What Alumni think of SheCodes

As a 17-year-old finishing high school and aspires to become an engineer, this workshop helped open my mind and expand my knowledge to a world I never knew existed. I enjoyed this class so much and just wanted to say thank you to all the instructors for their patience and excellent teaching strategies. This program helped me prepare for distance learning, which I will need to do in 12th grade. I found coding to be interesting and wish to explore further in the future. It also helped me prepare for a class I am taking this year. I just want to say Thank you!!! 👍🏽. I love the message and goal, your organisation is promoting. It inspires change and social reform to an unexplainable extent. Thank you 🗣

The course was challenging but so rewarding. I enjoyed learning, making mistakes and creating something I can be proud of. Enjoying learning something new and looking forward to strengthening my coding skills. Thank you, Matt and team!

Such an incredibly intuitive way to learn! Great examples and easy to follow along videos that prompted further learning and more research once a topic was introduced which warranted more curiosity on my part. I definitely would recommend this as a starting point for anyone who is interested or even curious about starting their coding journey. This course is easily digestible and leaves you with relevant skills that prepare you to further your knowledge if you choose to do so. If not, still a great base knowledge of CSS, HTML and ES6.

Nicely put together lessons that I was able to complete at my own pass. Not to easy but not to hard. Makes the process of learning what can be tedious and frustrating a pleasant experience.

Highly recommended

“LOVED IT! I have been wanting to try coding to see if I liked it for a while but I was reluctant as I had no previous experience whatsoever with coding and I had no idea if it would be something I could actually do, or enjoy. I watched the SheCodes Video and decided that I would give it a try. Surprisingly, I enjoyed this 3 months more than I was expecting as the videos are easy to follow, Matt gives you great advice and if we get stuck, we can always count on the team to help us out on Slack. It was challenging at times, but also very rewarding when you get to see the result of something you have built. The project at the end was a lot of fun because we got to use an weather API. Thank you SheCodes!”

Really enjoyed this course, very informative and well-taught! I doubt I would have ever learned anything about coding otherwise. Thank you!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone who's been hesitant to enter the world of coding! Matt and his team have done an outstanding job creating straightforward lessons and fun challenges that allow you to execute what you've learned throughout each session. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge with SheCodes!

Loving the SheCodes experience so far! It's intuitive, self-paced, gives space for learning and skill building. I felt supported and encouraged to make mistakes/learn to fix them.

I've been shopping around for the perfect coding bootcamp and I couldn't decide because I wasn't set on the prices or the courses, always something that made me hesitate. But then I found SheCodes and the way Matt teaches is so great and easy to understand! I knew right away he is an expert and not only tech savvy but business savvy, which was the last thing that made me decide on signing up right away and I'm so glad I did! You learn so much in so little time and the challenges are fun and entertaining. I would 100% recommend this to everyone.

Highly recommended

This course was a bit challenging, but I grew a lot from it! The team at SheCodes are also nice, responsive, and helpful. There's so much to learn and gain from coding so I am happy that I was able to learn and understand the fundamentals. I have much more appreciation for coders and I'm excited to apply my knowledge!

The Shecodes workshop was a great introduction to web dev. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get their feet wet in it. I am signed up for Shecodes+ and excited to see what else they have to offer. The lessons have challenges after every video. You go at your own pace and at the end of the week there is weekly homework. I great way to practice all the things learned during the week. Deadlines are helpful for anyone looking for a little structure with some flexibility.

I have learned so much in a short time. I didn't think I could code, but I have made so much progress. Super glad I started the workshops. Thank you.

I have loved learning from SheCodes! The teaching methods and lessons are fantastic. The SheCodes team has done an excellent job creating workshops that keep the learning fun and challenging.

I have really enjoyed the pace of the workshop and the challenges at the end of each lesson. I am looking forward to working on creative projects that incorporate all the skills learned.

SheCodes was great! It helped break coding down into easy understandable sections and helped me generate confidence that I too could be a Front End Developer.

I absolutely loved this workshop! It was not very time consuming and works for everyone's schedule! Everything was clearly explained, I learned a lot with the short lessons and I loved coding!!!

SheCodes has been such a wonderful introduction to coding! I have learned so much in just a few weeks and cannot wait to continue learning to code all thanks to this program.

I did enjoy this course, and there was a lot of useful information. I had previously taught myself html and css so much of that was review. However, if you haven't been exposed to either language, Matt might move a little quickly for you. Luckily you can review or slow down the videos. This course is good for the right person.

Highly recommended

SheCodes has been an amazing program to help me begin my coding journey. The videos are so easy to follow and everyone is so helpful when you have a question. I cannot wait to continue learning and eventually use these skills and knowledge in a future career! 😃

I would totally recommend this course! Matt does such a good job at making this stuff feel approachable and easy to grasp. Girl power!

As a Product Designer, I've tried learning to code on my own several times but it was difficult to stick to courses without structure or community. This course was the solution to my problem! Each class had clear instructions, and if I ever had an issue I was able to get help from the SheCodes community via Slack. Now I feel more confident with coding and I am excited to take these skills to the next level!

I ve tried learning coding on my own but it was difficult as any free class does not give you any tips on what programs to use. This course was perfect for a beginner like me. There were clear instructions on what needs to be dowloaded and how to use it. Also, I was pleasantly surprise that you get help as well. If you have a question, you will get a response pretty quickly. I would recommend this course.

Joining SheCodes was the best decision I've made in quite some time. I was ready to challenge myself, learn something new, and change career paths but wasn't sure where to start. Matt makes learning these new skills so easy and fun. It's such a cool feeling when you discover another outlet for your creativity, and then see what you can accomplish! I highly recommend anyone interested in coding give SheCodes a shot. I doubt you'll regret it.

Very easy to understand, and in the correct bite sized amounts. I loved how there were quick checks to make sure I understood the lesson material, and the final project was fun!

There's always been something about looking at code that made me want to learn and understand it. Maybe it's from watching the Matrix movies, who knows. Thanks to SheCodes I know how fun and easy it is to learn, and I'm not stopping now! With Matt's help, I'm going to learn all that there is and make this my future profession.

Loved every minute of this class! Learned so much in a short 3 weeks. Happy I chose SheCodes , would definitely recommend it to others.

Great platform to begin learning coding, interesting lessons with fun challenges will surely make your coding journey amazing. SheCodes workshop is designed perfectly for absolute beginners like me! Classes are well structured with video tutorials that are easy to follow and homeworks that are pretty interesting to do, and not to forget the amazing support team-Slack that reaches out to remind you they are there to help 24/7. SheCodes is the ultimate best and I highly recommend it.

This was a great introduction to coding.

Highly recommended

Excellent Workshop. The most patient and helpful teachers!

SheCodes makes it so much easier to learn and it can be on your own time, making it super flexible with any schedule! And the instructor, Matt, makes the lessons and challenges fun and easy to keep up with. I would recommend SheCodes to everyone and can't wait to continue with the next courses!

I absolutely loved the SheCodes Plus workshop! Matt's explanations are amazing and easy to follow. I am super grateful for everyone's willingess to help in every step :) Building the weather app was challenging but extremely rewarding at the same time. I learned so much, and I 1000% recommend this workshop!

I am amazed at what I was able to learn in this first 3 week workshop. Matt has a great teaching style, and I enjoy the fact that he encourages exploration and research on the side. I've signed up for the SheCodes Plus & React workshops already, and can't wait to get started in them. Hopefully by the end of 2020, I'll have several new workplace opportunities to show all of the skills learned here. Thank you so much for making these workshops available and geared towards women.

I loved this workshop! I have never felt so confident learning a new skill and loved that I got to take it at my own pace. Matt is an exceptional instructor. I loved that the challenges were posed in a way that made you think and research on your own. Amazing.

I can't believe how easy it was to learn! I played around with HTML back in middle school and early high school so the HTML part of the course was like a nice refresher. CSS was super fun since you get to start the designing part of the coding. Then came JavaScript. It was a challenge but still super fun! I can't wait to move on to the next course to expand me knowledge! If you are considering joining, do it! You will not regret it!

I started my intro to coding on July 27, 2020 and three weeks later with no prior experience I have learned some basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love the lessons and look forward to doing more that is why I signed up for the SheCodes Plus and React. I hope to continue learning and getting better so I can use these skills in my future career. Thank you everyone in the slack Joao and Olivia for helping me when I got stuck... Peace✊🏾

Highly recommended

I like how Matt explains the lessons in a simple and digestible manner. What I also like is that I can go and take the lessons in my own pace and the technical support in Slack is also quick to reply whenever I have questions.

SheCodes Plus was amazing! I've learned so much! I can't wait to keep going with SheCodes React! I've been absolutely obsessed with coding since I've started with the workshop and definitely plan on learning more! Who knew!? 😄

The best coding workshop ever! Prior to Shecodes, I never really got to code. I was only familar with some languages through youtube but would forget them easily because I didn't have anything to practice with. But Shecodes changed that! With a weekly homework and many practices, I've had enough practice and felt like I was actually learning. Besides, Matt is a great instructor and his lessons are very engaging. 10/10 I would take this course again!

I loved the SheCodes experience a lot! I can't tell I finished a front end development course because it does not give you deep knowledge and understanding of coding. However, it gives you an idea how it would look like to be a programmer and inspires you to develop your skills further. The project was very interesting and it motivates me to continue studying.

Highly recommended

SheCodes Plus was an incredibly worthwhile, challenging, and rewarding experience! I enjoyed the entirety of the course, and my interest in programming increased exponentially with each completed lesson, challenge, and assignment. The information is laid out logically, and everything is presented methodically. The final project is an awesome opportunity to express your creativity while demonstrating all the skills you’ve gained during the course. I have learned so much in such a short span of time, and am beyond ready to start tackling the React workshop next!

Even though I was working i would still want to come back to shecodes and learn soemthing new here. Coding became like a game or a trove to solve that I would look forward to everyday. Thanks to Shecodes I can pick this up as a hobby and work on it more. I never thought i could do it.

These workshops and videos have been great at grasping the basics into HTML, CSS and JS. A week is plenty enough time to complete all the tasks and Matt makes it very easy to follow along.

I am glad that I finally took the dive in learning how to code. I thought at first that it would be overwhelming, however, SheCodes made it easy to follow, even when it got a little challenging. I highly recommend this workshop and look forward to continue with SheCodes React! 😊👩‍💻

Great classes and help on the Slack platform, I've learned a lot and I'm thankful I started it, looking forward to what more I can learn. Recommend!

Great learning experience for anyone who wants to start coding. The videos are very easy to follow along. As a computer science major, Matt explained everything thoroughly and it has been an easy experience for me to learn.

Fantastic walkthrough of bringing your wireframe to life with API's, Ajax and connecting via GitHub!

This workshop helped me discover that I have a passion for code! I didn't think that I would learn as much as I did. In 3 weeks, the workshop went from the basics of HTML and CSS, to Javascript. This is a great place to start your coding journey, and I appreciate the tips & tricks from an experienced coder like Matt. Thanks SheCodes team!

Highly recommended

Since Covid-19 hit, I was left unemployed, laid off and rethinking my career path. My best friend introduced me to SheCodes and I honestly fell in love with coding! It's very challenging, and a lot of fun. It allows me to be creative which is important to me and I'm looking forward for whats next 😊

I loved learning how to code. Seriously a fun and interesting language to learn. It was challenging and rewarding when I got a code the way I wanted it. I hope I am able to contribute to my field more profoundly with these learned skills. You need to put in the work to earn what you learn throughout the program.

Learning with SheCodes is so easy and intuitive.

This is a great first step in understanding how to code in HTML, CSS and JavaScript using VS Code. While working, I found this model of teaching to be perfect for me as I could fit the lessons and homework around my schedule. There is a range of easy to complicated prompts, which help you build ideas one step at a time. Matt also shows you valuable tricks on how to use the internet to answer your questions as well as offer insights into how current coders work, which strengthened my confidence. You won't regret it.

Highly recommended

SheCodes Plus is a great extension to the SheCodes Workshop. I have advanced my skills in HTML, CSS and Javascript. I loved how every week the lessons would build off each other. It is cool to see your homework from each week develop to your final project. This course has given me much more confidence. My coding skills have greatly increased and I am much more knowledgeable. I am looking forward to the next workshop and going out into the real world to put my new found skills to work.

The program was easy to follow and well set up

I always wanted to learn how to code but didn't know where to start. The three week program was easy to follow and extremely beneficial!

Matt provides easy to follow, step-by-step video lessons on learning code, always paired with written code and other resources to supplement the videos. I found the homework to be an extra challenge beyond the lesson content! Which is exactly what I want out of this course--to be challenged to use the newly learned material independently. Help is always available, of course--I personally found the slack community to be VERY helpful when I got caught on homework. Plus, there are solution videos after every lesson and homework assignment. All in all, I feel like my understanding of code has grown substantially after taking this course. I look forward to continuing Matt's advanced courses! Thank you everyone!

I couldn't recommend this course enough! Matt was straight to the point and taught us exactly what we needed to know to grasp a basic foundation without taking up weeks of our time. I'm a hands-on fast learner, and other courses out there were a bit on the monotonous end for me. SheCodes, was exactly what I needed to have an edge in the ever changing tech world, plus the response time of the support team is unparalleled. You can't beat what Matt covers for the prices he charges either. It's a steal! Thanks again to Matt and the SheCodes community for a fantastic experience.

Highly recommended

The 3-week SheCodes workshop I attended was perfect for someone like me dipping their toes into coding! I began this course hoping to gain a new skill while stuck quarantining at home and I can confidently say I've learned basic but practical coding skills I'll definitely use throughout my undergraduate studies and in my career. If you fully commit to the course material and its deadlines, you will get the most out of this program.

I found the workshop to be very informative and fun! While it is ultimately self led, I found that it was broken down in a way that was easy to follow and understand. I never felt overwhelmed during the workshop. The material teaches you and also tests your knowledge through assignments that challenge you to think.

I am so happy I found SheCodes and decided to take the leap to finally learn to code! Matt is an amazing teacher, I really can't stress that enough. He explains everything so well that for me personally, everything just 'clicked' in my head. Because of SheCodes, I am now on the road to expand my knowledge and pursue this as a life long career. And, yes I will be signing up for the SheCodes React next!!

I had an awesome experience at SheCodes. Matt is a wonderful instructor, who breaks everything down step by step. The challenges at the end of each lesson definitely helps reinforce the information learned. This course has inspired me to continue my education so that I may one day become a software engineer. Plan to continue with SheCodes so that I may attain that goal.

Definitely the best $100 I've ever spent! I came into this class with very limited knowledge about coding. Now I feel confident enough to say I have a novice understanding and will update my resume! I am seriously considering taking the SheCodes Plus course in order to continue my education.

A quick and easy introduction into a very useful skill!

I highly recommend this course for beginners, it’s very well organized, easy to understand , I really enjoyed it !😃 Thank you Matt Delac 🙏, you are Amazing teacher!

Highly recommended

This course was a great mix of challenging and achievable – for beginners! I really enjoyed learning the basics of HTML and CSS in tandem, as I've learned a little of each separately before. Learning it all together helped me understand the purpose of each piece! I really enjoyed the videos (friendly and straightforward explanations), and I appreciated the ability to discuss or ask questions. If you already know the fundamentals of HTML, you'll want to try something more advanced, but I'd recommend this to anyone interested in the basics.

In three weeks, I was doing more in coding than my boyfriend, who is halfway through his computer science degree! I only did the three-week course for familiarization with terms so that I can be a better member on my team at work when collaborating with the developers. Still, I honestly enjoyed it so much I'm considering upgrading to one of the longer courses!

This was a great experience. I knew nothing about coding but I can honestly say that I left with a good foundation in order to keep learning. I would suggest anyone to take the workshops if you want to see if coding is for you.

I am so grateful to have come across the SheCodes and SheCodes+ workshops. The culture of helping women grow in the web development industry is so inspiring and empowering. Matt is a wonderful instructor and the help I received on the Slack forum was quick and very informative. I felt very comfortable learning the new skills knowing that this team had my back. I am so elated and proud that I was able to complete my project and that I can now start on my new journey with coding! ❤︎

The lessons/small exercises were really helpful. I also liked how there was a bit of responsibility to do some research on my own to figure some features out.

I'm so glad I decided to sign up for SheCodes! I was able to complete the lessons on my own time and now I finally understand the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I can't wait for the SheCodes Plus workshop!

I have now taken both the first SheCodes workshop and the SheCodes Plus workshop and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed them. Although at times it was a challenge, the tech support was very helpful and the videos were excellent guides and references throughout the process. I am excited to continue my journey by learning React with SheCodes and hopefully expanding my knowledge base! If you're on the fence about taking this program, I highly recommend it!

I've already recommended the SheCodes workshop for my colleague. It's an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning to code. The workshop teaches the complex subject matter a very digestible way. SheCodes makes coding accessible, which is awesome! 🙌

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to dip their toes into the world of coding. I love how the course is structured and how Matt made seemingly complicated concepts difficult to understand. Because of this course, I want to continue coding and enroll in the SheCodes Plus with React course.

I've always loved the idea of coding, creating something from nothing is very satisfying. Matt provides you with all the tools you need to build your abilities. I can't wait to take the rest of the SheCodes courses!

I absolutely loved this workshop! It was my first time trying a workshop and I am SO happy I did! I look forward to seeing where this path takes me thanks to SheCodes!

SheCodes was really fun! I enjoyed it and liked that you could refer back to the recordings as you were learning. My engineer friends were impressed by how much I learned in just a few weeks.

I finally have a grasp of basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Elements! It all looked very complicated from the outside, but the workshop provided simple and understandable explanations and encouraged me to find creative solutions for solving my coding issues.

Highly recommended

I am a complete beginner and had no idea where to start. I googled coding workshops, and SheCodes popped up! I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to jump start my career in the tech industry! Matt and his team made it really easy to follow along and the challenges were always explained in detail. I would 1000% recommend SheCodes to any woman that may think they cannot start late in life. I'm 32 and had my reservations but I am so thankful for all that I've learned! Thanks SheCodes 😃

This was such a fun and creative experience! I can't wait to learn more!

SheCodes is truly the best! It teaches you to achieve some up-level coding in the smallest of steps. Thanks to SheCodes I am now able to step up my professional profile and start looking for jobs in different industries.

SheCodes is a great workshop for beginners. The videos, Slack community, and challenges were very useful for learning the fundamentals.

I learned so much about web development! It was great practice and I loved the interaction. Such useful information to know. Can't wait to learn more.

I love SheCodes!! I started with the 3 week workshop and after completing I immediately signed up for SheCodes Plus React. I can't wait to get started with the next portion and finally start my career!

I learned so much in this workshop! It was great to get real practice along the way and be able to ask questions if I got stuck. Can't wait to continue on in my coding journey!

This workshop is amazing! I learned basic coding so quickly!

This workshop is a great tool to learn coding basics online. The deadlines help to keep you on track and motivated, and the flexibility allows you to move at your own pace. I look forward to continuing the additional workshops.

This 3 week workshop really opened my eyes to how fun and creative coding can be. I am so excited to continue to learn more!

I've learned so much throughout this workshop. I struggle with JavaScript but I'm excited to keep learning about it. This experience has been so empowering for me!

I still can't believe I've learned so much in so little time! The lessons are very clear and the challenges/homework help ensure that the material was understood. Looking forward to use these skills at work !
