A Brief History
Of the Curriculum
-
V1 - 2014
We launched freeCodeCamp with a simple list of 15 resources, including Harvard's CS50 and Stanford's Database Class.
-
V2 - 2015
We added interactive algorithm challenges.
-
V3 - 2015
We added our own HTML+CSS challenges (before we'd been relying on General Assembly's Dash course for these).
-
V4 - 2016
We expanded the curriculum to 3 certifications, including Front End, Back End, and Data Visualization. They each had 10 required projects, but only the Front End section had its own challenges. For the other certs, we were still using external resources like Node School.
-
V5 - 2017
We added the back end and data visualization challenges.
-
V6 - 2018
We launched 6 new certifications to replace our old ones. This was the biggest curriculum improvement to date.
