The FreeCodeCamp 2017 New Coder Survey

Free Code Camp is an open source community where you learn to code and build projects for nonprofits.

We surveyed more than 20,000 people who started coding within the past 5 years. We reached them through the twitter accounts and email lists of various organizations that help people learn to code.

Our goal was to understand these people's motivations in learning to code, how they're learning to code, their demographics, and their socioeconomic background.
