“I learned so much from this course. It taught me to enjoy tech.”

“I'm a career switcher. For years, I have worked in education and writing but really struggled financially. I made the switch to coding because I want a better quality of life. What I found was that I not only enjoy coding, but I'm also good at it. I am optimistic about my career prospects for the first time in years.”

“I can't say enough good things about this course. Matt is entertaining and instructive. A little over a month ago, I was a teacher aide. Now I have a set of skills I can take anywhere.”

“I'm having more fun than I ever thought imaginable!”

“This was a tough year for me. I had a serious injury and struggled to find employment. Although I finished my MFA in Creative Writing, despite my injury, I couldn't find a job that would pay me a living wage. I started thinking that I needed to do something else. I did not expect to enjoy coding as much as I do. I thought it was going to be this job that I could learn and slog through. After three weeks, I am a bit obsessed. Don't get me wrong, it is a challenge. Sometimes I stare at a bit of code for 20 minutes and say "why won't you work?" But when I solve that puzzle, refresh the page, and everything works like it's supposed to, it gives me such a feeling of accomplishment. I was a little nervous because I am not a maths person, and I can barely draw a stick figure, but it turns out that a little imagination goes a long way. There were a lot of course options I could have chosen from. I went with SheCodes because I saw that I would get trained in a lot of different programming languages. It also was flexible and I was able to start right away. I'm signed up for the Plus, but I'm already planning on upgrading to the bootcamp when I'm done.”
