I had a lot of fun working through the different practice problems and seeing everything come together in the homework assignments at the end of each week. Every lesson builds upon the last in a neat, stepwise progression that makes learning feel like a bit of a challenge but not difficult. I appreciate how the answers aren't provided but that students are given the information they need to "Google it" and come to workable solutions on their own. Bonus? My daughters think I'm cool now :) That said: I encountered an issue when submitting my first week's homework assignment that has left me troubled. I replicated the provided example but, after review, I was notified that my homework was incomplete; when I checked to see what the problem could be, the link I had previously followed to the example opened a differently-formatted page. I went to Slack to ask if I would be required to reformat my homework despite my submission being a faithful representation of the original example and was answered with a request to post my question in another channel of slack because it was a "technical" problem; because the turnaround time for answers was slow (an as-advertised ~48hr) and I didn't want to wait (and I want to learn), I went ahead and reformatted the assignment. Still, I have two problems with this: 1. Assignments that require students to copy (nearly exactly) an example document should not be graded in comparison to example documents that did not exist at the time the assignment was completed. 2. A support team should provide support, not direct questions to different channels and then definitions of what "technical" means, even if it does mean something different (and so vague as to be meaningless) to them. I asked a question of the support team that pertained to a philosophical question, not a technical question: Considering that I submitted an assignment based upon an incompletely formatted example (that was available to me), would I be required (by the SheCodes team) to continue formatting my assignment to match an example that did not exist (to my eyes) until after I had submitted my assignment? When I indicated that my question was not technical in nature (I had no difficulties creating a document, coding a document to match the example available to me, or submitting a document), I was told that, essentially, all questions are technical questions and if I want an answer I should submit my questions to the proper channel. This is not a free course and it is alarming to me to be paying for support and receiving resistance, instead. Just an FYI. I am learning a lot, but I am someone who enjoys the Googling and searching and fiddling. If I were taking this course with the idea of getting (and receiving) much support from the support team, I'm not sure how that would be going.
This is such an amazing opportunity and each lesson is so fun to try out.
Thank you SheCodes! I never expected that coding could be so much fun! To create something and make it better, it's so interesting! Thank you for the opportunity and for lessons!
I am grateful for this amazing course. It was a challenge, but I had a lot of fun. Also, I want to thank Matt, who was a great teacher, and the SheCodes team for all their help and support.
This course was a great introduction to coding, I enjoyed it more than I ever imagined I would and am now hoping to pursue a career in development! The instructor was great and made learning even the most difficult parts fun. Couldn't recommend this course enough!
I learned a lot. Every lesson was understandable and fun.This course is really practical and good for begginers.
I had so much fun learning the basics of coding with the SheCodes basics workshop. I have no previous experience in coding at all. This course made it so easy to follow and understand. I love that the lesson videos are broken into shorter digestible snippets and have challenges to check your understanding. I took this course to test the waters and see if it is the direction I would like to go career-wise. So far I am loving it! I can say that I will definitely be taking the next workshop to further expand my knowdelge of coding.
In January of this year I graduated Springboard with a certification in UI/UX Design and landed my first job as a User Experience Designer. I was exposed to the basics of HTML and CSS at Springboard but didn't have a deep understanding of them. Working with developers on several projects revealed this skill gap for me so I began looking for a course that would make learning code fun and found SheCodes! I have learned so much in these 3 weeks and I am so excited to use the skills I have gained to make me a better designer and teammate. Thank you!
This course is super challenging but fun!
I joined SheCodes Basics with no prior knowledge of coding, and after just 3 weeks I was able to create a dynamic webpage using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The lessons throughout the course were easy to follow along with, and the challenges were fun and challenging to try. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in seeing what coding is about!
I was really excited to start this workshop, I didn't wait till the next Monday, I enrolled on Friday and got through pretty quick. It was really important for me to stay motivated and get things done (as I'm working full-time) - the weekly deadlines definetely helped me with it. I had some experience with HTML, but definetely not enough. I feel like I learned enough to know that I want to continue learning more - coding can be fun :)
I love the course! It has been super motivating and fun!
I have loved every minute of this workshop and am oddly sad to be graduating already but so excited to start my job hunt! I have learned so much from SheCodes. The staff is phenomenal and Matt has done an impeccable job designing this workshop to make it easy to understand, challenging enough, and actually fun.
I'm glad I gave coding a try. I had always thought it was not for me, but it's actually quite fun. Thank you SheCodes! ❤
Very interesting and super clear how to build your own solution! Highly recommended for students who would like to spend time efficiently and fun!
Loved everything about this workshop! It was super fun creating a responsive portfolio from scratch. Thank you so much Matt for your passion of teaching us how to code and making it so much fun!
It was really fun and easy to follow! Loved all the exercises because it really felt like I could put everything in practice.
Building your own website from scratch was such a rewarding experience! I love that this workshop gives such a strong backbone for how to create a clean, SEO friendly, responsive, functional website, yet still gives student the flexibility to let their imaginations run wild and design something totally unique. I also love that the SheCodes team always remind us that there isn't just 'one right answer' for a solution - this gives the students flexibility and a natural learning ability.
It was very engaging and fun! Can't wait to join new workshops.
SheCodes has been one of the most enriching experiences I have had. Not only are the workshops fun, but you also learn in a very dynamic way, which I love!
This workshop is very helpful and fun! I can learn and do the challenges according to my free time too. Thanks Matt for all easy-to-understand explanations!!
This was challenging and fun. Looking forward to learning more. Thank you.
I really enjoyed the responsive lessons. I had so much fun working on the portfolio. Many thanks to Matt. I cant wait for the next new lessons - react.
As someone in STEM, coding is clearly a very important skill to have, and I was very unconfident in my coding skills prior to this course, as it was limited to Excel coding. After the SheCodes Basics course I feel more confident in my skills, and motivated to keep practicing. It was actually fun!
Amazing course and amazing teacher! The material is presented so clearly and logically! I am delighted! Got a lot of fun! Matt, thank you so much!
I have really enjoyed SheCodes Basics workshop. The lessons were easy to follow, packed with information and really fun! Looking forward to continuing my learning journey. Thanks so much to SheCodes Foundation for this amazing opportunity!
Thanks to easy to follow lessons and live support on Slack learning was a lot of fun!
A lot of work, challenges and good fun.
If English is not your native language, don't worry, just try it and have some fun. Thank you 🧑🎓
I would definitely recommend SheCodes for any woman who wants to learn more about programming. Completing the lessons was a very fun way to get knowledge. I was very happy when I finish my final project.
This time it's was harder than basic course, but fun and challenging in good way. Pacing was so good, you have time to re-do or re-think whole concept and measure your abilities vs wishes.
I had so much fun during the first 3 weeks. I'm definitely looking forward to start the Plus workshop.
I had so much fun completing SheCodes Basics, Matt's explanations were really clear and I truly enjoyed having challenges to put my skills to test :) No need to say I'm 100% ready for more! 💜
I highly recommend SheCodes workshops for everyone. Each video is very informative and clear. Each task is extremely fun and interesting. After completing this course I am very motivated to continue learning coding and I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity to start coding with SheCodes.
Now I am really starting to believe that coding can be fun and it is not a rocket science )) Thank you, SheCodes.
As a complete beginner, I started my coding journey with SheCodes in April 2022, which was purely coincidental. I can't believe I've come all the way to completing the React course! The videos are super fun and informative, as Matt guides you step-by-step on what you should be doing. Even 30 minutes a day will help you get a long way.
That is the best course I have ever had in my life! It's super well explained and fun!
Loved this one! Challenging but once again fairly easy to follow and so much fun to learn 🧠. Would honestly say this is a great way to learn coding.
That was a really interesting and fun part of the course. Great lessons!
In December 2021, with no knowledge whatsoever of coding, I applied to the SheCodes Workshop Foundation and was selected in January to begin learning coding with SheCodes. Today, 7 months down the line, I, Juliet Nnaji, am now a Front-end Developer who is proficient in interpreting designs and building functional, responsive, and user-friendly websites; and also familiar with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, and React. I can not say thank you enough to Matt and the SheCodes team for taking a chance on me.
For someone who doesn't have any coding basics like myself, this course was very easy and fun to follow!
I will never tire of thanking the SheCodes team for such an amazing opportunity to be part of it. Coding is really fun and interesting (especially when you get it right the first time) Special thanks to the support team for their patience and prompt feedback. Happy Coding ! :)
I think SheCodes Basics is a great investment. It introduced me to the world of coding and taught me the basic fundamentals, all in 3 weeks! When I was learning by myself, through apps, it only taught me coding language, such as html elements for links, images, headings. However, it never taught me how to apply this language and create a functioning webpage. SheCodes filled in this gap and taught me through coding software that developers are actually using. I look forward to continuing my coding journey and thank SheCodes for giving me a great starting foundation!
Building a weather app in this part of the course was very challenging but nevertheless exciting! Now I have a pretty decent project to put on my profile. I really liked that everything was well-explained, so I had zero problems while working on home tasks and the final project. Overall, I learned a lot and had fun in the process :)
Thanks to the shecodesfoundation for the opportunity to attend this workshop. I had a great time! This course is the perfect combination of fun video tutorials and practical exercises. This is exactly what is needed for beginners.
The program is very interesting! The theory is clearly explained and a lot of time is allocated for practice. Lessons are quite clear and fun. I really like this education format when step-by-step teacher explain material.
After successfully completing SheCodes Responsive course, I believe that I have gained the required skills that will help me become more precise and creative as a Front-End Developer. Playing around with design and code was not only fun but also honed my skills. Practicing your skills and seeing your work come to life is the best thing about coding.
I have had so much fun throughout the course! Thank you for giving me the scrimps while realizing that coding is not rocket science and even true humanitarians like me can do it :)
I have enjoyed learning React with SheCodes in this course. I wanted to challenge myself with this project and developed an app I was proud of. This workshop was informative, fun, and interesting. Highly recommended!
I went into this with a bit of apprehension because I am not the best with tech in general but It is an incredibly easy-to-follow workshop and the tasks were really nice and fun to complete.
It was very interesting and awesome 8 week cource. It was may be a little bit complicated for beginner in some chellanges but solved these chellanges was very useful and interesting. I did so beautiful and functional application and I see my growth in programming thankful this. It very good programming practis. Thank you Matt and SheCodes Team for this - you are amazing!!!
It has been an amazing experience to learn with SheCodes! All the classes and challenges were super fun to complete, and using all the skills learned to build the weather app was amazing! Thank you Matt teaching me so much! Can't wait to start the next workshop!
The course is very exciting and full of challenges but at the same time is fun. Step by step my understanding of the coding is going up. It is motivating to solve a more complex tasks. Thanks.
It was super fun😍
Building a weather app is so much fun yet challenging. I've learned a lot in these past 8 weeks. Time really flew by! Matt is such a fantastic instructor, he explains everything you need to know in a way that is easy to understand and digest. It's been an amazing journey so far. I cannot thank you enough!
I have tried some courses before enrolling into SheCodes courses; none of them made learning easy the way SheCode courses do. I like the way the courses are structured with a lot of practice labs. SheCodes makes learning fun and I will definitely recommend SheCodes courses to anyone who wants to learn how to code.
She Codes Basics has been an amazing experience. The classes were easy to understand and follow along with and very informative. I liked the challenges as they really helped me grasp an understanding of the coding elements. It was great to be self-paced and the final project was fun to work on. I recommend everyone takes a She Codes course!
I had a wonderful time completing SheCodes Plus! It was fun and challenging creating a custom weather application. I really enjoyed working through the concepts presented to be able to code my final project. Matt explains concepts very well throughout the course. I am very happy that I can now code and easily understand CSS, HTML, and Javascript! ☺️ I am looking forward to completing the next two SheCodes courses, Responsive and React!
SheCodes Basics workshop is very easy to follow and the projects are so fun. I enjoyed my time. The support system is great and responsive. SheCodes family on Slack help each other. I am excited to start my next workshop.
This was very fun and a great way to get started if you want to learn how to code and don't know where to begin. The SheCodes Basic course has given me an opportunity to peek behind the curtain and access a whole new world. Obviously, you won't learn everything there is to know in this course - but it has left me wanting to know more!
I had so much fun learning about the basics of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. The course was easy to follow and if I needed help, all I had to do is just ask a question on the slack channel.
I found this course so exciting!! I learned so much about working with JS functions and targeting API data. The videos are easy to follow and Matt explains the coding process very well!
This workshop has been very easy to follow and super fun! The support system is great. The challenges and assignments are well-scaffolded. I'm excited to continue learning and expanding my skills with coding!
I highly recommend SheCodes to everyone who wants to start coding. It is so much fun! The whole set up and the tutorials are very clear and easy to follow. Matt is a great instructor!
I can't believe it only takes 3 weeks to learn how to build a website! This course is wonderful - it's fluent, uses short lessons and quick tasks that really improve the learning process, it's fun and with a flexible timeline - SheCodes is really the best online course I've ever taken! I especially enjoyed the design part of it - web development is such a cool way to express your ideas!
The basic course is easy to follow. By doing simple exercises step by step, at the end of the second week I understood that I had some skills and started to have fun with coding.
Thank you SheCodes team for making this course challenging and easy to follow. It has been such a wonderful journey. I've learned an incredible amount over the past year, and I've had such fun coding with you guys. I'm really grateful for this platform and glad I took all the courses. Cheers to you all!
Another great course from SheCodes! Very fun and well-structured. This course was a great way to take my first steps to building responsive websites.
It was hard, but superfun!
Taking this workshop was hard at times but also so much fun. If you like doing puzzles or building things, you will definitely like coding. I would do it all over again and have recommended to friends if they are interested in learning something new.
I really enjoyed the lessons and the exercises. Each lesson is short (up to 12 minutes) and delivered very clearly! There were very challenging exercises for someone who doesn't have any background in programming, but at the same time very fun! I highly recommend signing up if you are unsure about coding. I enjoyed every minute and I'm glad I was finally exposed to the world of programming!
It was a quite challenging, fun and an interesting ride. Especially the building of the Weather App. From no prior coding skill to being able to build a Functioning Weather APP. Thank you so much Shecodes team and most especially Matt for this great Opportunity. I am so excited with what Shecodes is doing that I had to send invite to all the females in my contact to be part of this and I am glad that more than 12 of my female friends have been able to join Shecodes. Shecodes is a movement and I am grateful to be part of this. Shecodes should be in the Guiness book of record for the impact they are making.
I've learned a lot during that course, I enhanced my skills and have a lot of fun too. What is the most valueable is that You are building an app during the whole course together with the tutorials and challanges.
Since starting I have fallen in love with learning how to code! I feel like at first coding sounded intimidating but once I really put my all into it and asked questions when needed it became eye-opening and fun!
SheCodes workshop has been a great experience for me. I learned more about coding than I could have ever imagined, and Matt is one of the best teacher that I had seen. He manages to explain things in a way that is very easy to understand, as well as making it interactive so that you can learn while having fun.
This has been challenging and fun. The videos are a great way to follow along as you learn!
Short videos and flexible learning time were just the right thing for me. Had so much fun and this is definitely not the end of learning coding for me!
I never thought that coding can be easy and bring so much fun! I had fears that I wouldn't be able to pass it. This first 3-week course showed how amazing coding can be. I want to go on improving my skills in it!
This has been a fun journey! I’ve been a massage therapist for 9 years and the transition to enter into the tech world has been an amazing experience thanks to Shecodes.io!
I came across a SheCodes ad on Instagram, and I thought, why not try the one-hour free course? I and so happy that I did! The free course inspired me to sign-up for the three-week Basics Course, and I loved it! I plan to continue studying, but I must plan my time wisely. I highly recommend SheCodes to anyone interested in learning to code. It's fun and fulfilling! I hope to change careers in the near future. Thank you SheCodes for offering these coding courses at a reasonable price!
Thank you very much for the opportunity to get new knowledge! Every week, opening tasks and trying to do them myself, I felt incredibly inspired. Thanks to the SheCodes team, I can confidently say that programming is fun, especially when you start your journey with SheCodes!
Thank you very much SheCodes for the opportunity to learn in such an easy and fun way. The course provides many opportunities for practicing, which is the most important thing in programming.
SheCodes Basics was a super fun introduction to web development for me. The small challenges and weekly homework assignments really motivated me to keep going and I'm impressed by how much I could learn in 3 weeks next to my full-time job. Highly recommend!
The truth is that the course has been perfect! It helps you to solve problems by combining different tools learned! I really enjoyed it and had fun with the challenges and homeworks. I’m happy to continue learning.
Honestly , once I desired to submit my last project I was a bit sad and thinking about It is over now .💔😪😞 because I may not do any SheCodes challenge anymore .💔💔😟 No more asking questions on Slack.💔🙁 And without a doubt I have this sense that SheCodes had have become a part of me and I can not believe this is over 💔 So I will keep all the good memories that I have collected here .❤❤❤❤❤ SheCodes Team and dear Matt please don`t forget me .😥 I had a really great time during my 10 month studying with you guys and of course with all of my colleges too. It was the best experience I could have had. I really enjoyed so much. it was so fun and full of learning . I love you and I will be missing you a lot . Thanks for everything. 🥰🥰🥰
SheCodes Plus was a big challenge for me, I felt overwhelmed sometimes but was a perfect way to push me more and more to continue. The final project was super funny and beautiful at the end. Can't wait for the next step.
This course made learning react fun; the challenges left me feeling accomplished.
Learning with Matt on SheCodes is fun, engaging, and not tiring at all. I like how each lesson is structured. I especially liked that I had to search for some information because I believe that it's extremely useful for my future job.
Lessons are explained in an easy way. Homework tasks are also very clear, but I find a little difficult to remember the code elements. Coding was very interesting and fun for me.
Taking the workshop was really fun and I learned a lot. I'm glad that I decided to give it a chance because it doesn't need to be so complicated, to learn how to code. I'd definately recommend this to anyone who is interested in coding, even if absolute beginners to it. This has made me want to get more into coding.
This class was really fun! I felt myself becoming more and more comfortable writing HTML and CSS. I'm excited to keep learning!
I had a lot of fun learning the basics of coding with Matt. I really liked how quick and to-the-point his teaching material videos were. I'm really looking forward to learning more about coding with him and his SheCodes team.
As a complete beginner I found the lessons clear and easy to follow. The challenges were fun and the community feeling and support from other students on slack was a huge plus
Enjoyed learning something new! The content was easily digestible and fun.
Learned a lot and had a lot of fun, too!
This workshop was challenging, fun, and helped me grow my skills to the next level.
It was a very good introductory course to coding! Previously, I tried learning how to code alone and from school; however, this course taught me a lot about the basics. There are things that I wanted to add and learn on my own while going through the process; but, the fundamentals are here to help you along the way.
SheCodes was a fun and hands-on course! A nice introduction to front-end web development and a great structure to the course and assignments. Thank you and see you in SheCodes Plus!
After the basic workshop, I decided to continue my SheCodes journey. It was, of course, more challenging, but it was also fun and I learned a lot more about coding. I am looking forward to continuing this journey 😉
SheCodes has been a fun, challenging and engaging way to learn front-end development. Matt is entertaining and does a great job at explaining complex concepts for anyone to understand.
