesterday I crunched the numbers for 2021. Over the past 365 days, people have spent 2.1 billion minutes learning from freeCodeCamp. On a budget of only $754,030, our nonprofit has delivered 4,000 years of learning to people around the world. That's 50 hours per dollar spent. 🧵

Danny went from frying chicken at a gas station to working at Google in the span of just a few years. He learned to code, then turned around and helped other people in his community learn to code. Legend. 👏

For the first time in @freeCodeCamp's 5-year history, we have more Indian developers 🇮🇳 using our site than Americans 🇺🇸. And Nigeria 🇳🇬 isn't far behind. I'm proud of how international the developer community is becoming. Those eagles and those tigers - they are rising.

Here's the Depth-First Merge Sort Algorithm, visualized. And there are a lot more where that came from: imgur.com/r/dataisbeautiful/…

You can't buy skills. You have to cultivate them yourself. When you buy a book, a course, a piece of gear, it can feel like you're buying progress. But skills only come with practice.

From a freeCodeCamp tutorial to the front page of Steam (and Reddit) in just 3 years. Not bad. 🏕️

If you want to get a new job after the #coronavirus blows over, start preparing now. 🛠️ Build your skills. 🔊 Build your reputation. 🌐 Build your network. Your career success depends on all 3 of these. Stay home. But don't despair. Use online tools to build these today.
