CodeQuest

Master Programming One Quest at a Time For Free

What it does

I built CodeQuest because learning to code shouldn’t be limited to those who can afford it. Too many platforms hide quality content behind paywalls or push expensive bootcamps. CodeQuest is completely free, with 120+ courses and 11,000+ lessons. Learn Python, JavaScript, React, AI/ML, DevOps, and more. Choose a career path—Frontend, Backend, or Full-Stack—and follow clear roadmaps from beginner to job-ready. No credit card. No upsells. Just learn.

    I've been a longtime member @ HN, but I haven't been a developer. In fact, my only HN submission has been one asking how to learn to code (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=820741). My cofounder and I decided to solve the problem by making a simple, interactive way to get started with Codecademy. We'd love your feedback. If you're interested in helping us to get more courses up (on any topic!), please send us an email at [email protected].

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
