Sections of freeCodeCamp's curriculum used to be a part of our application requirements. The curriculum doesn't cover JavaScript and they estimate it as 300 hours of work in total. Although completing it is not required, it will give you a fantastic foundation in building websites.
Git has a number of features available, and we're not expecting you to learn them all. During the application stage, we ask that you focus on learning to add, commit, and push your changes.
Your first project is to create a Hobby Page. This can be about one of your hobbies, a particular interest of yours, or a public figure you admire. You are not required to make this about yourself or disclose anything personal. The page will be built with HTML, styled with CSS and use a bit of JavaScript.
We'd like to hear about what you created, and how you created it. For this project, you're required to include a README.md file. These are written in and give an overview of the project. You might like to include sections which follow the three headings above: planning; building; and debugging.
