[A Girl working at her computer]( EDITOR'S NOTE Make 2021 a Year of Learning! Welcome to a bright new yearâwe all hope it brings you health, happiness, and success. Our team at Vonage is always interested in helping people learn how to code, and it starts at home. Last year we ran OneHack Academyâan internal course that teaches folks how to code from scratch. Weâve recorded a version of it, and itâs available on our brand-spanking-new [Developer Education platform]( Whether youâre brand new to writing code or more experienced and want to learn some JavaScript, this is perfect for you! If you love videos, you can also check out loads of technical tutorials on our YouTube channel or live on our Twitch channel. Weâre all so excited to see what you build this year.
