This weekend learn Cryptography for beginners with this FREE 1-hour Python course 🐍. Here are this week's five freeCodeCamp resources that are worth your time: 1. Learn how cryptography works, and how developers use it to secure both data and communication. freeCodeCamp just published a course that will teach you Python functions for symmetric and asymmetric encryption. You'll learn about SHA-256, AES, RSA, and public / private keys as well. You'll even code your own command-line cryptography tool. (1 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/crypto… 2. freeCodeCamp also published a course on building your own 3D games that run in a browser using Three.js and Blender. You'll learn how to model characters, design levels, detect collisions, and make the camera follow your playable character. You'll even deploy your game to the cloud so your friends can play it. (6 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/creati… 3. On this week's podcast I interview a self-taught developer with nearly a decade of software engineering experience. Patrick Hartley had to drop out of college to provide for his family. He taught himself programming while working at a thrift store, getting experience by freelancing and building his own apps. After 10 years as a dev, he turned down opportunities at big tech companies so he could continue working remotely from Oklahoma City. He shares tips for building foundational Python and JavaScript skills, surviving meetings as an introvert, and landing remote roles – even when you're competing with the global developer talent pool. (1 hour watch or listen in your favorite podcast app): freecodecamp.org/news/he-tur… 4. Learn Event-Driven Architecture. freeCodeCamp published this advanced JavaScript handbook that will teach you about Event Loops, Task Queues, Call Stacks, Backpressure, Websockets, Pub/Sub, and more. Take your full stack development skills to the next level and be sure to share this with your developer friends. (full length handbook): freecodecamp.org/news/event-… 5. freeCodeCamp also published our first ever guitar course. You'll learn beginner music theory concepts like chords and scales. You'll then map them to the guitar fretboard. You'll also learn guitar-specific techniques like barre chords. I learned guitar during the pandemic and am having an absolute blast with it. I hope you will, too. (1 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/guitar… For 11 years now, freeCodeCamp has built open source courses on math, programming, and computer science. Those will always be our main focus, but I hope you dig that we're also gradually adding topics like music, world languages, and even chess. If you want to help our charity ensure that the future of education is open, please support our mission: freecodecamp.org/donate Quote of the Week: “I'd be happy sitting in a basement coding 8 hours a day. But I'm growing a lot faster trying to be an extrovert.” — Self-taught Software Engineer Patrick Hartley on this week's freeCodeCamp podcast Happy coding!

Met a Meta AI researcher. He studied Physics in China, came to the US for a PhD in Physics, and then fell in love with AI, despite never having studied computer science. He watched Andrej Karpathy and Andrew Ng, bought a GPU, read every arXiv paper title daily, and dived into the ones that interested him. Eventually, he published a few first-author papers at top AI conferences without any supervisors, and later transferred to his university’s AI lab. You can just do things.

Spend your Halloween weekend learning about the terrors of cybersecurity + privacy from Harvard CS50 professor David J. Malan. 🎃 We just published this FREE 8-hour infosec course. Here are this week's five freeCodeCamp resources that are worth your time: 1. freeCodeCamp just published a new course taught by legendary Harvard computer science professor Dr. David J. Malan. This comprehensive cybersecurity for beginners course will teach you how to secure accounts, databases, and entire software systems. Dr. Malan also shares tons of practical tips for securing your privacy in an increasingly adversarial world. (8 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/learn-… 2. freeCodeCamp also published a guide to passing the Certified Kubernetes Administrator Exam. Beau Carnes teaches this course, which will walk you through key DevOps concepts. You'll start by setting up your K8s practice environment. Then you'll bootstrap a multi-node cluster and your control plane. You'll learn about Helm, High Availability Autoscaling, CoreDNS, and more. (2 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/prepar… 3. On this week's freeCodeCamp podcast, I interview a software engineer who got his first developer job at age 45. Eric Carlson is a self-taught software engineer at Cisco. In his early 20s, he worked his way up to manager at the busiest Domino's Pizza in Canada. He eventually went to college and studied liberal arts, then worked as a teacher for two decades before teaching himself programming using freeCodeCamp. He was able to gradually pivot into a developer role within the big telecom company where he was working. (1 hour watch or listen in your favorite podcast app): freecodecamp.org/news/first-… 4. Learn how to build high-performance mobile apps using Google's open-source Flutter framework. freeCodeCamp uses Flutter for our Android and iPhone apps, and it's way easier than maintaining two separate app codebases. This Flutter handbook will teach you how to efficiently lay out your apps with minimum widget rebuilds. You'll learn state management techniques, asynchronous patterns, and image caching best practices. You'll also learn how to use Isolates and lazy loading to make your apps really snappy.

This jam-packed course will teach you common microservice patterns, Onion Architecture, IoT functions, and more. (5 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/server… The freeCodeCamp community is working hard on so many improvements to our core curriculum. You should support our charity's mission, and by extension the entire open source ecosystem that relies on our learning resources: freecodecamp.org/donate Quote of the Week: “Most developer stories about learning to code involve having time to do things like go to meetups, build side projects, grind LeetCode, and so on. I didn’t have time or energy to do any of these things with a baby at home. So I found another way into my first developer job. For me, I had to find a way to get paid to code at my non-coding job. First I found a way to code for 5% of my job, then 10%, then a jump to 50%, and finally a jump to a 100% coding role.” — Software Engineer Eric Carlson on how he transitioned into a developer role within his current company at age 45, on this week's freeCodeCamp podcast

There are many fields in which AI can streamline processes and automate tedious tasks. And one area with many applications for AI tools and technologies is agriculture. In this book, Vahe details how AI can help increase crop yields, use water more efficiently, predict and react to stormy weather, and more. freecodecamp.org/news/ai-in-…

Ilya Sutskever on Comparing AI Systems to Biological & Human Intelligence. Its always so interesting to listen to him. He explains the brain’s adaptability, where children with half their brain removed still function well. And another experiment shows sensory inputs can remap to different brain regions. i.e. that cortical structures are highly uniform, reused across functions, similar to DNA and protein encoding. This suggests that intelligence relies on a general, repeatable architecture, and the idea that AI can mirror biological systems. --- From 'No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups' YT channel
