How I learnt to code in a scarily short space of time 

My plan was to spend the next few months teaching myself enough code that I could get hired somewhere and learn during the role. I didn’t think a paid bootcamp was worth the cost for me as I now had the time and motivation (of no salary) to teach myself.

I posted on a women in tech forum, called Ada’s List explaining my risky sounding plan and asking for advice on more advanced free resources.

A flood of replies came back, a big proportion of which said I should definitely apply for a free full time coding bootcamp in East London called Founders & Coders. In 3 months they’d teach me to build things! FOR FREE.

Nice mention of Ada’s List by member Katerina Pascoulis in this blog post on Gadgette!
