I can't believe how much I learnt in 3 weeks. The course was really engaging and the lessons were in small enough chunks that you don't feel overwhelmed. The community support via Slack was very helpful and motivating throughout the challenges. I really recommend this course for anyone looking to learn something new.

I loved to learn with SheCodes, even though there is so much more to learn... This course helps us to know where to start when it comes to programming and that it only depends on us to have the will to learn more and do something with this course. Many thanks for everything!

A few weeks ago I started to develop an interest in programming, but I didn't know where and how to start. Three weeks ago I came across an advertisement for SheCodes and after attending the 60-minute workshop for free, I decided to sign up for the basic course and start a journey that I hope will not end here. This course is suitable for those who, like me, want to start with the basic elements and have no knowledge of the area at all.

I have enjoyed the rate at which the videos/classes are given, how specific they are and how they are divided into pieces of information in order for beginners to understand and get a good grasp on things. It is repetitive in the sense that you are building slowly to achieve a final goal at the end of every week, which is PERFECT for learning coding. It is organized, Matt is a great instructor, he is precise, and I enjoy the course very much

I decided to do the SheCodes workshop at a very difficult time in my life... It may not have been the best decision to push myself so much while dealing with extreme life events... but that being said Matt is an AMAZING teacher and I am so glad I pushed myself and kept with the course, it was 150% worth it! I fell in love with coding through the Basics workshop and I am excited to continue learning. 🤩

Before SheCodes, I have tried various code camps on different platforms but I dropped out every time because they turned out either intimidating or boring. But with SheCodes, it is neither boring nor intimidating thanks to very well structured steps and encouraging instructor. Finding the help in times of need creates a strong sense of community. Can't wait to start my next workshop 🥳

Learning how to code was a long time dream of mine that I honestly never thought I would be able to make it come true. When I got "courage" and time, I searched for online courses and was quite disappointed with the teaching methods, until I randomly found SheCodes. You really changed my life and I will always be grateful to the team. Thank you Joao for being always there to clarify any doubt and a big shout-out to Matt, for explaining so well and making me fall in love with code. Looking forward to the next course!

SheCodes Plus has been a blast! Loved that the course not only built upon the basics, but focused on the DevOps & practical skills & knowledge that will be needed when working in the field.

I am so glad I signed up to SheCodes, it is one of the most rewarding things I've done since graduating. I have learnt so much and have found a new passion in coding!

I can't thank Matt and the team enough for opening my eyes to this amazing world of coding. Can't wait to get started on SheCodes React!

I was super scared to take this step into coding, afraid I was not going to be capable enough. And now, after this 3 weeks, I feel confident to go forward with my learning. ☺️ I loved the way Matt explains and exemplifies, it made the process easier and fun. I definitely recommend SheCodes! Best finding ever! ❤️

🎓Graduated over 3 years ago

Man, this was hard. I always knew SheCodes Plus would be harder than the initial workshop but I had no idea how much. However, I also had no idea how fun and interesting it would be! Despite all the challenges, occasional lack of motivation, work getting in the way, LIFE getting in the way, going back to my project and following Matt along was always very comforting. I've definitely learned how to code but I've also very much learned how to be patient (which is not easy for me at all). So if you're thinking about starting to code, if you've tried other workshops and never really followed through, trust me - this is the right one for you. Not only are the videos and the Slack community amazing, team SheCodes is absolutely the best as well. If you need help because your code isn't working, if you need extra extensions because life happens, they're all there for you and ready to help. 10/10 would do again, but instead I'll just move on to React!

I was pretty thrilled and apprehensive to start this course and embark on my coding journey. However, the first week in and I find myself really enjoying this course! It is not a program where I had to muster up a huge amount of discipline to commit time outside of work to do but rather, something I can't wait to jump into once I am free from work. The classes were planned out well, such that the information is very digestible. Highly recommend.

Coming from SheCodes Basic to Plus was great because i had the basic knowledge to build upon, and you are constantly being challenged. The community is great and you will always get feedback on questions / queries super fast. For me, the video material became a little confusing at the end and feels like it needs to be updated to streamline the process.
