The Odin Project is a free, open-source curriculum for learning full-stack web development, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails through project-based lessons. This repository contains the lesson content that powers the theodinproject.com website, maintained by a large volunteer community.

Use cases

• become a web developer without a computer science degree
• build a portfolio of web development projects
• learn Ruby on Rails or Node.js through guided lessons
• contribute to an open-source educational curriculum
• get community support while learning to code

When to choose

• you are a beginner wanting a complete, structured path to web development employment
• you prefer learning by building real projects rather than only watching tutorials
• you want a free alternative to coding bootcamps
