futurecoder is a free and open-source platform and course for complete beginners to teach themselves programming in Python.

The long-term goals of futurecoder are ambitious:

• Revolutionise computing education. We believe current learn-to-code platforms could be so much better.
• Make the best learning resource possible which everyone can contribute to and improve
• Allow anyone to learn programming on their own, regardless of background or talent

We mean to achieve this by:

• Keeping students engaged and interested as they learn to write real code
• Providing powerful tools that are easy to use to prevent frustration
• Teaching Python, widely considered to be the best language to learn first as well as the most popular language in real applications.
• Consistently iterating with an open-source codebase
