Are you interested in learning a coding language? Maybe textbooks aren’t your first preference when it comes to learning something new? Well, today I would like to present you with two free websites that can help you learn how to code. With easy to follow videos and practice tests along the way you will be coding in no time.

The first website to try is www.freecodecamp.com. Not only can you learn a new coding language, but you can also help out a non-profit organization. Freecodecamp is a great website opportunity to give back!

Building nonprofit projects is the main way that campers learn full stack JavaScript and agile software development. After you’ve earned your Front End Development, Data Visualization, and Back End Development certifications you can begin to help out an organization. Here is Free Code Camp’s mission statement:
“Our goal at Free Code Camp is to help you land a job as a software developer or get promoted in your current company to a more technical role.
You’ll continue to work on nonprofit projects until you’ve built a sufficiently impressive portfolio and references to start your job search. Your portfolio will ultimately have four nonprofit projects. We estimate that the 800 hours of non-profit projects and 80 hours of interview prep you’re going to complete, in addition to the 1,200 hours of challenges you’ve already completed by this point, will be more than enough to qualify you for your first coding job.”
Codecademy.com is another great website for learning a coding lanuage. Code Academy is an education company with a fresh perspective on education. Their easy to follow modules and tutorials teach you as you build, so if you have ever wanted to build a website, start their “Make a Website” lesson.
With Codecademy, you can learn core programming concepts and syntax for the world's most popular languages. Here are just a few of the many languages you could learn today, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and HTML/CSS.
