Why Product Managers Are Learning to Code, and freeCodeCamp vs. Codecademy

Learn to Code in One Month

Why are product managers learning to code? This week I chat with product manager (and self-taught programmer) Irma Mesa (@_justirma) about why and how she learned to code. Irma is a product manager at Open Up Resources. Open Up Resources is a non-profit that creates K-12 curriculum, and is funded by some from some pretty big names like The Bill and Linda Gates Foundation and The Schusterman Foundation.

In this episode, we talk about the various resources that Irma used to learn to code (Codecademy, freeCodeCamp, One Month). How helpful were each of these coding courses? Which was the most helpful? What did she use first? What language would she recommend if you're new to just starting a code? All that and more!
