FAQ

What is CodeBuddies?

We're a community of independent code learners who help each other on Slack, schedule hangouts to learn with each other, contribute to a periodic anonymous crowdsourced newsletter where anyone can share a personal project or leave a shout out, and post on Facebook. We come from all over the world; there are members living in the United States, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, and more. We accept donations and are 100% transparent on Open Collective.

Learning with each other helps us learn faster. We strive to create a safe space for anyone interested in code to talk about the learning process. The project is free and open-sourced on Github, and this app is 100% community/volunteer-built.

Join us on Slack! You can get your invite by clicking on the Slack invite button and join the community by verifying your invitation through your e-mail!

Why are you building this site?

Our community spends a lot of time helping each other on our public Slack (P.S. You can get an invite here if you want to join), but it's hard to schedule screensharing/voice hangout study times via Slack, and it's also hard to know who else is online and available for joining a Hangout to work on something together. The platform we're building solves those issues.

##Who are the volunteers so far?

Note: the list below is incomplete. Please add your name and your contribution.

If you'd like to help contribute, pick out an issue (leave a comment on it to indicate your interest!) and say hello in the #codebuddies-meta channel on Slack. Be sure to read the "how do I contribute" instructions on contributing.md!

P.S. We'll schedule hangouts to do code walkthroughs or code show and tells occasionally, and announce it in the #codebuddies-meta channel on Slack. The goal is to help everyone who wants to contribute to this app learn quickly through collaboration. You can also request a code walkthrough as well. The list of contributors above contains a good mix of full-time developers and as well as people contributing to an open-sourced project for the first time.
