SheCodes Basics Reviews

Ever since I took an introduction to programming course in high school, I was always intimidated by coding. I didn't understand how or why people enjoyed spending hours at a computer. The words they were writing did not make sense to me (and that black screen with colored words = frightening!). However, deep down inside I've always wanted to learn how to code. It's such a useful skill to know! SheCodes gave me the confidence I needed to learn about coding! Most lessons are followed by a challenge, and at the end of the week you complete a homework assignment. Matt makes everything understandable. If you have questions, João, Lexi and other SheCodes coders can be reached on the Slack channel. I also love that Lexi follows up with each coder each week! I am hesitant about self-paced courses, but Lexi really helps to keep you accountable.
I now understand how coders can spend hours at their computers--they are doing something that they love! This is a course for all ages. I highly recommend! At the end, you'll get a certificate that you can post on our LinkedIn website. What are you waiting for? Sign up! :) 

I started the courses with hesitation and fear because trying something new is always scary, and I thought coding is out my league. . My fears disappeared at the very first workshop. The welcome notes from the founder blew my fears away. The classes were well put together easy to follow. Every time I did stack  or needed help the Slack team was there for me(us) I learned a lot and looking forward to co to continue with following workshops. Thank you SheCodes❣️❣️ ❣️

If you have even the slightest interest in coding, do the SheCodes Workshop! At first I was a bit skeptical as to whether I would enjoy the course as I've attempted to code in the past but it never stuck. Believe me, it's worth it! The videos are clear, concise and Matt makes everything as easy to follow as possible. The challenges and homework set out are one of the things that stick out for me from the programme compared to other learning platforms; They encourage you to practise what you've learnt and research things on your own. Another amazing perk is that Matt teaches you not only how to code, but also provides tips along the way of which resources are best to use alongside. It's been an amazing experience and I look forward to doing the SheCodes Plus workshop next!

“Investing in myself by taking my first-ever coding class with the SheCodes Online Workshop is one of the best investments I have ever made this year during the COVID-19 pandemic. At SheCodes, each week consists of short and digestible videos (8-12 mins) along with a coding challenge per video and a weekly homework assignment at the end of the week. At week-3, I have to complete a culminating project where I applied everything I have learned! As a hands-on learner with zero background in computer science or previous coding knowledge, I found myself highly motivated and curious to learn more from start to finish and beyond! I have never imagined that one day I would be able to create my own project from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in less than 3 weeks. Matt (the instructor) is very organized and clearly explains all the relevant and updated information and resources. All the lessons are also very well scaffolded like a building block! Although there are no group-work assignments in the beginner 3-week course, students can always ask questions about their coding challenges and homework (if stuck) on a Slack forum where all students can join the conversation and help one another solve problems. (Questions that are posted on Slack are also being monitored closely by the SheCodes staff.) Now I can't wait to continue exploring more deeply into the world of programming in the SheCodes Plus React Workshops. Thanks to Matt, his team, and the Slack Community for creating a wonderful learning experience to empower more women to enter the tech industry!! Kob-Khun Kha (Thank you in Thai😊🙏)! 👩🏻‍💻”

I decided to take SheCodes after doing a lot of research and a taster class with Matt. I immideately signed up and I loved every moment of the workshop. The videos for learning how to code are so straight forward and clear and there are alway takes that go along with each new lesson which really helps to understand what you've been shown and if you ever get stuck on something, SheCodes has built a community of people who want to help and support your learning.

My SheCodes experiences was amazing! The workshop was super easy and user friendly. Coding can be intimidating, but Matt explains each lesson clearly and the challenges are easy to do. If you're stuck with a challenge, someone from the SheCodes team is always willing to help. Before SheCodes my experience with coding was only through Myspace and Tumblr. This workshop is a great foundation if you're curious about coding and would like to learn coding. Thank you Matt for creating this workshop for women. Now I'm confident that I have a chance in the tech world among the men. I can't wait to use what I've learned in the workshop and apply it my next job.
