I thoroughly enjoyed the last 3 weeks! The lessons were the perfect length and I managed to learn a lot even when working full-time. Excited to start the next lot of workshops!
Thankful for this learning experience and looking forward to taking the next course!
This first workshop at SheCodes has been an amazing experience. I have always been interested in coding and as a marketing professional I work very closely with web designers, app developers, and programmers but never completely immersed in their departments. Naturally, in marketing you learn a lot of CSS and HTML but it was never enough. The SheCodes classes have filled the holes in my knowledge and helped me make sense of the work I have been doing allowing me to be a better and more innovative marketing designer.
Shecodes introduction to coding was great! All the videos and challenges make it easy to digest and to apply in your project, the format is really good, I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to get the web development basics. Can't wait to start the other workshops 😊
Pretty hard, but worth it :)
I've never considered myself to be a "computer person". My dad is a Computer Engineer and growing up I admired that but only from at a distance. In my early 20's I dropped out of a traditional 4yr college and began my journey into Cosmetology. Once I passed my state board certifications I worked in several salons and I even got a part-time job as a banquet server. Soon I realized that I did not want to be a hairstylist but instead I pursued Hospitality and that's where I made my career over the past 10yrs. In March I was put on furlough for what my company said would only be 2 months. 2 months came and went and to this day I still do not know when or if I will ever return to my previous job. I started to think that I needed to change my career and did a lot of soul searching over the past few months. After narrowing down my search I decided to take a chance and start some coding classes. These first classes were very basic and less than stimulating but they made my brain work in a different way and it was challenging for me which is something that I have been longing to experience since being furloughed. I watched video after video and found that I did not like the lack of structure and that I knew I could benefit from some curriculum to follow as well. As I was scrolling through Facebook (thanks cookies!) an add for SheCodes came across my screen and I applied shortly after. These past 3 weeks have been challenging, fun and have made me feel like there will be a new future for me.
Easy to follow and understand, the workshop made learning to code enjoyable.
Before starting, I was expecting to learn a lot in 3 weeks but to be honest, not that much!! 😂 The lessons are clear as crystal, the challenges are super funny to complete and the Slack workspace is very helpful. I'm so proud of my final project and can't wait to start a new workshop!
Great, informative class that's perfect for beginners!
I didn't know how to code, like at all. With this course, now I know the basics of coding.
Highly recommended
I came across SheCodes as I was looking for a course to help guide me through the basics of coding. I was interested in boosting my existing skills as I possibly want to dive deeper into front-end development in the future. I had tried learning beyond the basics of HTML online but found it to be overwhelming and wanted some structure. This course was the perfect first step for me and actually went beyond what I thought I'd learn! Every lesson was clear but if I wasn't sure about anything specific the community of other students & SheCodes support was very helpful. I definitely reccomend this course and plan on taking SheCodes Plus next.
The SheCodes workshop allows users to understand webpage development in a fun and interactive way. It is clear and concise and has support each step along. Can't wait to start SheCodes Plus!
I recommend this workshop to any beginner, it is easy to follow and very detailed at the same time. I enjoyed this course and am hoping to apply my new skills to some new projects!
I'm so grateful that I stumbled across SheCodes. As I had no prior experience, I debated whether I would be capable of learning to code, but also whether I would enjoy the process. The bite-sized but comprehensive lessons each week made the process easy. After the 3-week Workshop, I feel less intimidated by the coding world, and I can't wait to learn more! Thank you to Matt and the SheCodes team 💕
This course was fantastic. I had very little knowledge of how to code and Matt's workshops were really straight-forward and easy to understand. I particularly enjoyed the bite-sized lessons and practical Challenges that were incredibly useful in reinforcing the theory. It was also great to have access to a Slack channel with plenty of help and insights. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!
Highly recommended
Matt explains coding in a way to me that makes it seem easier to understand than other coding classes I've looked at. It's great to have help through Slack. I wish I was able to learn the terminology and the reasoning as to why some parts of coding are made the way they are, I think that would have made it easier for me when I found the challenges to be difficult at times. I'm glad I pushed through it, it becomes easier to learn once you put everything together and you continuously keep working on your coding. Overall I would recommend taking SheCodes.
This course was amazing beyond words. Thank you for making something so accesible and easy to use/understand. Matt, your teaching style is great and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Joining SheCodes was my best decision ever - this workshop has been a truly life-changing experience and I absolutely recommend it. As an Arts & Humanities graduate, I used to think coding was definitely beyond my reach, but I could not have been more wrong!! I cannot believe how much I have learned in less than a month - to be able to create a landing page from scratch a mere three weeks after downloading VS Code is simply incredible. Now I have become way more confident in my IT skills and I am looking forward to a massive career switch as front-end developer in the cultural industry - who said art & coding could not go together, after all? :)
Super fast paced, but the program gives you ample amount of time to be able to complete all the work. The SheCodes Slack channel is amazing and supportive. I would highly recommend any woman wanting to get an intro to coding.
Great start, at the end, you would be able to built a basic page, so... pretty good for 12 hrs of work😉. Also, an awesome introduction for you to know if this is your thing🤓.
I thought this workshop was put together wonderfully. I learned a lot from Matt and the other students. I feel more confident in coding in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Thanks.
Great informative course! Matt and team are really helpful which made the experience much more enjoyable!
I really enjoy the format of this class. It was challenging insofar as it motivated me to tackle some things I didn't think I had the skills for yet. The sense of accomplishment that I felt when my final project was running properly was so satisfying.
Joining SheCodes during the pandemic turned out to be a great idea. REACT is definitely a complicated language but, with the expertise of Matt's videos and the online community built around the program, it's been a fun way to learn something new. Completing all 3 programs has been quite the task but, I am stoked to finish and excited to see where this new found skill takes me.
These three weeks have been so much fun. I am currently looking to utilize my analytical skills to develop towards a more challenging but rewarding career and this Workshop really sparked my interest in coding.
This workshop was really really fun! It made me want to learn more and potentially take additional courses. I think having this knowledge is key for any marketer.
I'm loving SheCodes! I feel like I'm learning loads and at just the right pace for me. Finished my final project for the three week course in just two days because I was so excited to work on it. I've got a great grasp on HTML and CSS now, and have just begun my journey with JavaScript!
I never thought that I'll be able to learn so much in few months. The best part about this course was hands on experience which made me wanted to learn and explore more. I like the way Matt always encourages us to try out the exercises instantly. Above that, Matt and his team members have been really supportive through out this course. I never felt hesitant to ask any questions I had . For me, this journey has just begun and looking forward to taking the next course. I am glad that I clicked to try out the online free-class and it leaded me to this amazing platform. This course have been by far the best! Many thanks to Matt, João and Lexi ☺.
The SheCodes Plus workshop was amazing, challenging but truly great. After these 8 weeks not only did I learn a lot but now I can navigate the internet and actually understand what other coders are talking about and find my answers alone, which before was impossible. My coding journey is still at the beginning but SheCodes gave me a unique opportunity to discover and get closer to the world of coding, which before I could have never imagined. Looking forward to beginning the React workshop!
I enjoyed following this 3 weeks course and for me it was a great way to fresh up my coding-memory. The course is very well structured with easy to follow video's and I can highly recommend it to anyone!
I loved the three weeks workshop! I learnt a lot about coding and I completely fell in love with it :) What I love the most about the SheCodes workshop are the short lessons (about 10 min each) and all the mini challenges associated with them: they really help me to keep on track and never get bored! I also love how Matt explains, he is an excellent teacher!! I cannot wait to continue my journey with SheCodes, I am extremely excited and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about coding :)

Learning to code with SheCodes was exactly what I was looking for. All material was presented in a clear and organized way. The SheCodes team was very good at answering all the questions I had during the course. Again, this was a very smooth experience. A few weeks before the end of my final React project I started coding for a web design company based in Brooklyn, NY. Very happy to see some return on my investments!
My journey has started much easier with SheCodes Workshop. It is always necessary to have somebody to show you the right direction, so you can be confident to get your goals. Thank you so much for your great workshop, Matt and the team! 👏👏👏 I am so thrilled to get myself upgraded to new languages.
The course is very practical, and easier to undertand so you can learn super fast.
It was challenging but fun! I really enjoyed it.
Always wanted to try coding but thought it was too complicated. After talking to some of my customers that have been trying new software with 0 background I got inspired and decided to take the word complicated out of my vocabulary and give it a try. A great choice indeed! Coding is 😎

SheCodes React was by far the most challenging but rewarding course! I really felt this course helped me boost my coding skills and would totally recommend it to anyone! Matt and all SheCodes team are amazing!
My coding level is absolute beginner, and this workshop gave me a great introduction. It really got me interested, and I would like to pursue more in-depth courses! The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Thank you Matt! The concepts were easy to grasp and put in to practice. The challenges were fun and educational.
I would recommend this course because of the tasks with deadlines. The channels on slack were helpful but not well structured.
What sets this course apart from others is the assignments and homework, which gives me a lot of great practice as someone with no experience creating a website. The course is great for beginners like me since it lets people be creative and have fun while learning!
I really enjoyed the progression from the workshop, to SheCodes Plus. The step by step approach, support from the team, and the support from fellow coders, all made it a great experience. It was challenging at times- but having access to comprehensive solutions once you'd worked on it yourself, helped enormously!
I found this course to be exceptionally clear and easy to follow. I think the spec is a little misleading. It says 3 weeks of course content when in reality it's 2 weeks plus a personal project. You don't learn anything in the 3rd week but it's a great opportunity to practice your skills. I wouldn't pay £79 for the amount of content provided. Also, the assistants on slack are very slow at coming back to you. The average amount of time I waited was 12 hours. I would suggest a live chat option on your website for those who need a quicker response.
Absolutely loved the video tutorials and the added easy read 'cheat sheets' to jog the memory. looking forward to doing the next workshop with Matt and the team!
I took this course because I wanted to test the waters first before plunging in this industry. This course made me realize that coding is not rocket science and I can do it too! Thank you, Matt and to the rest of the SheCodes team!
Highly recommended
When I first heard about this workshop, I wasn't sure that I would be able to do it, but it proved that I could not only do it, but I also had a ton of fun completing all the workshops!
As a beginner, it took me more than 1 hour/day but it was an exciting learning experience.
Perfect for beginners, really enjoyed the workshops.
I have always wanted to learn more about coding, but never would have thought that I would be doing a course with a 2 month old baby. It is broken down into good size lessons that meant I could aim to do a bit every day to stay on track. I am looking forward to learning more!

I'm so happy I've decided to join the SheCodes workshop. Learning new skills is great, especially when you're having so much fun during the process. Can't wait to see what the next two will bring!
I signed up for this course to diversify my skill set, little did I know how much fun coding could be! Thanks to the SheCodes team for answering my dumb questions and showing me that anyone can be a coder!
A great introduction to coding with step-by-step videos and challenges on HTML, CSS and JavaScript! I've learned so much in just 3 weeks and want to keep learning!
I would highly recommend SheCodes to anyone looking to get into coding. The tutorials are very easy to understand and conducted at a manageable pace, and the tasks are very challenging and rewarding. It's amazing to see how far I've progressed in such a short amount of time! I'm looking forward to learning React next and would love to see more advanced courses become available through SheCodes in the future.
This has been a great intro to coding - it felt well structured and was well taught. Looking forward to the next part 🥳
I enjoyed these first 3 weeks as I got an introduction to 3 languages (HTML, Java, and CSS) which will help me understand and communicate with developers in a new project I am leading. The information is presented clearly. The instructors are ready to help and it made me want to learn more about coding.
I like it very much. Very simple to understand. Thank you.
The workshop is well guided and explained, and there is an excellent system in place for when/if you require support. Highly recommend!
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Matt explains things in a very comprehensible way and shows you exactly what to do as he talks about it. The structure is wonderful because you actually learn instead of just following along. After being shown exactly how to work on the lesson's topic, it forces you to try the problems on your own before you can see the solution but you can still go back and rework it if you need with no sense of shame. I love that I can go at my own pace instead of one dictated by a live class. I am looking forward to the next workshop.
I am so glad that I found SheCodes! Before taking this workshop I knew nothing about coding! I never thought I would have this much fun learning how to code. Matt really made the material easy to understand and the challenges that followed each lesson only reinforced that I was grasping the material. I learned so much in just three weeks and I am excited to learn more about coding!
It was a fun experience building this responsive weather app! Can't wait to learn more from the REACT workshop!
When researching SheCodes and what technologies they covered in their workshops, React quickly piqued my interest. Seeing the real-world applications made it an easy decision to enroll. Matt and the SheCodes team provided a great, easy to follow step-by-step lesson plan and were always available and helpful, as well as a fun project as a way to learn these skills. I would definitely recommend enrolling in SheCodes React as a continuation of SheCodes Plus.
The workshop was very well structured with helpful step-by-step videos, available resources, tips, and a very interactive chat platform when help was needed. I have a much better understanding of how these codes are formatted and structured and can't wait to advance further in the future.
I learned so much from Matt just from the three weeks course! The course is easy to follow and super fun. Now I can design cool websites. I'm so glad that I found SheCodes. I can't wait to learn more coding on SheCodes Plus React!
Highly recommended
It was a fantastic adventure. I had a brief experience with coding a few years ago, but I could hardly remember anything. SheCodes was a fun way to expand my knowledge. There's a lot to learn in just 3 weeks, but the course is excellent. I highly recommend this workshop for anybody who wants an overview of front-end development and basic coding practices. I'm really grateful to Matt and the SheCodes team!
This was a really well-paced and well-explained process. I had tried free courses, but they lacked fidelity and the ability to ask questions and get feedback. I am excited about what I've learned and what I can now do!
React was difficult, yet so fun to learn. I'm really excited to put all these skills to practice!
Highly recommended
I would definitely recommend if you are curious about coding but not sure if you like it! The workshop is easy to follow and you you can do it whenever you have time.

I have really enjoyed my coding journey with SheCodes - Matt explains everything very clearly & has recommended many great resources, which is very useful as a complete beginner!
As a long time service industry professional, I was concerned about the future of my career during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the midst of so many changes, I found myself wanting options. After seeing an ad online and reading testimonies from women who had no prior coding experience, I decided to enroll. I am beyond excited to share that I, too, was able to complete this course with zero prior coding knowledge. Matt is thorough, clear, and teaches at a comfortable pace. I plan to enroll in the advance course next and will be recommending SheCodes to everyone I know!
Materials were easy to follow and a big thumbs-up for practicality.
SheCodes has taught me so much in the past three weeks - i hope to revisit SheCodes and further my coding education after my university studies!
Highly recommended
It had been a long time since I got so excited about something, taking the workshop really made me kind of take control of my life again. Learning, investigating and discovering new things, finding out that you too can do it and solving problems on your own are some of the most satisfying and powerfull things to do in the world, and SheCodes really helped me get there. I'll definetly continue learning how to code, absolutely loved it and this workshop opened that amazing door for me.
I really enjoyed the workshop. The lessons were easy to follow and understand. I loved that after each lesson we could put our knowledge straight into practice with the challenges. Because I work full-time with irregular hours i’m happy I found a course that I can finish at my own pace and watch the lessons from anywhere at any time.
It was a pleasure for me to study on this workshop. Every lesson is well introduced, easy to understand and not overloaded of information, so you have a possibility step by step in your own rhythm enrich your knowledges in coding. Thanks for this informative and interesting journey! 😀
This is the perfect course to get into coding period. Being someone who tried to learn a programming language before but hitting that inevitable brick wall of syntax, I have to give it to Matt and the rest of the SheCodes team you have created an amazing environment for easing into the world of coding effortlessly and even making it fun!:) Can’t wait to apply for the next course.
It was a lot of fun these past three weeks and I highly recommend this workshop for women who are not sure where to start. The videos are fun and easily able to follow. I had zero experience coming into this workshop and I loved every minute of it. It was not overwhelming, the support system is amazing and because of it I was able to complete the assignments and enjoy making them along the way. 😃
I really enjoyed the challenges, and the videos were pretty easy to understand. I also learned a lot by seing other projects from the Slack chat. Can't wait to see what else I can do in the next course 😊
I always wanted to understand the logic behind a code and thanks to Matt, i can read HTML, CSS and JavaScript! The videos are really well done, easy to understand and repetitive, so the new things really sink in. I am very thankful to have done the workshop and can recommend it to everyone 🥰
SheCodes was very hands on. In the challenges and homework, the lesson videos gave enough insight to complete most of what was required but it also pushed me to find some solutions on my own either in the slack community or through google.
This experience has been amazing for me! I never thought in three short weeks I could actually learn to code. The pace and easy structure of the classes made it a no-stress experience, which I am also very grateful for on top of the great instruction from Matt! Thank you SheCodes for creating a space for me to learn a new skill in a safe environment, I am so exciteed to keep learning and growing!
Great learning experience using React with clear examples and challenges. Smooth transition from Javascript to React. Definitely a good workshop for those who wants to top up their basic coding skills. Highly recommend.
The way Matt teaches is so simplified yet efficient. I can actually read and understand code! I now feel confident enough to continue this journey on learning code. Looking forward to completing the rest of the bootcamps!
I liked the SheCodes course, it was interesting and challenging!
Highly recommended
I enjoyed the beginner workshop because the format allowed me to go at my own pace. I could go back and watch the lessons as many times as I needed. Matt was great because he would teach a lesson, but not always show how to get the full solution. This forced me to find the answer, which helped me learn.
Through these past three weeks, I went from having zero knowledge or confidence in my coding skills, and now I am able to understand the basic structure of web development! It was really great to have a community of women to ask questions to and watch each of us learn a new skill.
Learnt a lot from this workshop! Highly recommend! 😉
Wow! What a wild ride. I signed up for the SheCodes workshop on a whim; I'd played around with HTML/CSS and was interested in learning a bit more. This course was the perfect tool. Matt did an excellent job of breaking up the information in "bite sized" pieces and explaining it in a way that was easy to follow/understand. The challenges after each lesson help the information "stick" and the Slack channel really helps you feel like you're part of a community. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone even remotely interested in the world of coding. I'm definitely considering doing more workshops!
The various challenges and homework assignments were set up in a good sequence. I found the videos very helpful to learn from. Overall, I feel like the intro course covered a lot in three weeks and did it without being overwhelming!
I started this course because I wanted to have a better understanding of the coding world. I have my own recruiting agency and I focus on tech roles. I now understand the coders day to day life and loved it. I think this workshop is great and I highly recommend it.
