We Understand the problem

So Why PreCodeCamp?

Unlike most self-paced coding courses that leave you more confused than confident, PreCodeCamp gives you a complete, guided learning experience. Our Live Learning Sessions make sure you’re not just watching videos but actually understanding the material and building skills step-by-step.


You’ll get a strong foundation in coding, mentorship from experienced developers, and a supportive community that is with you every step of the way. This means less overwhelm, fewer dead ends, and more progress you can actually feel.


Nothing is more discouraging than feeling like you’re falling behind. We help you avoid that “information overload” by breaking concepts down into clear, manageable steps so you can keep moving forward with confidence.


“But if I Only Had More Time…”


It’s something you might have said yourself when trying to learn to code. Imagine if, before diving into a full course, you had time to sit down with a mentor, follow guided lessons, and work through hands-on projects.

At PreCodeCamp, we give you that time. We focus on building your confidence and skills so that when you do start a bigger course or project, you are ready to finish it successfully.

preCodeCamp provides live mentors


PreCodeCamp is the missing piece for aspiring developers who want to go beyond casual learning and build a strong foundation before tackling more advanced courses or projects. We help you bridge the gap between beginner skills and the demands of serious coding, making your transition smoother and your learning more effective.


You’ll learn using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals. These are excellent starting languages because they are beginner-friendly and flexible, while still being powerful enough to create real projects.


Why is PreCodeCamp a smart choice? Take a look at some of the key benefits below.

Online Communities

We have online communities to help you in the hour of need. Get and give support to your peers. We have found that the best way to build confidence is to be able to explain code or help others to understand code. Students that help others see a change in their ability to problem solve and communicate. Which are both needed abilities in a future developer.

Message from the founder

Let me introduce myself my name is Rob VanArsdall. I'm a 12 Year Army Vet turned developer. I have taught students how to code for the past 4 years and have worked several development positions along the way. I have a passion for teaching went to college to teach secondary education and fell in love with Adult Learning. As for web development I'm still active in current projects where I hosts and maintain several websites that generate income: Army Flight Logbook (Web and Mobile), ScrapBooking Website (ScrappyDew), and PreCodeCamp. 

After teaching for 4 years in the Coding Bootcamp Arena, I noticed a pattern. Students would come into a bootcamp day 1 and either haven't been exposed to code or they didn't bother to do the prework that the coding bootcamp decided. And that is totally OK for some but for others it you are starting at a disadvantage. 

I asked myself why wouldn't a student do the prework? Maybe they got stuck and didn't know where to ask or how to find a solution. So that is why I created PreCodeCamp to help those that want to get exposed to code prior to starting a bootcamp.
