Future skills with free code camp
As with a previous article, I have said that digital skills are essential. With the current lock down looking like it will be with us for several months, perhaps now is the time to think about updating your digital skills or learn something new.
Free Code Camp [1] offers hours of programming tutorials plus free interactive certification courses in :-
- Responsive Web Design
- JavaScript Algoritims and Data Structures
- Front End Libraries
- Data Visualization
- APIs and Microservices
- Information Security and Quality Assurance
Each of these offers about 300 hours of learning, each then offers a set of challenges to help test what you have been learning. You can gain a certificate to recognise your achievement(s).

You can sign up, and login to Free Code Camp using ether your Facebook, Google, or Github account credentials.
Once you are signed up and signed in, the system will track of your progress, and you can carry on from where you left off. If you get stuck with any of the exercises then you can view a video, get a hint or ask on the excellent forums where you will find a really helpful community.
With Free Code Camp, you can learn some very useful skills, when combined this with the other resources that are available on the website and on the internet in general, there is the potential to learn even more.
