Why Beginner Projects Exists
In 2025, learning to code should feel like a creative playground, not a marathon of tutorials. Traditional methods, such as long textbooks and countless YouTube clips, often leave beginners frustrated and stuck. We saw that gap and built a solution that blends the best of modern tools with proven teaching techniques.
- Free access to fully functional projects you can copy right away
- Step‑by‑step guidance on how to run, tweak, and extend the code
- Dev‑environment tutorials for macOS, Linux, GhostBSD, and Windows
All of this is free. All of it is beginner‑friendly.
How We Teach Coding
- Start with real code: we hand you a complete project that works out of the box.
- Follow the instructions to run it locally on your machine.
- Start with small changes: add a button, change a color, tweak the text.
- See the result instantly: watching the impact of your edits builds confidence and understanding.
This “learn‑by‑doing” method mirrors how most professional developers sharpen their skills: by hacking existing projects instead of starting from scratch.

What You’ll Need
If you’re brand new to coding, the very first step is installing a free code editor.
In this post, we walk you through downloading and installing VSCodium, a free and easy‑to‑use editor that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
If you’ve coded before, you can stick with your favorite editor of choice.
