After growing 60% year-on-year for 5 years, learning on freeCodeCamp grew by 100% this year. 🤯 A giant thank you to all of you who support our charity and our mission. To everyone donating and to everyone volunteering their talents to our open source community: thank you. 🙇‍♂️

Here's a breakdown of site usage across the four main pillars of the freeCodeCamp community: 📚 /learn (the curriculum) 📰 /news (the publication) 🏛️ the community forum 📺 and the community YouTube channel. (In total learner-minutes)

There are so many busy adults around the world who are trying to learn new skills. People are teaching themselves how to use tools like SQL, Linux, spreadsheets, and scripting languages. They're improving their math skills and their workplace English skills.

The freeCodeCamp community still has so much room to grow, and so many learners we can help. We'll continue to meet busy people where they already are. Helping them learn on their own schedule, after they've put the kids to bed or finished work for the day.

This is the desk where I coded and launched the first version of freeCodeCamp 8 years ago. Getting to that point with my coding skills was a long, ambiguous, lonely process. But now for people learning to code, it doesn't have to be lonely or ambiguous. We have support.
