“I had two major problems with this course. First, they don't teach you how to display the current weather and forecast in both Celsius and Fahrenheit (they only teach you how to do it for the current weather). Second, I had a full stack software engineer who also mentors software engineers review the code and he said it was really bad code. That we were taught really bad practices. Considering my only exposure to coding has been SheCodes and I followed along with Matt, I believe this reflects badly on the curriculum. I have done the entire SheCodes program, from the basics to the max workshops. They have a team that reviews the homework assignments and give you either a thumbs up or a thumbs down if it was done correctly. I have only ever received a thumbs up. I am really disappointed. The whole purpose of me joining SheCodes was to prepare myself for a career change. Now, I have to start over from scratch trying to learn clean coding practices.”

“It was really fun and empowering creating a website with just HTML and CSS. I feel like I'm starting to get a deeper understanding of how everything works. I made a website that acts as a one-stop-shop for latin dance lovers in Lisbon. It has information on classes and regular parties. Just last night, someone from dance class said how hard it is to know about the parties happening around the city. It was so cool being able to help him out by directing him to a website I created.”

“It was really empowering to create my own portfolio website. I dream of doing this for a living and creating my website helped me to start feeling like a developer. I highly recommend doing additional reading and exploring on YouTube in addition to this course. This course is amazing for giving the basics, however, it doesn't cover topics like mobile-first development.”

“The course was really interesting! I'm also really grateful for the program's flexibility. I had to take some time off in the middle of the course due to some unforeseen circumstances, and I really appreciated the ability to pause the program and return when I was able.”

“In this workshop, we learned week by week how to create a real-time weather app. It was so cool!!! We also learned how to host it online for free. It is such an amazing feeling being able to create something and actually make it available on the web. It feels more real.”

“I took this class immediately after the SheCodes Basics course and I'm so glad I did! We learned how to make a website more beautiful and user friendly through things like grids and dark theme. It was fun, interesting, and applicable. I highly recommend it!”

“I am absolutely astounded by the program. In just a couple of weeks, I went from knowing nothing about web development to being able to put together a simple website! It's such an amazing feeling seeing my creation come to life. Matt does an amazing job of both teaching and equipping you with finding answers from reputable sources. The team is also pretty fast in responding to any questions in the slack group. I'm so grateful for this program. It has given me the confidence that with hard work and dedication, I can get into the field even in my mid-thirties. I'm looking forward to the next SheCodes program!”
