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.

td 20 hours/week h2 Why does Free Code Camp use JavaScript instead of Ruby or Python?
td 50 weeks (1 year) ul
tr.warning 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.

td Traditional Bootcamp Pacing p.landing-p At the end of Free Code Camp, you will have pair programmed around 1,000 hours with dozens of other students, built a portfolio of projects that people are actively using, and a roster of glowing references from nonprofits you've helped. On average, 75% of bootcamp graduates get software engineering jobs within 6 months, and earn an average annual salary of $76,000.

h2 Why does Free Code Camp use JavaScript instead of Ruby or Python? ul
ul p.landing-p Our name is Free Code Camp. We are a free code camp. If you had to pay us (or sign over future earnings), we'd have to change our name. And we are not going to do that.
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. h2 Does Free Code Camp have an application process?

We're not going to tell you that you can't become a software engineer. We believe the only person who should be able to tell you that is you. If you perservere, and keep working through our challenges and nonprofits' projects, you will become an employable software engineer.
