      I want to learn to program to contribute to Cloudron app development/tuning.
      Where should I start? Any resources to spin up on programming fast? Free is always preferred.
      I've been looking at FreeCodeCamp.org, are those the skills needed?

      Thanks all!

        @will I think https://cloudron.io/documentation/custom-apps/tutorial/ and the following topics in that section is a good starting point...

            I would say:

            1. Learn docker. This is the base deployment tool for Cloudron. No need to learn compose/swarm etc.
            2. Take some time to learn Heroku. Also see 12 factor app. A lot of ideas for Cloudron app deployment are inspired from these two PaaS concepts. Heroku can deploy lots of different frameworks/stacks, so just pick one you are comfortable with.
            3. And then the tutorial link above should be easy to follow. Without knowing 1 & 2, the tutorial can be hard to understand.

            Finally, there is lots of code at https://git.cloudron.io/box (looks for -app suffixed repos).
