Starting an open source initiative for new developers

Koding.no is a resource for Norwegian developers, written and maintained by the open source community.

The initiative, as featured on Kode24, was started in August of 2023. It aims to lend a helping hand for developers who are eager to start a self-learning journey to become an actual developer.

The website is sectioned into two separate parts.

• A "study-section" which helps new learners first discover their area of interest, and then dive into it in an organized manner.
• A "resource section" which is referenced in the study-section, and contains more lengthy articles on various subjects

The website is strictly non-profit, which means that there are no special interests involved when chosing which resources to include and exclude, this is entirely based on public consensus.

Relying on the community

The website is entirely dependant on open source contributions, but I have also written a lot of the initial articles myself, and do go back and write more when I get the time. I hope that this resource can grow and become something self-maintaining at some point.

Looking back at the last year, I'm sad to see the inactivity in the repository. I have been very busy since launching Koding.no and have not been able to contribute much myself.
