What is Code42?
Code42 is an online learning platform that teaches web development through hands-on courses. Read lessons in your browser and take a quiz per course — from HTML and CSS to JavaScript, Node, APIs, and databases.
Learn by Doing, One Course at a Time
Code42 keeps web development approachable. Each course is short and focused — a handful of lessons you read directly in your browser, followed by a quiz so you can check what you learned before moving on.
You can start from the very beginning with HTML and progress all the way to full stack development. There's nothing to install to follow the lessons, and no on-site checkout — you unlock a course by redeeming an activation key at /account/redeem.
Code42 is operated by Digital SaaS OÜ. Questions? Reach us at support@code42.cc.
