freeCodeCamp is a free online coding platform and global network of software and web development enthusiasts. It aims to make coding accessible to anyone; all you need is a computer, an Internet connection and a desire to learn. Our meetups are very relaxed and open to people of all abilities, from absolute beginner to professional. Come along to get help with solving a coding challenge (freeCodeCamp curriculum or otherwise - don't forget your laptop!), to get advice on becoming a developer, or to simply meet like-minded coders in London.

freeCodeCamp is also excited to announce that it is also planning to organise cutting edge A.I.-specific workshops and events –watch this space! more details to follow soon

Regular meetups take place in locations around central London. All abilities are welcome, from absolute beginner to professional!
