I am looking for a good curriculum/guideline to follow when teaching the non-technical teams of an organization how to code. It should focus on web technologies, so start with HTML + CSS, then some light JavaScript, then a backend language or (maybe more practical) JS as the backend language as well. Ideally it should have a bigger scope and potentially also include challenges or projects so the class can run over several months and/or employees have some guidance after the class how to keep going. |

I used myself to learn to code and it was great. I went to complete the first certificate (front-end). After that, I decided to go for more personal projects that I would choose by myself using technologies I wanted to learn. But I am glad I started with freeCodeCamp.
It has a standard path (people can compare evolution, share tips, help each other, even have some healthy friendly competition). It has projects where each student can use creativity.
Include a mentor to help and encourage people who are struggling (watching some outliers doing amazing stuff in short time might be very discouraging for people who are stuck, you can witness that in the forums) and you can have the perfect environment.
