p.landing-p Pair programming is where two people code together on one computer. You discuss different approaches to solving problems, and keep each other motivated. The result is better code than either of you could have written by yourselves. Because of its benefits, many engineers pair program full time. And it's the best way to learn coding. Thanks to tools that allow two people to share mouse and keyboard inputs, you can pair program with a friend without needing to be in the same room. p.landing-p Pair programming is where two people code together on one computer.

p.landing-p It takes about 1,000 hours of coding to develop the skills you'll need to get an entry level software engineering job. Many in-person coding bootcamps jam all this into 12 weeks of intensive study. Free Code Camp is fully-online, and there will always be other people at your skill level that you can pair program with, so you can learn at your own pace. Here are some example coding schedules: p.landing-p It takes about 1,000 hours of coding to develop the skills you'll need to get an entry level software engineering job.

p.landing-p We love Python and Ruby. But even if you learn them, you'll still need to learn JavaScript. JavaScript is the most important language of all - it's the language of web browsers. It's also the most popular language. p.landing-p Like JavaScript, Ruby and Python are high-level scripting languages that can be used for full stack web development. But even if you learned these languages, you'd still need to learn JavaScript. That's because JavaScript is the only language that runs in web browsers. JavaScript has been around for 20 years, and it is still growing in popularity. Because of this, JavaScript has more tools and online learning resources than any other language.
