As someone with past experience coding HTML and CSS, I was pleasantly surprised to learn new element tags and properties. I also enjoyed learning JavaScript and getting an overview of all the career paths you can take and what programming languages you need to know in each one. This workshop is very intense, but there is also a great spirit of mutual help that you feel from everyone. It's an amazing initiative and I recommend all women to give it a try!
Being an architect I had never coded before. I went to the workshop without knowing a thing on the subject. Matt is a very good teacher and he explains really well the basics and gives very useful advices. The exercises we make during the two days are very helpful to understand all the steps. It is so rewarding to see a project come to life, and to have control over the way it functions! I'm serously considering learning more coding in future. I recommend this workshop to all the women who are curious about it like I was!
She Codes was an intense and wonderful workshop. I had the opportunity to learn the basics of coding and to know the various professional possibilities in this area. Loved it and highly recommend it.
SheCodes was a way to test myself on whether or not I could code. I already knew some HTML, and had some very basic knowledge of CSS and Javascript. Attending the workshop cemented my decision to take on the challenge to learn programming languages and keep moving forward towards my goal to build a career in tech. It showed me that I can do it, and have fun doing it too! It was a great experience, and one I highly recommend.
I highly recommend this course to everyone! It was a lot hardwork but I really enjoyed it. You can really learn the principles of coding with shecodes!
It was a great experience and a huge challenge! I can better understand concepts that were very blurry to me until now. I had already tried to learn them by myself in the past, but having someone to guide me through all the subjects like Matt did, was super cool. I hope that I will be able to learn even more in the future and am able to use all the knowledge throughout my professional path.
Once I read that: "Dreams don't work unless you do". That is why I decided to learn to code at She Codes Plus. To get closer to my dreams 🏄🏽♀️🌏🌊🌴🌞👩🏽💻...
SheCodes Workshop and SheCodes Plus have been quite a journey! I learned how to code the basics and I learned a lot of advanced skills that made me self-sufficient to keep on learning on my own. I can now apply to an internship or I can even apply to a full-time job if I keep on practicing. Thank you SheCodes!
I first heard about She Codes a year ago, when I was studying at Nova. I thought it would not make sense to apply since I was not connected, at all, to the programming world and I didn't understood nothing of it. This year, I came to the conclusion that the most powerful tool that men-kind has at his disposition is programming. It controls everything. I wanted to know more about it and how it could change the way I worked. Now I just want to dig and learn more.
She codes was an eye opening experience that allowed me to see for the first time a future in tech. For its short time the workshop is really well structured and well delivered. I learned a lot. Thanks! 🤓📚❤️
It's a great first start if you are thinking about learnig code but still don't know what you really want to do. It gives you all the bases to then make that choice and keep learning by yourself.
I always, especially in recent years, wanted to learn how to code and create and design my own websites (and in the future hopefully apps). She Codes helped me a lot in getting a step closer to my goal! I really enjoyed the workshop! Matt and the rest of the team really know how to teach understandable and they were open for all kinds of questions. Further, it was motivating to work in a group of "she coders to be" and get to know a lot of interesting people. I definitely plan to pursue and develop my newly acquired coding skills now and think about being a freelance coder/designer in the future (of course, after practicing much much more haha)!
As a digital marketer I am convinced that (at least basic) coding skills are required to grow in your job. And in the future they will become even more relevant! I was personally always curious about coding, however it being still such a men domain (even in 2018!) might hinder many women from learning it. After this fun two days I can only recommend it to other interested girls: I love the creativity in it and the feeling you created something from scratch! Since I also love challenges, I am thinking of enrolling for the upcoming Shecodes Week!
She Codes has been the best way to learn coding. It gave me motivation to learn and explore more and more about HTML, CSS and functions in Javascript. I still have a lot to learn but now that I've already started the journey I want to keep on going. I totally recommend it!
I decided that is time to change my career path and open the door to the tech world. While searching on how to begin this journey, I bumped into the She Codes workshop and was an incredible surprise: how much you learn and the amount of information that you absorve in just 2 days with an amazing team of teachers. I really liked the fact that is not just a theoric workshop, you really practice coding and for me is the best way to consolidate knowledge. ⚠️Girls if you want to start coding this is a good way 😎
She Codes is an amazing learning platform.You get have a glimpse into the coding world and understand its basics. It is a great starting place for those of us craving to know more.
She Codes was definitely a great experience. Though coding is increasingly more relevant, I knew nothing about it and found it thrilling to understand the very basics. I am looking forward to learning some more!
The workshop was a great way to gain first insights into coding for me. It was hands-on and super exciting. It definitely made me curious to learn more about the topic and I am happy that I had the opportunity to be part of She Codes!
I think anyone with interest in web development should attend She Codes. It is a great way to learn the basics and we get to know more about how the industry works. For me it also gave me the necessary push to try to learn more afterwards even if it by myself.
She Codes is an enriching opportunity if you want to start your journey in programming! It is a fast-paced workshop but I learned a lot over this weekend, while having fun. Got to meet a lot of people with inspiring stories 😊 Strongly recommend it!
I highly recommend She Codes to any women that wants to explore the area. It was a very interesting workshop where I could understand what it is like to be a front-end developer and learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Besides that I also learned more about product management. Thank you She Codes team for this amazing experience!
Coding is a foreign language we are faced with everyday: learning it is both about being able to understand the world around us and having a different voice in the future. SheCodes is definitely a great place to start! 😊💃
I couldn't have had a better first experience with coding. It was fun, simple and impactful. I learned the basics of coding in a cool environment surrounded by inspiring women. Matt challenged us to do more and better, always making it seems easy and fun. And the impact was not just on the skills acquired but on my driven to now wanting to learn more.
SheCodes is a great initiative to encourage more women to get into the tech world. I wanted to learn more about front-end developing and to improve my programming skills. After the workshop I feel that I've learned more and I've met great people who are as motivated as me.
Short but intense session to understand codes, and learn the first steps. I was amazed to already be able to code a web page on my own after this.
Amazing experience, I definitely recommend to anyone who is curious or interested in learning how to code. It's impressive how much one can learn in only 3 days. It's totally worth it, you will discover a new world full of possibilities and know right away if you like it or not. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
First of all the need to be constantly learning and secondly to complement my self learning process of digital marketing and Web design!
"She Codes is a major opportunity - Not only for learning how to code but also for networking, sharing experiences and working as team. A big thanks to all team members who dedicate their free time to such an amazing project :)"
SheCodes is a great opportunity for any woman that wants to learn how to code. And even if you don’t want to be a developer, understanding how coding works makes a big difference for any professional. The course itself is very hands-on, challenging and it gives you the knowledge you need to move forward on your own. I’m very glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of it.
"I would have never thought that I could learn so much within only three days while having that much fun! Meeting amazing other girls, coding, drinking some wine, enjoying the view on the market from SecondHome, and discussing the philosophical background about 'What it means to become a coder?' was what made this workshop special. Thanks, Matt, the volunteers, and all girls of SheCodes 7.0! "
When I entered She Codes I already knew a little bit about coding, however I never step out of my comfort zone and would just do the small exercises that were given to me (which wouldn't really help me learn anything new, or remember what I knew). She Codes takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you remember and understand what you learn -- which is what it's really important when coding! It gave me the motivation to continue studying coding on my own 😊
SheCodes is not just a coding workshop; it's a community of amazing women who inspire and motivate others to code. Learning CSS and HTML has ignited a spark within me, as I feel more empowered to use them at work and on my free time.
I actually heard about SheCodes before its first ever session one year ago. I am always keen on learning something new and after I found it online, I subscribed to the newsletter and kept receiving information about it for each session. I decided to apply for the first time to SheCodes 7.0 because it was finally the right time and I got in! I was so excited to start it as I have been wanting for many years to know a bit more about the World of Coding. Meeting great people, both passionate teachers and fellow coders was just the right format to deep dive into it! The different aspects (Coding, Design and Product Management) makes it a great first introduction as it gives you a global picture on how those 3 aspects work in unison. I also like and respect the vision and reasons behind why Matt decided to launch SheCodes. It’s a really great opportunity and I never thought I would be able to design a landing page like mine for the final project. Learning in classrooms with actual people is also way more efficient that starting online courses by yourself, which I had tried before. Now I just want to learn more and develop my skills and intend on attending more courses like that. As a professional currently working in Digital Marketing and managing a blog, SheCodes has already been beneficial and I strongly believe it will also benefit me for my freelance and other projects in the near future.
I really loved doing She Codes! It was really good to learn the basics about this 3 languages and at the end I was amble to do a simple landing page by myself. Matt is very good teacher! I totally recommend :)
I had the pleasure of learning how to code and be inspiring about this new world and new possibilities. From the first day of class until the end Matt and his team were very helpful. I'm glad I took the opportunity to explore the tech market.
I tried to learn to code on my own but always felt demotivated quickly and failed miserably. With SheCodes I got the support I needed, the essential questions about front-end and back-end development clarified and a lot of exercises that were greatly beneficial because I could actually understand what I was doing. The course is fast-paced and intense if you are a complete beginner but you will get through! I recommend applying ASAP because this experience will change your life! Many thanks to Matt and the Team for doing this and building a community of SheCoders all over the world!
Taking part of She Codes 7.0 was one of the best challenges of my life. I was always curious about coding but I was thinking it was a men field. However this course was the perfect opportunity to prove I was wrong, bringing me an invaluable experience and knowledge, with an amazing group. I never thought that learning code could be so fun and interesting! Many thanks to all the She Codes team for creating and investing so much time and efforts on such an amazing project! You rock!!! And thanks to you, now I can proudly say: I code :)
Applying to SheCodes was one of my best decisions! I was super curious about this area of expertise, but now I am sure that I want to learn even more. It was very enlightening, since now I know what to look for and where I can gather information. I really recommend it. Thank you SheCodes! 😎
She Codes is a fast paced course where you get to tackle several coding principles, advanced techniques and tools, all of them used by developers. This means that what you learn in the workshop can really be applied in real life scenarios. Don't be afraid to try it, it will be 3 Saturday afternoons you won't regret! I thank the whole team and I hope you continue to do this for many years!!
💻She Codes 👩 was an incredible experience for me, I was already looking for a way to create more interactive projects as a designer. I really wanted to learn how to program. After several attempts I came to the right place where I took the basic ideas to develop a more linear path. This is a big highlight in this workshop, it is not just about lines of code, we also talk about design, management and motivation for this professional activity or for future possibilities from here. We are really lucky to have an inspiring programmer behind this project - Matt 🐱💻 and his fantastic team 🐱👓 and volunteers 🐱🚀, thank you all for this opportunity! 🐱🏍
This workshop was just what I was looking for. I wanted to get started with coding and learn more about web design and software development, but didn't know where to start. Personally, it feels great to learn something new, and professionally it will be very useful. The takeaway seems huge, and I'll see it better when I get there, whatever that is :)
SheCodes is a fast-paced workshop great for females that want to learn how to code but don't know how to start. Even if you already know a programming language but never tried JS before, it is still a fun and energetic workshop to be part of! Excellent teachers!
She Codes definitely succeeded my expectations. In very little time we learnt so much (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I would highly recommend the workshop for all the women that wish to learn the basics about coding. Props to Matt for his smooth & amusing introduction to the world of coding.
What an amazing experience! She Codes showed me that knowing how to code is a very empowering skill that lets us turn our ideas into reality. It was a very challenging and fun weekend, and I learned so much in such a short time! Thank you!
My goal was to refresh my knowledge of programming and explore new possibilities. She Codes was definitely the best shot to start this journey with an intense but fun weekend of learning! Matt is super energetic and inspiring. After these days you'll certainly be empowered to learn and achieve more.
She Codes was an incredible opportunity for me to learn in an easy and funny way something that used to seem really hard to understand when I tried to learn by myself. I got the chance to know very interesting women and to grow as a professional, since knowing the basics of front-end is essential to be a digital marketer nowadays. Strongly recommend this workshop!
I love the course, the mentors, the tasks and the location! As a result the 'she codes' stickers are all around London by now. I learned a lot only in two days I am wondering how much I could develop in the 6-week course 🤔let me know if you are planning to do one outside of Portugal! 🙋
She Codes is a real well structured course and only this way can it be possible to learn a lot in a weekend. And there is also place for some fun as well :)
I work in digital marketing and a big part of my job is website management, as well form and landing page creation. Most of the things I had been learning on my own on the fly, but I was missing some framework for all the knowledge. SheCodes was perfect for that. It helped me get a more structured and in depth view on my everyday tasks. Apart from that Matt was a great teacher and all the other girls at the course were super nice! Thanks and cheers!
A big shout-out to She Codes team for organizing such a fantastic event. I was impressed of how much I could learn in only 2 days! It definitely gave me the energy and motivation to keep exploring more about programming.
I could translate the concepts that I've learned before into 'real' situations and they become clearer as well.
What an amazing workshop, in such a short time I wanted to learn more about programming , to go even deeper into the subject. I strongly advise those who want to learn and understand how this theme works to make this fantastic workshop with Matt and his wonderful team.
She codes project is only good for those who don't know anything about the web and wish to know more in a more face to face approach. You will learn html, and a light glimpse of css and javascript.
🙏Thank you - She Codes - for this initiative. It was a privilege to have this opportunity, be part of the “👩💻She Codes” family and get to know incredible people with so much knowledge to share. Now it’s time to practice (a lot) and continue learning.
She Codes workshop was a very worthy, enlightening and interesting experience. This workshop was very helpful not only to learn new stuff but also to understand some important concepts that were not completely clear after self-study. I truly recommend She Codes to every woman who wants to learn about coding.
Whether you are a digital native needing a refresher or a novice to html, this fast-paced course is taught in a very supportive environment making it easy to learn those new languages. Matt is an excellent and engaging instructor.
A great kick-starter for learning how to code. The team and the ladies were all awesome to get to know. I have definitely gained some great insights.
Very nice experience, a good introduction to programming languages. An opportunity to learn something new.
What a journey! She Codes is a great opportunity for every woman that wants to understand more about coding and/or the world around it, whether she comes with existing knowledge or starts from scratch. There was so much to learn that it has certainly left me with a lot to think about - Thank you!
After these 3 sessions, all I have learnt feels like a long journey but truth is, it is because of all the useful insight and the content I was exposed to. It has been an important experience of integration and I can already feel that this is only the start of a new path.
I had been told very good things about She Codes, yet it exceeded all my expectations! If you're new to coding, this is such a good way to get started. The course will give you a very good overview of how the Internet works, how different disciplines work together, and a very solid foundation if you want to keep learning. The course is fast paced and challenging, however there is always time to ask any doubts you may have, and we all helped each other. I couldn't be more happy for being part of She Codes 5.0 and I can't thank enough everyone in the team!
It was an amazing experience. I like the quality of the overall program. Every class was really well designed. You will be suprised how much you learn in short period of time. I highly recommend this workshop.
I had an amazing experience and lot of fun! I am glad to have been given the opportunity of learn such interesting topics! Fully recommended :)
I've tried online courses but never managed to keep myself motivated just to learn the basics. With SheCodes it was intense, practical and fun! Worth every minute.
She Codes is definitely a great opportunity to empower women in tech! If you want to know more about coding surrounded by talented women, She Codes is the best first step and introduction you can possibly have. I’ve learn a lot during the workshops and I feel now ready to continue my coding journey. Thanks to She Codes team for your dedication and time. This program is a real gift!
What a great experience was She Codes ! I have begun this formation with the simple desire to understand what is coding ?, I'm ending the workshop with the ambition to learn even more that I learned ! Thanks to the workshop 5.0, I got the CSS, HTML and JavaScript bases and it's unbelievable what we can do with its ... I shall not hesitate to recommend She Codes to every one with motivation.
Such an amazing and challenging experience! In such a short time I learned more than I could learn during 2 months on my own. Thanks, she codes for giving me the chance to be a part of it.
She Codes creates a perfect bridge between tech, business and UX. The workshop taught us how to communicate with developers by coding and designing. From very first workshop, She Codes got me caught up with fun while coding and motivated to keep learning by introducing us to opportunities we gain with newly acquainted skills.Thanks to everyone that made this happen!
I was completely surprised with how much I was able to learn in such a short amount of time! It was not only a great learning experience but also a really fun one. We were all supported by a wonderful group of talented and approachable teachers and staff that gave us all the resources so we can continue to practice and succeed on our own. A big part of this workshop is also being able to thrive and study with fellow women in tech! So if you are curious about coding, there are no reasons for you not to try it! 🐨
I have never imagine I could be able to code and understand the web in 3 weeks. Homework were so fun to do and it was definitely worth it to come every Saturday from Porto to learn and to have this unique experience of learning from the Matt and his team. What an energy!
Was an excellent opportunity to learn about coding and develop my skills. This workshop will definitely make the difference in my professional life. I will highly recommended this workshop to all Women's i know :) The teachers did a great job, was amazing 👌🏿
She Codes gave me a new understanding and perspective of our World. Unlimited possibilities to build exciting opportunities. I feel grateful for this wonderful Learning While Doing experience. Thumbs up to Matt and his volunteering Team. BRAVO She Codes! Long way to go. Many Blessings.
She Codes is a great intensive learning experience and it is the perfect introduction to the code world. I'm looking forward to learn more from Matt and all the She Codes team.
I learned more in 3 days of She Codes than in 2 months of online self-study. After a couple of (failed) attempts at trying to learn coding from scratch by following online tutorials, I realised I needed to try a different approach. I was excited to hear about She Codes and now I'm so grateful to be part of it: you're not only learning a new skill, but also joining a great community that keeps you engaged throughout the course.
She Codes made me realize that between me and the freedom I've been wondering about, there's no longer such a huge distance. If I applied with de conscienceness that everyone should learn how to code, during this experience I start enjoying a lot more than I expected it. And I see the future way clearly than I had, until now. Proudly saying, from now on: #ICode. 'cause you know what? The future is female. Thank you!
With She Codes I learnt what front-end development means and I'm now capable of communicating with a developer. This Workshop gave me the necessary tools to understand the best coding practices as well as the basics of User-Experience and User-Interface design and all the opportunities that arise by having these skills.
She codes gave me insights, and motivation to learn even more, not only about coding but also about product management. The amazing teachers were always supportive and kept us engaged every Saturday. Every member of this organization is dedicated and are always ready to help. It was, without a doubt, a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend She Codes for any woman who is interested in learning how to code. It was an amazing experience and it was a great opportunity to have my first steps in the world of coding while having fun and get to know a lot of interesting people in the process.
Before She Codes, the tech world seemed like a mystery to me, I was never sure where to start and if I would enjoy it. This workshop was definitely the right first step: in just a few days the teachers shared a load of info that serves as a good basis to get more familiar with the life of developers and keep on learning further. The overall experience and getting a chance to interact with interesting and motivated women was great, too.
I've had a lot of fun learning about coding, design and product management! It's amazing what you can do even with a few lines of code - now I have a much, much better understanding about the endless possibilities that tech can give us.
I signed up for SHE CODES hoping to understand the basics of coding and maybe start my one website from scratch … but I left with much more. I learned how the internet works, some of the tools to do my own website, the 'where' to go to continue learning and improving my newest skills. Learned the basics of product management and to understand based on retrieved data what my clients want and what I can change. Not only was the workshop both inspiring and challenging but during the 3 days, I had the opportunity to network with 27 amazing women full of entrepreneurship ideas and dreams to make the difference. Matt and the rest of the team were great professors even talking about such complex themes. I would recommend this course to every woman I know that wants to understand more about coding.
👩🏽💻 SheCodes is an awesome way for all women who want to learn to code. Really enjoyed my time there and learned a lot. I had no idea coding can be so fun! Definitely want to continue learning. Thank you very much Matt and the whole team! 🚀
I was searching for having a look into what would it be to work as a coder and at the same time to get my bearings as an SEO analyst and project manager when dealing with code and coders. I feel like I've learned lots useful things that I can already use for what I do and with more time and commitment I could maybe one day integrate coding skills in my career.
She Codes is a great workshop if you're interested in knowing more about coding, but especially to understand the several career paths you can pursue if you learn how to code and how to understand and engage with developers. It was an amazing experience with an even better teacher :)
It's impressive how much we managed to learn in such a short time! Sometimes I got lost, because of the overwhelming amount of information presented, but in the end, with the help of everyone, I was able to get there. The workshop opened my eyes a little bit more to what programming is, and I feel more confident to venture further into it. I wouldn't think twice to recommend it to anyone who thinks they can't do it. I'm grateful to the whole She Codes team - you are the best!
The experience at SheCodes gave me the foundation to begin my journey to becoming a developer and/or better working with developers. The content covered was exactly what I was looking for and networking with the other women was invaluable. I highly recommend the course to any female with ambitions of learning more about coding.
She Codes is an wonderful opportunity to make your first steps in the world of coding! I highly recommend this workshop for all women who have thought about learning more about this exciting industry. Be prepared for intense days full of learning, but also spending time with other motivational and ambitious women.
Such a cool agenda, making coding and web development in general more appealing and accessible to women. Pretty much made me feel like I look in the pic, but I got a great intro to a whole new world, like if I was trying to learn physics or astronomy from scratch. SheCodes is tha bomb!
The She Codes course was an excellent overview of all the different aspects of coding - front end, back end, and career paths in the industry. From what I learned in only 4 Saturdays I am able to make tweaks to my website and even have the confidence to try building one myself. Matt and the team are excellent teachers.
I wanted to learn more about working in tech and get a foot in the door, since prior to the workshop I never knew where to beginn. She Codes was the perfect kick starter for this aspiration and gave me valueable insights into the logic behind as well as a toolset that allows me to explore this world further on my own. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this happen, it's been a great experience!
I saw She Codes as a great opportunity to learn something new in a field I know almost nothing about. I have to say I truly enjoyed it, had fun with other participants and broadened my knowledge. I’d definitely recommend it to everyone who loves challenges and learning new stuff!
She Codes has been a great opportunity to learn more about coding, and the course has given me the perfect toolkit to continue pursuing my interest in web development. Participating in She Codes has been extremely empowering, and I loved meeting the other women in the course. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is curious about coding!
I am so thankful for having been able to be part of She Codes 2.0! It was such a great experience and it was super interesting and excited to get a better insight into the world of coding. After having finished the She Codes workshop, I definitely want to keep working on my coding skills. I can only recommend this workshop to every woman who wants to learn about coding but is afraid of applying to a coding workshop because it might be too complex or out of this world. Matt teaches you coding in such a great and understandable way - it was simply amazing!
SheCodes is a brilliant initiative! It gives a great (read: intense) introduction to the world of tech, including product development, product design and product management. I would recommend this workshop to any woman interested in tech, no matter if the purpose is to make website for your startup, change career or just learn more about coding. SheCodes was an eye-opener for me. With this basic knowledge of coding, I’m now able to create things which before appeared to be very complex. I wish more women to be given this opportunity. Thank you!
She Codes was a fun and inviting workshop that gave us a solid overview of the different components of working in tech. It was a balanced mix of listening and hands-on learning, with helpful and patient teachers who covered a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend the course to any women who engage with tech--which is the large majority of us--but have never been invited to the table. Thanks She Codes team!
It has been an honor to be part of the first SheCodes sessions, I loved it and would recommend it to any Women entrepreneur! I have been learning so much about the web development industry and it have been a huge support for the progress of my own start-up! Now I know that with some more training I can Code things that I never thought I could do before.
I've always had a big interest in web development and She codes gave me the perfect tools to finally understand the basic of it and start learning more. An inspiring and motivating experience that I advise to all women with an interest in technology.
HELLO WORLD : She Codes is brilliant! I have been a teacher for a long time but wanted to change my career to become a coder and this course gave me the perfect introduction and motivation I needed to start. The teachers are amazing at what they do, all very experienced and successful in their areas but most importantly they make the experience so much fun! I loved being a part of such a small and dedicated team, replete of inspiring women and actually looked forward to the early Saturday mornings, even on little sleep ;)) You will learn a lot but also make friends and share laughs. Lisbon just got a little bit better with SheCodes. : ))
Participating on She Codes gave me the first tools to start learning to code on my own and made me dream about doing new projects in joint ventures with designers, developers and journalist.
She Codes is a great opportunity for all women to feel even more motivated to work with tech. For me, it took off all that scary gaps from start learning something that seems to be difficult to see how exciting it is, no matter if you know a little or nothing. That's why it's so cool, it gives accessibility and makes possible for every women a "tech" new beginning!
