# A Guide to Writing freeCodeCamp Guide Articles

The freeCodeCamp community is building a massive, searchable "Guide." This reference tool will eventually include thousands of articles that cover all areas of development, design, and data science - all written to be easily understood by people new to coding.

We welcome your help writing these articles. You don't have to be an expert in a topic to write about it - this entire guide is open source, so even if you make a mistake, another contributor will eventually correct it.

We've written this guide to writing guide articles to help you get started contributing.

Hi Josh,

In order to show up in that statistic you quoted (2,000+ campers you have gotten their first developer job - and it's now 5,000+), campers must first:

1) use Free Code Camp with the intention of getting a developer job
2) stick with coding until they've gotten good enough to apply for jobs
3) go through the dozens of applications and interviews that most first-time developers have to endure before they start getting job offers
4) bother telling us that they've gotten a job after all of that (and most people are too busy telling their friends and family and getting ready for their first day)

Free Code Camp helps people learn to code for free. We have a Medium publication where we publish tons of free articles by campers who now work as developers, such as this one we published a few days ago about improving your portfolio: https://medium.freecodecamp.com/i-reviewed-fifty-portfolios-on-reddit-and-this-is-what-i-learned-e5d2b43150bc#.rfl5x115v
