Free Code Camp Video Challenges

This is where we plan Free Code Camp's video challenges. Take a look at our open issues and join our in our Gitter room for more casual talk about contributing.

What are Video Challenges?

Video challenges are 2 minute-long videos that teach high-level concepts relevant to software development. Assumptions:

  • Viewers will watch these mostly by stumbling upon them in YouTube search. Thus they should be modular and make sense out of order.
  • Viewers will watch these on a mobile phone while commuting, so you should write text and draw diagrams as large as possible on the whiteboard.
  • Viewers will not take time to complete follow up tasks, like running code or reading additional articles. Assume the video is the only contact they will get with the content.
