1. As you may know, each week I host The freeCodeCamp Podcast where I interview software developers. Well, I decided to do something special for our 100th episode. I recorded a full-length audiobook version of my 2023 book “How to Learn to Code and Get a Developer Job.” If you've been meaning to read my book, you can now listen to it on the go – in its entirety. I consider podcasts to be my own personal “University of the Commute.” I listen to them every day while I'm getting around town. And I encourage you to do the same. Just search for The freeCodeCamp Podcast in whichever podcast app you use, or listen right in your browser. (full audiobook – 4 hour listen): https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/learn-to-code-book/
