Build and Publish a Full-Stack Mobile App with AI

Building a production-ready mobile application used to require a dedicated team of frontend, backend, and DevOps engineers. With modern AI tools, an individual developer can take an idea from concept to the App Store. In a comprehensive new tutorial published on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel, you will learn how to build and publish CodexGram, a […]

How Geotab and Hubble Network Are Putting Enterprise Asset Tracking Within Reach of Small Businesses

For years, real-time asset tracking was a luxury reserved for large enterprises. If you ran a small HVAC company, a regional landscaping crew, or a family-owned construction outfit, the idea of “knowing where every ladder, generator, or pallet of materials is at any given moment” sounded like something only a Fortune 500 logistics team could […]

Inside a Hong Kong Hackathon [Full freeCodeCamp Documentary]

We just published a new documentary-style video on the freeCodeCamp channel that takes you behind the scenes of a high-energy 24-hour hackathon. Quincy Larson traveled to Hong Kong to serve as a judge at SeaHack. There were more than 250 developers and builders from over a dozen countries. The challenge? Team up, brainstorm, and build […]

How Executable Operational Specifications Can Make Software Automation Verifiable

Modern software systems are increasingly automated. We automate deployments, infrastructure changes, scaling, incident response, and data pipelines. And now, with AI agents, we are starting to automate operational decisions too. That sounds like progress, but it creates a problem that is easy to miss: We are getting better at executing operations without necessarily getting better […]

TimescaleDB Course – PostgreSQL for Time-Series Data

Managing massive, rapidly growing datasets efficiently is a critical skill for modern developers. Whether you are tracking API request logs, monitoring IoT fleet telemetry, or building dashboards for AI agents, unoptimized time-series data can quickly slow standard PostgreSQL queries to a crawl. We just posted a new course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will […]

How to Build a Dart Package Analytics Tool with the pub.dev API: Beyond the 30-Day Window

When I published my package on pub.dev, the first few days were exciting as the number of downloads climbed. 201 downloads in a few days! Then something strange happened. The number dropped: 120, then 55. That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. I didn’t break anything. Nothing changed in the package. People did not stop […]

How to Prevent Poisoned GitHub Actions Dependencies

Your workflow uses actions/checkout@v4. Today, that tag points to a vetted release. Tomorrow, a compromised maintainer or attacker moves the tag to malicious code. Your pipeline runs it with access to GITHUB_TOKEN. Third-party Actions are dependencies. A floating tag behaves like an unpinned package dependency. If the reference changes, the workflow can execute different code […]

How to Build a Bulk Image Compressor Tool with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

High-resolution images look great, but they can significantly slow down page load times and consume massive amounts of storage. While backend compression tools are common, building a client-side image compressor offers a massive advantage: privacy. When you process images directly in the browser, no user data ever touches a server. In this tutorial, you’ll learn […]
