London-based and work in project management for a charity.
I really enjoyed working on this project because it was a lot easier than React but still challenging at some points. And it looks really cool! I am thrilled I have my personal portfolio with four projects that I can show the world. Thanks for everything!
This SheCodes course was a great starting point to learn about HTML, CSS and JavaScript and also gives you the chance to explore different ways you can use them through the final project. Super stoked to learn the basics and am keen to develop my skills further!
I really enjoyed working on the projects. The lessons were explained very well.
SheCodes does it again. Another great workshop. When I finished my React workshop and worked on other coding projects I really felt like my responsive design needed some work, so I was thrilled when this workshop got introduced. Matt [as always] is a fantastic teacher and this workshop has improved my skills as a designer of ten-folds.
As a Computer Science major this really helped me find my love for coding again and I loved how free I was to do whatever I want and not have to follow a strict assignment as I would in school. I can see myself just playing around with what I learned as a new hobby now because I can see how I can put my own interests and combine them like I did with my final project.
😎Happy to have completed this project and to apply these skills forward to some of my own projects.
Another great online course from SheCodes! Thank you Matt and the SheCodes team for helping and encouraging me to learn. Although we worked on a very specific project in SheCodesPlus, I felt I had the opportunity to explore my interests, take chances, experiment, and build the foundation for future learning. I'm looking forward to more!
I really enjoyed this course, the way the lessons are split into fast, straight to the point videos is great! Also, having challenges and a project to work on is extremely helpful for people that "learn by doing".
SheCodes was a blast! I was hesitant to hand in my final project, knowing the course would be over once I did. Matt is a great teacher, and the Slack program was a big help too. I learnt a lot from other students, and feel confident in my abilities with what was taught. I'm excited to change career paths and continue my learning! Thank you for helping more women to code.
I am so happy that this workshop has been added! There were a lot of new discoveries and resources to help with creating a professional site. This course has certainly elevated the skills/techniques I have already learned. I definitely feel I can push myself further with my final project and will continue to work on it. Thank you to Matt and the SheCodes team for all your help and guidance.
I was hesitant at first but I finally decided to give it a try cause 1) it kept popping up as ads on YouTube or a game I was playing 2) I wanted to try something new, for myself, that didn't take up too much of my time from my 16 and 7 year old boys, both with disabilities. Surprisingly, it IS how they say it is. Only a few hours a week and anyone, I mean anyone, can do it. I had no knowledge of coding what-so-ever. But I really enjoyed doing the challenges and the project. He warns you that you won't understand a lot but at the same time it makes sense if you understand how to use the tools he gives. My advice to anyone giving it some thought, if you have a few hours to spare a week, then just go for it. And try not to overthink anything cause there is nothing to overthink. You have the help of others at your finger tips. Yes, it can be frustrating at times (nothing comes without frustration) but it's all worth it in the end.
One more time, this course was amazing! Happy to code, not one project but two! Each one project, we have the basic concepts to start and learn but at same time is open to get more creative and develop more features and test our limitions! And don't forget the support! Amazing people: João, Matt, Daniela that help us and make our lives ease when we don't get why our code doesn't work! Thank you guys! I'm so glad to be part of SheCodes family!
This was such a great course! It gave a really great understanding in how to use React and being able to make two projects really helped to consolidate everything that we had learned in the earlier weeks.
This was a great course - so important to understand how to build responsive sites. Easy to follow, great lessons and challenges, and a great final project that you can use to showcase your work.
Once again, SheCodes has given me the confidence & tools I need to continue my coding journey! Matt is a wonderful instructor, giving you all the information needed to complete your projects + gaining the ability & groundwork to create your own. I'd highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested & look forward to continuing my personal journey with the SheCodes React & Responsive workshops.
Great teaching! so looking forward to the next few projects & challenges! 😁
I highly recommend the SheCodes course! The structure of the course is perfect and I learnt so much in a very short time! The final project was much fun and I was really proud of myself about what I've built from scratch. I am really looking forward to go deeper into coding! Thanks to Matt and the whole SheCodes - Team! 😊
So much fun and the easiest way I've ever tried to learn how to code! I'll definitely keep learning html & javascript even though I've finished the final project.
Having done a few short coding courses in the past, I am so glad that I chose to do learn to code with SheCodes! Well paced learning and super helpful support team who are always on hand to help. Matt is awesome and the slow down/ speed up feature is super useful. Definitely feel a great sense of achievement after submitting my final project for SheCode Basic. Look forwards to more learning in SheCodes Plus!
SheCodes was the best option that I could choose in the past 3 weeks. I was having web development at the college but I was struggling a lot to understand javascript. But in this platform, everything is possible to learn! I'm so proud to see my final project done in less than a day! Thanks, SheCodes Team!
This was a great way to get started with coding, really like the projects.
I'm so grateful to have found SheCodes! Matt is an excellent instructor. The lessons are clear and concise and the projects are fun and challenging. If you want to get started with coding, I highly recommend SheCodes! I look forward to continuing my coding education with the next SheCodes workshop! Thank you!
It took a lot of thinking but everything I learned from Week 1-2 was everything I needed to be successful with the project!
I had so much fun in this workshop. The final project is challenging but enjoyable since you build the site as you work on each lesson. Matt is a great instructor. This course is for anyone looking into extending their coding skills. Looking forward to the next workshop "React" :)
Continuing my coding journey with the SheCodes Responsive workshop as soon as it was available was a no-brainer for me 😀. I enjoyed every workshop on this platform and would recommend it to anyone who is curious about coding or wants to increase their career opportunities. I started from scratch, with zero coding knowledge and although there are some tricky parts (hello JavaScript! 👋) I feel like I've learned so so much during the last weeks (or rather months 😃). Can't wait for more workshops and projects to come!
I have always picked up new systems very easy so thought why not try coding. I do not regret it! It has been great to learn, be challenged and create. Matt explains everything very clear and if you are ever in doubt or get stuck, there are numerous hint and tips in every video and you have a great community that can help you! It is an amazing feeling when you finish your final project and realise what you are now capable of! 🤩
As frustrating as brilliant, said with love! There is a lot to wrap your head around, but instructions are clear and highlights the fact that learning to code is hard, there is not just one solution and that practise is necessary - I wish I'd had more time set aside personally, but as the project is finished, I'm looking forward to go back and review the steps and develop a deeper understanding and become more proficient before enrolling in next step
I would have loved to have more projects to prepare for the final one since it was quite difficult in my opinion. Apart from that it was so much fun!
SheCodes Responsive has been a perfect addition to the SheCodes workshops. Matt makes the course concepts seem quite straight forward, but putting them into practice was quite challenging and at the same time super rewarding. It's given me the motivation to continue my coding journey and find new projects to add to my portfolio.
I've really enjoyed the course and the way elements have logically built on each other. The final project was a good way to put everything into practice.
Would definitely recommend to people that are brand new to coding, Matt goes everything in a very detailed manner that doesn't overwhelm you. The videos are easy to follow along to and courses can be done at anytime which provides great flexibility. The only things I didn't like was having to do the first two lessons on codepen and then switching to VS Code for projects after and having the CSS and JS done within the HTML file (but I am sure that it's like that so the team can grade things easier).
It's been a journey, I'm so happy that I attended the SheCodes Plus workshop! I loved doing the final project and will use everything that I learned in the future for sure. Everyone at SheCodes is friendly and supportive, and the classes are extremely well explained. I feel very confident to continue on this coding journey.
The workshops and the instructor, are both brilliant, I would highly recommend SheCodes for anyone interested in changing their careers in order to learn the fundamentals of programming as well as working on real-based projects. The instructor guides his students step by step with tons of examples.
"The last time I took a programming class, I was the only girl in the room. SheCodes has not only given me a solid foundation in HTML/CSS/JS, but also confidence in my abilities to learn and grow in a field that is often very intimidating. On top of that, I now have an amazing network of smart women that I can turn to for help with a project or even career advice!"
I've really enjoyed this course. Being able to apply everything I'm learning to a project has helped consolidate the learning. It's really hands on which suits my learning style. Matt has added extra classes as I've been going through which was really useful.
This course was very intense and interesting. I really enjoyed the step-by-step approach and the challenges were very helpful in learning the material. I would lose track of time while doing the challenges and working on the final project because I just wanted to keep learning more and more.
This workshop does not view React in all its complexity, but you get to know the basics, and you'll learn pretty fast. I really enjoyed the Dictionary project! I am excited about continuing my journey in coding/programming. :)
Equally challenging and rewarding course, I really like the structure, the videos and what a great project to finish with! At times, Lacking sometimes in basic knowledge and theory when it came to JS, but overall very good :)
Great workshop! React was my favourite and I felt at ease with all the content and am super happy with both projects!
The React platform was so challenging, in the good way! It was a little bit confusing when the dictionary project was launched on Shecodes.io but this new project was really fun to do 🙂 Many thanks for all the team for this great platform.
I was happy to continue my workshops with "SheCodes Plus" after the "Basic" one and now excited to continue my workshop with "React"! That was a real journey for me, I thought I will not be able to build the app, but with the Matt's talent to explain the things in an easy way helped me to finish the final project! 😍☺️ and the whole team, support in Slack also was very helpful, thanks to Lexi and João too for such support!🙏 I felt like home and all students are also very friendly. Great platform for networking too! Thank you very much for new knowledge and opportunities! ✨
Great workshop, very well structured and explained to make it easy to understand and above all a great project in the end to practice new learnt know-how.
although i was rather sceptical at the very beginning, i am happy i have decided to take the course. I did doubted a lot whether it did actually worth it and if i really needed to take such a course. Now after subbmitting my final project i can definitely say that it is really worth taking. It gave me a very good understanding of what coding is and how i can use it. I got so impessed and curious that I am planning of taking also the shecodes plus.
Ideal for anyone looking to sharpen their existing coding knowledge, get creative with their coding skills, and build an impressive online portfolio to showcase their coding projects and knowledge.
I´ve never coded before... At the beginning, it was pretty hard for me to get the logic. The challenges after each lesson helped me a lot and in the end, I was more than euphoric to do my own project! I am very happy with the result and it was a lot of fun, too!
Just finished my final project in the 3-weeks workshop "Introduction to coding". This course was a really good experience to learn the basics for coding. In particular, it's great that you can organise your time to complete lessons and challenges by yourself. It was so much fun taking this first step! :)
Working on a project from start to finish showed me how I can make something from scratch. This class gave me confidence that I can complete something and I can still learn new things. Matt gives step by step instructions that is informative and easy to follow.
I had a lot of fun completing this workshop, especially while building my project and researching additional tips.
I absolutely loved this course! The course is so well-structured and the project was so fun to do.
Responsive was always something that was very important in all my projects. Now I really have the knowledge to do it. All courses are amazing. 3 done one to go! 💪 Thank you all for another wonderful workshop! 💖
Really enjoyed working on the final 2 projects! Such great hands-on experience, so practical! Matt does a thorough job of explaining concepts into beginner-friendly language! Joao is fantastic at replying promptly with questions regarding your assignments! Definitely recommend this course to anyone wishing to gain further, more in-depth knowledge of front-end development!
HIGHLY recommend this course for absolute beginners. The project based learning keeps you motivated. Even with a tight schedule it was easily doable. I'm ready for the next workshop with the SheCodes team :)
I loved taking this workshop. Super easy to follow the instructor, and so exciting to be able to code on your own. The project at the end was very fun to work on!
I started this workshop with no coding experience at all and after three weeks I have learnt so much. I really enjoyed progressively building my skills in each challenge and the homework at the end of each week . Working on my own project was also very rewarding and fun! I'm looking forward to continuing onto SheCodes Plus!
This workshop is a nice and brief introduction to a world of Front-End Development. Totally manageable while working full time. It is also great to be able to build a project from scratch during the third week!
SheCodes Plus was amazing! Definitely more advanced than Basic, and it goes more in depth. But that feeling of finally submitting the Final Project... Awesome!
This workshop has been a great introduction to the coding world for a novice like me. I came in with no knowledge but an open mind and I have learnt a lo during my 8 weeks working on my final project. It is definitely challenging at times but you can always go back to the lessons and get help from the community and the team. Everyone is willing to help and support which is a plus especially when learning something new.
Matt has really helped me understand Javascript a lot better in this course. With the final project you do, you learn a lot of new valuable skills in a short period of time. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about more advanced frontend development than the intro to coding course.
I love learning with SheCodes. Matt and the team are so supportive and make the learning journey so fun and welcoming. I'm always proud of my final projects and can't wait to carry on coding. I recommend the workshops to anyone looking to learn something new!
Everyone who is thinking of teaching how to code should follow SheCodes example. It is designed for you to learn at a fast pace but understanding every little thing every step of the way while creating your own project. I have done every SheCodes workshop available and cannot get enough. If there would be a new one some time from now I would also be doing that one.
I'm looking forward to continuing my coding journey! The learning approach, the challenges, and the final project made me feel more confident with the tools and prepared for more!
I felt like my learning progressed greatly through doing this project and bootcamp.
It was a really good introductory overview - it taught me the basic language and the structure of how it works. I particularly enjoyed the final project where I was free to play around and create something I liked!
There's a lot of info crammed into a short amount of time but it's done in a manageable way so that my brain didn't hurt too bad! It's pretty cool how I was able to amalgamate all the lessons into a final project. I have even able to make the final project related to my work as an elementary teacher. The support when I needed it was excellent but I do strongly recommend researching bugs and questions on your own because lots of additional learning happens this way! I spent way more than 5 hours per week but maybe this is because I nerd-ed out more than necessary? As with any new learning, would have to keep up the practice in order to maintain all this new knowledge. Definitely recommend!
This course, although basic, was fabulous. The lessons are easy to understand and the challenges are stimulating. I enjoyed creating my final project, which I am very satisfied with. I can't wait to continue with more lessons to become a full-fledged developer.
The SheCodes Responsive workshop is a great addition to the program! It's the perfect follow up course to SheCodes Plus. There was plenty of new information, while also building on previously taught topics. I feel much more confident about my coding now. And to create your own portfolio website as project is both useful and cool!
This review is a contrast to the review of the first Shecodes course. Overall, I really struggled with this course. For me, it felt like a massive step-up and I am not sure I made it. I have submitted a very basic and flawed final project which I aim to keeping working on. I felt many of the JS topics were rushed and too advanced for me as my only experience was that provided in the first certificate experience . Everyone else seems to have swam through theirs with ease. So, I think working full-time, being a parent and being older than most in the cohort has not helped! I regret to say this will be the last of my Shecodes experience as I really struggled with holding onto and applying the learning provided. Good luck but definitely be prepared to watch those videos several times.
Glad this additional course was added. I not only learned more valuable information, but I was able to build my own portfolio. This will allow me to build websites for other projects I have been working on.
Another great course from Matt and SheCodes team. Lots of great info! The final project is challenging, but I've learned a lot and had so much fun!
I strongly recommend SheCodesPlus course. I have learned a lot of useful and interesting content. The project is a great challenge where you practise and you have the opportunity to continue learning. Great course :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to coding workshop, from the detailed videos and explanations to all the challenges and the final project I had to build. Matt's teaching style is easy to follow and this contributed a lot to understand each concept and how to apply it in practice. I am very happy I came across this academy and that I challenged myself to take this initial course. It actually made me realise coding is fun and satisfying, and I am keen on continuing this challenge and learn more complex concepts. Thank you Matt and SheCodes team!
For a person without any experience in programming, with SheCodes I was able to finish a project, that until a few months ago I never thought I could. I have learned so much lately, that now I feel more confident about getting a job as a front end developer
I learned so much! The course was challenging, sometimes frustrating, but worth it. Sympathetic Matt can explain complex things so that even an ordinary mortal with basic knowledge can understand them. I can't wait for more projects!
When I was informed there would be a new SheCodes Responsive class, I remember I was already ready to take 5 week-long-course. While adjusting the curriculum with my own pace of learning, I challenged myself to finish the weekly homework earlier than the deadline. It was not easy to secure my spare time. after my full time work. By fully utilizing my early morning time before my work and minimizing my social and fun activities for my future, I was able to create the project about Climate Change successfully. Like other courses that I took, the learning journey with Matt, Joao, and other support staffs was not always smooth to carry on but definitely worthy to try again and again (but never give up). Like a quote "Your strength is your own knowledge." I would love to show my greatest appreciation to SheCodes as I believe I became intellectually stronger than before. Responsive course has taught me that we would need to consider the end users when developing any products. Nowadays, people would. check the information via mobile web and it is crucial for developers to make sure that the. webpages would be responsive and SEO friendly. Thank you again Matt and I am already excited to take another course from SheCords.
I decided to start this coding journey out of curiosity, ended up learning a lot! The teaching method was great, along with all the tips to find additional resources. The final project was really challenging, especially for me that I am always eager to learn and let my imagination run wild 😎! Thanks to Matt and all the team! You guys are opening the coding world to us in an easy-peasy way! Keep up the good work!
I have enjoyed working through the SheCodesPlus workshop. The lessons provided gradual knowledge accumulation, while the final project posed quite an exciting challenge. I am curious to learn more about Front-End development and the possibilities it brings.
Plus workshop is definitely more challenging, but absolutely worth it. I love the lesson breakdown and the challenges leading up to the final project. I come from a career in visuals, so using different parts of my brain to figure out how functions work was a challenge, but one I eventually understood and thoroughly enjoyed.
“After seven years working for big corporations in logistic I have started my biggest project which is my family. I have two wonderful little kids which are actually owners of all my time. I am looking for new challenges in new areas (not to become completely crazy ) and coding was one of the things which I have always wanted to learn. Shecodes provides a program which is perfect for busy woman like all mothers are. I am super happy that i have decided to invest into that workshop. I am going to continue in studying because I find this area perfect for my future career.”
Investing in advancing my technical skills and feeling empowered! As someone who has zero computer science or programming background, I am pretty proud to have built this webpage project with only 3 weeks of coursework and practice. I've just opened a door to a whole new world of perspectives, opportunities, questions, and tools. Thankful to now be a part of this community of women!
I really enjoyed having an additional project with the dictionary! It was fun and I learned a lot. Thanks!
I feel like I learned so much throughout this workshop! I really enjoy the detailed videos that Matt created, especially the ones for the final project. They made it really clear to learn the fundamentals of HTML/CSS/JS, and if I needed extra support the Slack community was amazing. I'm really looking forward to continuing with both the React and Responsive workshops!
I am so grateful to SheCodes for giving me the tools to be able to complete a front-end project! I can't wait to use the knowledge and skills that I have attained in this workshop to create more projects! I am sure SheCodes React will be just as informative and helpful in jumpstarting my career into tech! Thank you Matt!!
What a ride this has been. I cannot believe I did it, I built an entire website app! It's crazy to look back to January, when my journey with SheCodes started and realize how far I have come, all the way from the intro workshop where everything was new and scary and amazing, all at the same time to today, finishing my project, delivering a fully functioning weather app. I am beyond grateful for this incredible experience, I feel SO accomplished. SheCodes opened up a path into a possible new career and I am looking forward to jump right in! Now it's time to get some well deserved rest and get readyyy to start the React course :)
Another amazing course from SheCodes! I could dig deeper into responsive techniques like grid and flexbox and learn some other useful tricks. I'm really proud of the website I built and will definitely start working on other challenging projects!
This is one of the best workshops/courses I have ever done! Like ever! I was a self-taught novice before this workshop (I could use a little basic CSS but that was it), but I have walked away with so much knowledge! I cannot believe I have been sending these sort of requests/fixes to a developer all this time. Now I have the knowledge to tackle these jobs myself and use my developer for chunkier projects. Thank you SheCodes, this workshop was a joy!
The course has been very interesting and enlightening. It's helping me a lot with my job as digital project manager. Thanks to the workshop I'm able to better communicate with developers using proper tecnical language and manage on my own some activitities where coding is involved.
The Plus program boosted my self-confidence. It provided me with all the necessary tools, documentation and support to build my web app project, I couldn't be more proud of the results. I can truly say SheCodes Basics lighted a spark, SheCodes Plus nourished the flame. I can't wait to start the React program!
Really enjoyed SheCodes and working through the project! Thanks to all the team for their help and advice
I decided to enroll in the SheCodes workshops because learning how to code on my own was very difficult. Going through SheCodes, I really enjoyed how the challenges, homework, and projects make you think logically and critically. Also, having deadlines, seeing your progress, and being part of a supportive community is reassuring, which is something that I needed to motivate me to keep on coding. Now on to the next workshop!
I Highly recommend this workshop to everyone! Matt is a great teacher, classes are easy to follow and are very well structured. The real working projects helped solidify the concepts that we learned. I will definitely do another workshop in the future! Thank you all!
Lessons were easy to understand. Skills gained are invaluable. Team is helpful. Real working projects help solidify knowledge of concepts taught.
Easy to follow and short videos, very engaging content and interesting projects to work on.
SheCodes is just amazing! I had fun while making my projects, learned a lot and now I feel that I can really go forward testing my knowledge by developing new stuff! I certainly recommend SheCodes, especially because we (women) are fewer than men in this field, and this has to change! SheCodes is just a fun way to learn programming and not only show us that we can but the importance of raising this number and having more women coding! 💙
Great breakdown of how to build a React project!
SheCodes Workshop was the best step I did in coding learn. I always thought complicated, but with this workshop finally I learned in easy and challenging way. I could be more happier with my first project.
I had a blast matching backgrounds and images with all the different weather conditions. With JS I can design some more interactive screens and have a really cool user experience.I am really excited to start the SheCodes REACT course and have a head start on my dev team's react project. It will definitely help me design a better product that functions best with react.
When I completed SheCodes' other offerings, I promised I'd be first in line to sign up if a new course was ever launched. So, of course I jumped at the chance to be an early participant in the new Responsive Design program! Not only did Matt's instructions help me reinforce my previous knowledge of HTML and CSS, but with Matt and João's guidance I learned out to built an attractive multipage website that is optimized for multiple devices and screen sizes. I learned so much practical knowledge, and the final project was a blast! I can't wait to continue my responsive design practice and promising now yet again that if another SheCodes class becomes available, I will be first to sign up!
SheCodes Plus workshop is definitely much more challenging and demanding compared to the previous SheCodes Basic. Working step by step every week on your weather app, trying to understand more deep and complex Javascript you soon realize how amazing programming is 🤩 Thank you very much for this experience! I am very excited to move on and learn React 👩🏼💻 You are building a working weather app but at the same time is amazing that you finish your project with I had a wonderful experience with SheCodes. After completing the first workshop, I went onto SheCodes Plus and learned so much more! I would recommend these workshops to anyone interested in learning to code because they're well organized and broken down into digestible sections. Not to mention the support you can receive via Slack is super helpful. Excited to move on to the next workshop and begin learning React!
Even though I've been working with front and back-end developers for over 10 years, I've always had an extreme and irrational fear of learning to code. But with my deep love for UI and UX design and project management, I knew that I would be a better UX designer and manager if I knew how to code and after the last couple of weeks, I can totally see how my deeper understanding of code has had a positive effect on my work. I feel empowered and I'll be coming back for more @shecodes!
