Community contributions to Codecademy Docs are now closed.
Codecademy Docs remains live and publicly accessible; however, we are no longer reviewing or merging external pull requests. We are incredibly grateful to the community members who contributed their time and expertise to help build Docs into what it is today.
Built by the community. Maintained by Codecademy.
Docs is a free, easily accessible reference for coding terms and concepts, available to developers all over the world. If you forget what JavaScript hoisting is, we want you to be able to look up "JS hoisting" on any search engine, click a Doc entry, and have an answer in seconds.
Docs is live with over 2000 high-quality entries. Now that the MVP is out, our goal is to transition some ownership of Docs content to the Codecademy community, since maintaining a resource of this type at-scale is only possible if it's open-contribution. That means we need your help, whether it's contributing, reviewing, or evangelizing!
