That is right you could win a brand new [Samsung Chromebook Pro](https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/chromebooks/12-14/samsung-chromebook-pro-xe510c24-k01us/), just for becoming a [CodingCat.dev](http://CodingCat.dev) member during the Hacktober month of October 2022. Use Coupon code HACKTOBER2022 register on the [main page.](https://codingcat.dev)

## Why the giveaway?

The goal is to have everyone learn to be a developer, without the necessary resources it can be really hard! Not everyone can afford to buy a laptop, so we thought it would be a good idea to give one away. Ideally I would love to give 100 away, but maybe when we grow as big as [Freecodecamp.org](https://freecodecamp.org) we can do that!

## How do I win?

Become a paid member of [CodingCat.dev](http://CodingCat.dev) by the end of October and you will be entered to win.

## Are more courses coming?

Yes we are actively working on a new SolidJS course right now! We also hope to update Svelte and JavaScript as a 10 year old.
