As a true example of a coding and IT newbie (bear w me, I studied art), I never really thought I would be capable of creating a website... and then came SheCodes! The two weeks working with Matt's lessons have been eyeopening and as much as I learned so many new things, I genuinely started to enjoy coding, researching about coding and learning independently. Would recommend to everyone - merci et à la prochaine! <3
I chose 3 out of 5 for this product for a few different reasons. Some of the reasons I will list have a positive and a negative side to them. I am continuing on to complete the Plus and React courses as well, but the Workshop has set the tone for me in regards to expectations from SheCodes. POSITIVES: (1) SheCodes will help me reach a decent skill level in coding languages and software that are brand new to me. (2) The instructor provides good resources for you to further your knowledge [on your own]. (3) You can learn most of this information for FREE online, but the key to SheCodes is the packaging. You would have a difficult time finding a similar course that includes infrastructure, support and accountability. In my opinion, that is where SheCodes SHINES and is the primary benefit of learning code through this platform. NEGATIVES: (1) While the instructor points you in the right direction to helpful resources, I feel that SheCodes should also provide reference materials within the program (material created by SheCodes). The documentation for each lesson is helpful but it is inconvenient to hunt down, for example, how to properly code an event listener in JavaScript after I have moved on from that lesson. Also, the documentation for topics were introduced too early or too late. There were a few times where I remember watching the video then viewing the documentation and seeing concepts that had yet to be discussed in the videos - which also makes it harder to hunt down documentation later on while working on the project. (2) In the same vein, I also wish that there was actual documentation. The documentation included are examples at best, but I feel with the cost of the program, there should be accompanying text. Personally, I grasp concepts so much better when I can read something through. I understand you learn code by doing it, but I should have the option to read and understand why, for example, I have to change an image display to block if I want to center it on the webpage. The instructor videos VERY LIGHTLY scratch the surface of each language, and I feel that I deserve WAY more out of SheCodes for the cost. I still have 2 more sessions of SheCodes so maybe I will find more value along the way. CONCLUSION: SheCodes has good packaging but it only gets 3 stars from me, because I will still have to find and/or create my own reference materials to retain the skills I've learned. I am continuing on to SheCodes Plus then React, so I am excited to keep learning (especially so quickly)! However, I fear this will only amount to three INTRODUCTORY courses that I overpaid for.
Knowing nothing about coding, I decided to try SheCodes Workshop. Everything is 100% remote. SheCodes Team gives all the necessary knowledge and provides great support on Slack! I highly recommend learning more with SheCodes. 😉
It's gone better than I expected so far. Having Slack there to help has definitely been really beneficial for me.
Such an incredible coding course! I went into this course knowing very little about coding, and just after three weeks my confidence in moving forward into web design has escalated tremendously!
I am really glad I joined the course, it not only taught me a new coding language but also gave me an opportunity to learn how to modify the existing code and make it cleaner. I am very happy with the way my final project turned out.
It is a very good course, it gives you a notion on how things work in the coding world.
I love the workshop. In the beginning, I was scared of not being able to understand but it was a nice and smooth way to get close to the programming concept and techniques. As you start learning you get more excited and you want to learn more.
This was amazing! Matt's videos guided me through every step, and getting feedback through the Slack app was almost instant. It was especially great to get help from other women on the course, who were always ready to lend a hand and offer solutions when I was stuck. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, you don't need any prior knowledge at all. As an English student I thought coding would always be outside of my skillset; if I can do it, anyone can!
It was an incredible experience! Although my background with other programming languages it was very interesting to learn virtually! Without any doubt, I will recommend SheCodes!
Those last 3 weeks were very interesting and inspiring. I learned so much in an approachable and fun way. I would, for sure, recommend this workshop to my friends and I will definitely develop my skills and enroll in SheCodes Plus 😊
I would definitely recommend 3 weeks course for people who are wondering whether to start their journey with coding! I found videos really well prepared, people on slack are always welcome to help. I never thought coding might be that interesting! I may continue this journey and enroll for another weeks ☺️
I have loved every minute of this workshop. The exercises after the lessons really helped with integrating what I learned. Also having deadlines provided me with the discipline I needed to go through with it. Working on my personal project was so fun, I can't wait to continue my adventure at SheCodes!
It was an amazing experience, I want to learn more and more about react and coding!!!
This was a great workshop - I loved being able to talk to the community on Slack, and get answers when I got stuck!
This was a fun way to learn the basic's to html, css and Javascript. The support team was very fast with helping you figure out your code and bugs. I would highly recommend if you're curious about coding.
I loved the course and have come away with so much knowledge!
This workshop is well designed and inspires to learn deeper about coding! In my opinion, it`s the best way to start exploring tech field from basics. Can`t wait for the next workshops!
I loved this class! The skills I learned will be very useful!
I loved this SheCodes workshop! I was looking for something fun to learn while I am in between jobs and stumbled on this workshop. SheCodes makes coding both fun and challenging! Thank you SheCodes!
Highly recommended! Simple and clear instructions. You learn to code step by step and immediately get help if something is not working out. Great experience, great course and great team - thank you!
SheCodes Plus was an amazing and challenging course. In just 2 months I have learned more advanced HTML, CSS and JavaScript (comparing to what I knew from a previous course) and add up some more skills - like working with API, GitHub, Bootstrap and Hosting. The whole SheCodes team in the front with Matt was incredibly helpful and motivational. The whole course is made so unbelievable well that even though you might have tons of work or school, you still will happily watch all the videos, do all the challenges and basically spend 8+ hours each week learning to code. And luckily, you will see the results! I highly recommend this course to anyone who thinks that coding might be something interesting for her. I am definitely going to do the next course React and silently hoping that SheCodes will make some more courses.
The 3 week course was a perfect way to get a good overall view of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Weekly assignments meant that you had to learn by doing and it really made a big difference compared to other courses I've done in the past where everything is just based on viewing video content. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to start learning coding and to understand more about web elements.
Beautiful instructions, very detailed! Excellent coding practice with the challenges! The fact that we are urged to search online resources, like REAL coders is amazing, it helps more than I could imagine! Congratulations to Matt and the SheCodes team for being so delightfully helpful!!
I had so much fun with this workshop! Matt is great at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand, and the support team is very nice and helpful. It was very rewarding to see the results right away, I definitely want to learn more!
I have absolutely no experience coding but in just a few weeks, I feel like I learned a ton!
I really love the way Matt teaches the class because he explains everything that he is doing in an easy way to understand. Thank you so much to Matt, and everyone else for helping me learn React in a way that is understandable and that makes sense.
This was a great experience. The guidance and support were unmatched. I looked forward to learning each day and the exercises really helped to drive the learning home.
I have really enjoyed the SheCodes Plus course; the format of the course made learning enjoyable. So grateful to have Matt and his team to help me along the way - even getting stuck, it feels like fun because there is always a solution to learn. I am happy with the end result of my weather app and looking forward to starting the final React workshop! Thank you Matt and Shecodes team!
Highly recommended
I loved this workshop. The videos were easy to understand and Matt explained all the concepts in detail so doing the homework on my own was challenging, but doable. I felt like I learned so much in such a short period of time.
SheCodes was surprisingly a fun challenge! The lessons follow an organized and simple way of learning.
Thank you!
Loved this coding course! Learnt so much in such a small time, the videos are very easy to understand and follow and the homework is challenging and rewarding! Thank you Matt!
I really liked the course so far. Can't wait to finish all the Workshops!
Este programa me incentivou a estudar mais sobre codificação. Eu indicaria para qualquer amiga.
Really enjoyed the format of this course - easy to follow along and keeps you accountable!
Highly recommended
A fantastic course. The teaching was clear and the projects supported the lesson material. It was super handy getting help from the course leaders when I got stuck too! What a fun few weeks.
SheCodes is a great, fun way to start coding. If anyone is thinking about learning to code, I would certainly recommend SheCodes!
I've learned a lot with the workshop! Very fun and intuitive. It took me a bit more than 3 weeks to complete because of my job but it is very flexible and I was able to finish it without any issues!
Highly recommended
What a great course!! Matt made it very easy for me to understand each concept. I learn so much better when I can put the theory into practice straight away which makes this course a fantastic way to actually remember the different techniques!
I've really enjoyed expanding on my technical skills and challenging myself to learn something brand new. The structure of the course is motivating, everything is broken down into small chunks - and then before you know it you have built a page by yourself! Thanks to the SheCodes team 😎
I learned so much from these SheCodes Workshops. Matt explained everything very well and when I was feeling stuck, I could always ask for help on Slack and the community. It was a fun way to learn more about React and I feel more confident when applying on IT jobs. I really wish there were more workshops on SheCodes. I would definitely take on a new challenge.
I have really enjoyed the 3 weeks of coding and learnt so much in a short amount of time! The course is taught very well and is easy for anyone to understand. I hope to apply the skills that I have learnt in the future! I recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn a new skill!
This was one of the best £60 I've ever spent. I had so much fun, learned so much new stuff and will probably (definitely) do SheCodesPlus (at least). I'm amazed at how well Matt is able to explain what is essentially learning a new language in 3 weeks. It all made sense and I feel he gave us the right amount of info at the right time, building knowledge in a clear way with every new lesson. Just loved it.
It is amazing how much I was able to learn in only 3 weeks! The course is extremely well structured, all the steps and videos are very clear. I really like the teaching system: Learn - Challenge - Solution. It makes things easy to understand and gives the opportunity to try right away what I just learned. Matt is a great teacher - Bravo! I recommend this course to anyone who's curious and open to learn new skills, but doesn't know where to start. That's the right place to be :)
I've absolutely loved this course. It's clear, easy to follow and so much fun! It's unbelievable how much you can learn with only three weeks - so I can't wait to move on to SheCodes Plus 🙌
I was able to accomplish developing a functional weather website that I never dreamed I could do otherwise. This course has given me confidence in my ability to create and understand code that actually results in a functional project. Looking forward to learning about REACT!
I like how fast I was able to learn beginner level HTML, CSS and JavaScript because of SheCodes. I had a lot of fun!
I found the course easy to understand and exciting! It felt like uncovering a little bit of a puzzle with each lesson. Thank you for a great course, and I look forward to continuing this adventure of coding.
I really enjoyed the freedom to join the classes in my time, and the tutorials were verry clear. I'm happy for choosing Shecodes workshops to start this learning journey
I loved the fact that we had 24h assistance
The three-week SheCodes workshop has been fantastic. I had a lot of fun learning the basics and believe it was a great way to get an overall feel for how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work. I am the kind of person that needs a bit more structure in order to learn things, and SheCodes provided me with exactly that. The weekly classes were really interesting and having weekly homework really motivated me to keep up with the course. Thank you for a great intro to coding!
This had been very exciting and interesting. The teaching method is great and I finally managed to learn while practicing and being challenge. Absolutely loved it!
I really enjoyed this introduction to code. Can't wait to learn more about this new world opening to me ! I think it might help me in the future to expand a business. Thanks this plateform to exist and specially SheCodes team to answer quick our questions.
Easy to follow, step-by-step lessons that ease you into the world of coding! I'm blown away by what I learned in this workshop! 🤯 And amazed about how a non tech-savvy person like me can actually do this, too! 💪🏼
SheCodes offers a brilliant introduction to Front End coding! The format is great: combining bitesize video tutorials, incremental exercises with bigger homework assignments and an engaged Slack community. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the basics and build their confidence.
I loved this course! I knew absolutely nothing about coding (or computers at all really) but Matt breaks it down so it's not intimidating and makes it fun and I'm so proud of what I've made! Thanks SheCodes :)
The course is broken down well into small sections, which makes it easier to follow as a beginner. It also helps with time management and I have learned a lot!
SheCodes Workshop has been incredibly fun. I've learned a lot and enjoyed so much improving with every video and lesson. Matt is amazing in all the explanations, he keeps it simple but very clear. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
The SheCodes Workshop it's a great course if you want to learn the basics of HTML and understand the language of coding. The lessons are easy to follow and comprehend. However, I wish the exercises were a little bit more challenging. The last week was an overview of the previous lessons and I was expecting a bit more additional knowledge.
Matt is a great teacher; every stage was clearly explained and easy to follow. I enjoyed learning with SheCodes.
This was an awesome workshop! Hands-on, easy to understand, tricky enough to challenge, and with a lot of aha! moments (at least for me 🤓). I can recommend this to all girls out there looking for a quick, fun and qualitative introduction into coding!
SheCodes Plus was a great journey! I've started with 0 coding knowledge and now I feel like I start to understand what coding is about! I love the practical approach and easy to follow lessons. Great way to learn coding! I can't wait to start React workshop!
Highly recommended
SheCodes Plus React is what I needed to gain the confidence to pursue a career in software developing . Matt is such an awesome instructor who is honest and fun to learn coding with. I really enjoyed building the final project and I felt that my knowledge is solid and earned. My goal is to find a career in web development and continue gaining knowledge into software engineering and SheCodes is the perfect kick start !!!
I was laid off from my 3.5 years job in Consulting and I took the opportunity to do the career shift I always dreamt to do from Business to Tech. I tried other websites to learn how to code but I was always feeling it was too complicated - and ended up feeling stupid. Thanks to SheCodes I was able to have fun learning meanwhile I was applying directly what I was learning. I was reluctant to take the next step which is Front-end react but now I'm more decided than ever to keep learning here!
Gave me a great base on html, css and javascript. Classes and workshop format, very good, easy to understand, flexible, possible to do even if you have work. I felt like advancing my knowledge!
Well, I’m proud!
It’s amazing what you can accomplish in only three weeks. I never thought I would enjoy or understand coding. I can see “behind the scenes” of a webpage now and even built a landing page from scratch! Thanks Matt, I admire your teaching method and thank you SheCodes team for the support provided along the way. Let’s see what’s coming next!Highly recommended
I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to code using HTML, CSS and JavaScript through SheCodes Plus! The video tutorials are easy to follow for someone who has only recently started coding. The course also teaches design principles and the development process from start to finish, which was incredibly useful. I am happy with the end result of my weather app and cannot wait to continue my coding journey. Thanks Matt and the SheCodes team!
So well structured which makes it easy to follow. Programming is something I have struggled to come to grips with but these workshops are engaging and make me want to learn more.
Highly recommended
SheCodes is a great way to gain a basic understanding of how coding works! I learned a lot in these three weeks! It's a lot of work, but you'll gain a lot of learning from it and a whole lot of fun too! I recommend this to anyone that's simply curious about what coding is.
Started from scratch and can at least build a functional page, now. Excited for the rest of the programs.
It was much more basic than I thought it would be. I would recommend it to a friend who is unconfident and inexperienced with coding, but if they are somewhat familiar with it, I would not.
I'm so excited to go to the next level, I learned a lot in just 3 weeks... I went into it with very little knowledge and came out of it creating a webpage that I was actually proud of... thank u so much!
I had a great time with the workshop! Matt did a great job explaining the fundamentals and this has given me the foundation needed to learn concepts on my own and expand my knowledge. I would definitely consider signing up for the more advanced workshops in the future.
I had no doubts about taking SheCodes Plus once I finished the initial workshop because of how much I enjoyed the learning process and I am glad I did! The class is super organized and extremely well thought out. The step by step structure allows you to learn efficiently - the class is challenging but not overwhelming because of how well it's set up. The team is also super helpful on Slack - I always had my questions answered every time I hit a roadblock. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning to code!
SheCodes has provided me with new skills to boost my resume and open up job opportunities. I look forward to continuing on with SheCodes Plus!
This is a great program for coding beginners! I was able to complete the program while working full time. The lessons were easy to follow yet homework assignments were challenging enough. I'd definitely recommend this program to anyone who is genuinely curious about coding and would like to have fun while learning!
This was fun and helpful. Thank you!
The SheCodes workshop was the perfect refresh I needed after not using code for a while. I learned the basics in school years ago, and could start using it back at work almost instantly. The exercices are short, clear and well explained. I really happy I got to do it :)
I found SheCodes Plus a little more challenging. Time management is very important and just needed to make the time. However, after review the material a few times, I was able to see the connections with previous and new material in order to develop a working app. I look forward to SheCodes with React and plan on more dedication to meeting deadlines.
I have absolutely loved this course! everything is so well set up, all of the course lessons are well structured and easy to follow. I have been working full time while doing sheCodes Plus and have been able to fit it around my schedule easily
Highly recommended
I would recommend SheCodes for everyone who wants to start coding or just to learn it for fun! The workshops are detailed and easy to follow, and there are challenges which make students learn not just about coding, but also about finding of needed informations. Thank you SheCodes, for wonderful lessons and support throughout the process!
I really enjoyed this course. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning how to code. I look forward to continuing with SheCodes Plus and SheCodes React!
Loved the SheCodes Workshop! The lessons were easy to follow and I loved that there were challenges throughout to help put everything into practice. I really appreciated the flow of the curriculum and it wasn't too overwhelming for being fairly new to coding.
This workshop is an excellent stepping stone into coding. I cannot wait to further my education and learn more.
SheCodes is a lot of fun. This workshop was a great way to get an overview of the possibilities within basic HTML, Javascript, and CSS. I'm excited to keep learning and exploring the world of coding.
SheCodes makes coding accessible and inviting - the tutorials and explanations are easy to follow and you feel very satisfied when you have successfully met a challenge. I would recommend it to anyone toying with the idea of coding as it's a very positive and informative experience. Thanks SheCodes!
Thank you to Matt and all of the SheCodes team, I've really enjoyed doing this course. Really happy to have expanded my knowledge here and will definitely take these new skills away with me to build and practice on even more.
Shecodes was a a fun and easy step into coding and gives a good overview and basic undertanding of front end functionalities. I was hoping for a bit more additional knowledge in week 3, however feel comfortable to play with and improve the skills acquired over the course.
In only 3 weeks 🤯🤯 I've learned so much and can't wait to go deeper with SheCodes+. Thanks to Matt for this incredible opportunity, I won't waste it.
I'm really loving the course! Had zero experience with coding until now, and I must say it has make me interested in learning more by myself also on my free time. Thanks for the awesome exercises! I will definitely continue learning and developing my coding skills.
Highly recommended
Although I had a bit of experience in HTML and CSS prior to taking the course, it definitely gave me the right tools and knowledge to further my understanding of the languages.
I chose the basic package (3weeks course) to get a taster before making the leap! and I have loved it - I spaced it out initially but then couldn't leave the computer.
