What is Code School?
Code School is an online learning destination for existing and aspiring developers that teaches through entertaining content. Each course is built around a creative theme and storyline so that it feels like you’re playing a game, not sitting in a classroom. They also have shorter Screencasts and Projects where you can build applications on your computer or on GitHub and let them check your work.
You can learn more about them on their About page.
How long does Free Weekend last?
Free Weekend starts on Friday, November 17, at 10 a.m. and ends on Sunday, November 19, at 11:59 p.m. in Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5). It's a 61 hours long weekend so you should have enough time to learn about your favourite technologies, but remember to take a nap once in a while.
What happened to the Leaderboard contest?
This Free Weekend, they decided to keep it simple and sweet: Learn with Code School for free - no competition between the thousands of users that join us during this event. Sit back, relax, and learn something new!
