SheCodes

SheCodes made me develop a taste for coding which I didn't realize I had! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of coding and front-end development

I had a 2 day workshop about the basics of coding, in Decembre 2018. I dont have any background in the IT career, in fact i studied phychology. 

Matt was the instructor i'm so gratefull for that. It was intense but i feel that I learned a lot. 

Now, i work as QA, i still have a lot to learn but i feel that She Codes workshop give me the motivation and the strenght to carry on. 

Thank you so much to all of SheCodes team :D

SheCodes was one of the best experiences I have with workshops/courses - probably my excitement and the fact that we were a group of women added up to it.

I am a fan of fast-paced, hands-on courses, that is what works best for me in terms of learning. In this sense, SheCodes fits perfectly my learning style. During the weekend we managed to get the basics of coding, had plenty of exercises meant to help us understand better the concepts and in the end finished with an assignment in which we had to apply everything we learned before. 

Matt was a really cool instructor, very professional, structured and clear in his speech. On top of that, he had quite funny geeky jokes :)

All in all, it was a good experience that I recommend to any woman curious to know more about coding.

Two days that passed really fast. We had an introduction to HTML, CSS and javascript that allowed us to understand how they work and how they are integrated with each other. As a software tester, I saw some improvements in my day-to-day work. I must recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to start programming

Last December I took the SheCodes workshop just for fun, to learn something new. Now, I'm starting my new career in programming!

The worshop was a very enriching experience and a lot of fun. Matt can make it seem like coding is easy :)

I fell in love with programming, right away. I recommend to any woman who wants to learn to code, even if it is to renew concepts. For me it was the beginning of a new adventure!

It will give you all the basis of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and what you need to make a conscious decision, if you want coding to be part of your life. If you are afraid to be bored, don’t!  The speaker will lead you to a fun learning experience! You will be dazzled by what you learnt and the results of what you can do afterall! 

SheCodesPlus has been amazing. In such a short period of time I had the chance to adquire technical knowledge and valuable coding skills. It has been challenging, but with a high satisfaction return when putting together all I learnt and making my first web app working!  Lessons were always stimulating and, together with the enthusiasm shared by the other girls, always fun! 

She codes is a place where you can learn code in a relaxed environmental. It is useful not only because you can learn front-end but also get an idea of the potential of this world. Matt and the team of she code really helps to appreciate code world.

 

“She codes is great if you wanna start coding and learn the basics. The weekend was a bit intensive, but very satisfying and worth it, and even though you'll be in a room for many hours the time just flies by without you noticing. I learned a lot in such a short time and I highly recommend this course to all first time coders.”

I highly recommend doing the She Codes workshop! With She Codes I finally learned the basics of html, css and JavaScript and took a first step into the world of tech. The workshop was very demanding, but still so educational, inspiring and extremely dynamic and practical with an incredible teacher that helped us through every step of the way during all weekend. After the workshop my curiosity and desire to learn more about coding reached a whole other level of enthusiasm! I can't wait to continue the work I began in She Codes.

She Codes Porto was an introduction to the world of coding: HTML, CSS and Javascript. It was for sure a very helpful and good workshop for someone who doesn't know anything about coding and wants to start to learn more.

I totally recommend it!

It was the perfect weekend, learned a lot speacilly how it is to dive in the coding world. The environment is great, and it was really easy to learn with Matt.
Totally recommend this workshop. :)

SheCodes is the perfect introduction workshop to coding that one could experience! I say this as someone who was afraid (but always curious) about coding, since the world always made it seem like such a complex and difficult thing to learn. Well, after SheCodes and have met Matt and everyone else, I can confidently say that that is not true. The workshop was intense and challeging, but also very simple and direct. It's the perfect introduction and the push that some might need to enter the world of programming. So wether you already like coding or want to discover where you stand towards it, this is a workshop I greatly recommend. It was worth every moment!

With a fast but finely worked pace, in a weekend you know at least how it works HTML, CSS, and JS. Matt is a great teacher, that with humour, organized content and a lot of know-how, can make you understan a little bit of this world that is coding. 

The purpose of these workshop is for you, as a woman, gain love for the coding area. And I believe, that in the end of this workshop you will want to scratch more the surface of this new world.

I attended this course to help me understand JavaScript, I was having a tough time on my own. I'm very happy to say that it was totally worth it!

Very intense, very complete and also very fun! 

Two days at the SheCodes workshop and I'm already a professional developer, or at least it made me feel like one!
Most people get scared to even think about learning code: I was one of them until I met Matt in an SC "teaser workshop" at the place I work and my fear turned into excitement. Starting off with the insight Matt gave us about women's role throughout history and how can we be more relevant in the current tech revolution. It made me feel like I could play a part in its development hence I enrolled in the workshop.
Logistics wise, everything was so well organized, all the volunteers were very helpful and they made a great job creating a nice, welcoming environment for coders to share ideas, chill out during breaks and even having a drink after a long day of coding.
The learning experience was off the chart, in so little time I got to learn a lot and have close contact with a variety of subjects that helped me prepare for a more intensive study in the future. The final project submission was both very challenging but rewarding due to all the support from classmates at Slack.
Overall, the one thing I would change is the number of days, because I surely didn't want to leave!​

Going on board on the SheCodes journey, I was initially apprehensive about diving into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, the course structure was so well-paced and the lessons remarkably easy to grasp. I never felt overwhelmed, which was a pleasant surprise! I especially enjoyed experimenting with CSS gradients and found the provided snippets and tools incredibly helpful in bringing my project to life. A huge thank you to Matt; his teaching style is truly simplified and clear, making even complex concepts feel accessible. I'm now genuinely excited and looking forward to exploring more with the upcoming SheCodes courses.
