@Sheibany_ @SinghSoransh Yep, keep chipping away at it... it's amazing what you can accomplish by working at it a little bit every day. I really enjoyed the algorithms part - it's super fun if you enjoy puzzles. It gave me lots to think about during my commute 😁

Finally got around to completing my last of 6 FCC cert's this month and claiming the Full Stack certification. Huge thanks to @ossia and all the great people that make @freeCodeCamp possible. It played a HUGE part in enabling me to change careers and become a full time developer

@Sheibany_ @MarkBDsouza Thank you! I started and stopped a couple times, but I would say it took about 10-11 months all together. That was spending roughly an hour a day, 5 days/week on average. The 2 front-end certs took me longer than they should since I design primarily through trial & error 😅

@ossia @freeCodeCamp Thanks a lot Quincy! I'm super thankful for freeCodeCamp and all I've learned from it. I really don't think I would have made it this far without it!

@TheTomMonks @freeCodeCamp Well done, Tom. Not many people have earned the Full Stack certification. I'm thrilled you're learning so much and that you are expanding your skills as you work in the field.

After a taking a long hiatus from @freeCodeCamp and #100DaysOfCode during the pandemic to focus on other things (including becoming a full-time freelance developer😁), I finally got around to finishing my data viz certification this month. So much fun, I'm almost sad it's over!

@20Cvigilante In addition to #freeCodeCamp, what worked really well for me was to make a lot of connections at local coding meetups and do volunteer work for organizations that I was passionate about, which really helped me grow and demonstrate my skills at the same time

@20Cvigilante Thanks! I'm building web apps for two small startups. One is using the Loopback JS framework, and the other is a variety including some python, postgres, Retool, and, more recently, Elixir & Phoenix too.
