Best free Code Bootcamp Online
Hello everyone.
I've been looking for a code Bootcamp for a long time but always procrastinate and do other things instead, maybe because I'm afraid of the challenge.
But now the time comes and I will start next week! I have 3 options
https://upskillcourses.com
https://www.freecodecamp.org
https://www.codecademy.com/pricing
Is there anyone here who has participated in any of those mentioned above?
What do you guys think about Bootcamp, my goal now is just to learn the basic and see how it feels and maybe later get into some more complex.
Regards
Ive done a bit of codeacademy and fcc, they're both good. FCC focuses more on web, CA has a greater variety of tech.
Upskill looks like they teach an older stack, and dont mention some 'newer' (not actually that new) features of css / js (eg. grid and flexbox). They teach Ruby, which is declining in popularity (although certainly still in demand by employers). It also appears to be video content only.
Its worth noting that CA is not entirely free. Their free courses are pretty introductory, but that may not be such an issue if you're a beginner.

I think free bootcamps are a good place to start with if you're unsure if this is something you want to do long-term or not. Gaining familiarity with data types, variables, functions, etc., is doable with free bootcamps. However, if you're looking into bootcamps so that you can get a job as a developer (or any other related titles in the industry), you'll need to do more than just a free bootcamp.
But it's a hard question to answer without knowing additional details. What's your end goal with this? How much time do you have to dedicate to bootcamp every week? I graduated from a full-stack bootcamp last year so I can definitely give some insight into this topic once I have a better understanding of what you're looking to get out of it.
I don't want to get a job as a developer! I just want to know how to build my own projects without depending too much on devs.
