I signed up for SHE CODES hoping to understand the basics of coding and maybe start my one website from scratch … but I left with much more. I learned how the internet works, some of the tools to do my own website, the 'where' to go to continue learning and improving my newest skills. Learned the basics of product management and to understand based on retrieved data what my clients want and what I can change. Not only was the workshop both inspiring and challenging but during the 3 days, I had the opportunity to network with 27 amazing women full of entrepreneurship ideas and dreams to make the difference. Matt and the rest of the team were great professors even talking about such complex themes. I would recommend this course to every woman I know that wants to understand more about coding.
Such a cool agenda, making coding and web development in general more appealing and accessible to women. Pretty much made me feel like I look in the pic, but I got a great intro to a whole new world, like if I was trying to learn physics or astronomy from scratch. SheCodes is tha bomb!
I wanted to learn more about working in tech and get a foot in the door, since prior to the workshop I never knew where to beginn. She Codes was the perfect kick starter for this aspiration and gave me valueable insights into the logic behind as well as a toolset that allows me to explore this world further on my own. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this happen, it's been a great experience!
She Codes is an wonderful opportunity to make your first steps in the world of coding! I highly recommend this workshop for all women who have thought about learning more about this exciting industry. Be prepared for intense days full of learning, but also spending time with other motivational and ambitious women.
The She Codes course was an excellent overview of all the different aspects of coding - front end, back end, and career paths in the industry. From what I learned in only 4 Saturdays I am able to make tweaks to my website and even have the confidence to try building one myself. Matt and the team are excellent teachers.
She Codes was a fun and inviting workshop that gave us a solid overview of the different components of working in tech. It was a balanced mix of listening and hands-on learning, with helpful and patient teachers who covered a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend the course to any women who engage with tech--which is the large majority of us--but have never been invited to the table. Thanks She Codes team!
I saw She Codes as a great opportunity to learn something new in a field I know almost nothing about. I have to say I truly enjoyed it, had fun with other participants and broadened my knowledge. I’d definitely recommend it to everyone who loves challenges and learning new stuff!
SheCodes is a brilliant initiative! It gives a great (read: intense) introduction to the world of tech, including product development, product design and product management. I would recommend this workshop to any woman interested in tech, no matter if the purpose is to make website for your startup, change career or just learn more about coding. SheCodes was an eye-opener for me. With this basic knowledge of coding, I’m now able to create things which before appeared to be very complex. I wish more women to be given this opportunity. Thank you!
I am so thankful for having been able to be part of She Codes 2.0! It was such a great experience and it was super interesting and excited to get a better insight into the world of coding. After having finished the She Codes workshop, I definitely want to keep working on my coding skills. I can only recommend this workshop to every woman who wants to learn about coding but is afraid of applying to a coding workshop because it might be too complex or out of this world. Matt teaches you coding in such a great and understandable way - it was simply amazing!
She Codes has been a great opportunity to learn more about coding, and the course has given me the perfect toolkit to continue pursuing my interest in web development. Participating in She Codes has been extremely empowering, and I loved meeting the other women in the course. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is curious about coding!
HELLO WORLD : She Codes is brilliant! I have been a teacher for a long time but wanted to change my career to become a coder and this course gave me the perfect introduction and motivation I needed to start. The teachers are amazing at what they do, all very experienced and successful in their areas but most importantly they make the experience so much fun! I loved being a part of such a small and dedicated team, replete of inspiring women and actually looked forward to the early Saturday mornings, even on little sleep ;)) You will learn a lot but also make friends and share laughs. Lisbon just got a little bit better with SheCodes. : ))
She Codes is a great opportunity for all women to feel even more motivated to work with tech. For me, it took off all that scary gaps from start learning something that seems to be difficult to see how exciting it is, no matter if you know a little or nothing. That's why it's so cool, it gives accessibility and makes possible for every women a "tech" new beginning!
Participating on She Codes gave me the first tools to start learning to code on my own and made me dream about doing new projects in joint ventures with designers, developers and journalist.
When i first applied, I immediately thought this program would be an excellent opportunity for me to learn more about coding and this project delivered it, I loved it and not only did I learn about the basics of the front end coding world and a little bit of back end but I made friends with women equally excited to learn code. My computing skills are still low but I’m thankful for this 4 weeks because it allowed me to set a strong basis for my future in html and css and it was all done by amazing and patient teachers. This programme made confirm that I really would like to pursue programming in the future.
This was a fantastic workshop, offering an excellent opportunity to learn about the world of coding from broad concepts such as how the internet functions to understanding the details of how to populate, style and animate interactive websites. Our teachers did a brilliant job of illustrating how Product Development, Product Design and Product Management are used and interlinked, referencing familiar websites as examples and providing lots of practical exercises. You guys are an inspiration. Thank you!
It has been an honor to be part of the first SheCodes sessions, I loved it and would recommend it to any Women entrepreneur! I have been learning so much about the web development industry and it have been a huge support for the progress of my own start-up! Now I know that with some more training I can Code things that I never thought I could do before.
I've always had a big interest in web development and She codes gave me the perfect tools to finally understand the basic of it and start learning more. An inspiring and motivating experience that I advise to all women with an interest in technology.
