Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I build the same projects by following free tutorials online?
That’s a bit like asking a trainer at the gym: "Can’t I work out at home for free?”
Of course, you can. In fact, we maintain the most popular list of “Build Your Own X” tutorials on GitHub, which is completely free. Check it out here.
So then why do our members choose CodeCrafters? Because just like serious gym-goers are committed to their fitness, our members are serious about mastering their craft. They know that real progress comes from focused, structured practice—not from piecing together random tutorials. Before CodeCrafters, many spent weeks bouncing between projects, searching for ideas, or giving up after hitting a wall. They’d procrastinate, lose motivation, and later start the cycle all over again.
With CodeCrafters, that cycle stops. They get solid project ideas, guided milestones, and a clear path forward. No more guesswork, no more distractions—just pure coding, debugging, refactoring… and refining the real-world (hard) skills that matter.
By investing in CodeCrafters, you’re not just committing to learning—you’re ensuring results.
This is great but it’s too expensive
Investing in your technical skills is one of the highest ROI activities you can do—it has a direct impact on your earning potential.
Sure, you could spend your time trying to save a few bucks. Or, you could invest that time in honing your craft, earning more respect, and opening doors to better opportunities and higher income.
You could spend a few weeks between window-shopping for project ideas, trying to piece together resources, getting lost in tutorial hell, and realizing too late that your plans missed key details. Or, you could start right now—pushing code, refining your skills, and following our proven, battle-tested guidance.
If you feel a few weeks of your time is worth less than the cost of a CodeCrafters membership (for example, if you’re a student), we recommend first focusing on developing your basic programming skills and landing that first programming job. CodeCrafters is designed for those who already have a job and are ready to push their limits.
Many companies allow employees to expense CodeCrafters as part of their learning and development budget—yours might too. Read more about that here.
