SheCodes Coding Workshop Reviews

SheCodes makes learning how to code fun! The videos are easy to follow. Plus, the whole team is there, if you should need any help. I can't wait to learn more and eventually become an full-time coder!

I continue to be impressed with Matt Delac and the SheCodes team. Thank you for another awesome workshop!

I wasn’t aware of the things I could do until SheCodes happened. SheCodes simplified coding languages in an easy to understand way such that I was able to follow through the entire time. Kudos to the team!

SheCodes basic workshop courses are very understandable even if you didn't know how to code before. Also there are Challenges that help you learn courses better. Thank you very much to all SheCodes team.

SheCode Academy is a safe place to learn how to code. All lesson are explained in simple terms that even a layman will understand without having prior knowledge to what is being taught. I appreciate Matt Delac and his team for the lessons and taking out their time to teach and train females in tech. Thanks.

I cannot believe that I finished my SheCodes Workshops completely, I am over the moon that I have this skill, and looking forward to upcoming projects and challenges. I have learnt a lot from SheCodes, especially Matt who is a wonderful instructor. Our workshops were informative and amazing. Matt explains everything clear, and we have constantly support from SheCodes Team. Personally, I thought React seems to be so challenging but Matt makes it easy and fun.

I would like to thank you matt and sheCodes team for my tech journey thus far, this workshops have been extremely good, you always make it look so easy, i'm thankful and excited on how far i have come and with so much enthausiasm on the workshops to come. Matt is an efficient trainer and i would recommend him to all and sundry. Thank you SHECODES🙌😊

I would like to thank sheCode team for this workshop. Your course was challenging you were always there supporting me and help me when asked questions. I enjoyed your class, I look forward to take another course with you.

Hi everyone, I am very happy to be part of the team and eager to learn many things...

I would like to thank sheCode team for this workshop. Your course was challenging you were always there supporting me and help me when asked questions. I enjoyed your class, I look forward to take another course with you.

I have had an amazing time learning the basics of front end development with SheCodes. Matt is a great instructor, and the tools/ resources that have been provided are so valuable. Thanks team.

I have genuinely enjoyed learning during these past weeks and have acquired a lot of useful knowledge. Thank you, Matt and SheCodes team!

I truly enjoyed this couse and I learned so much. The team at SheCodes was amazing and helpful.

It was really hard and complicated but at last I CAN Happy for myself and should say thanks to Matt and Shecodes team

It is a very good course for beginners. Very structured and clear to follow. I did not feel any confusion while learning. Thanks to the SheCodes team and the good teacher "Matt"!

SheCodes Plus is definatley far more challenging that anything we've done previously. Creating the weather app has been an incredible learning curve, but so fulfilling to be able to create something from scratch. The SheCodes team are absolutely wonderful and provide great assistance and clarity if you need.

I am super impressed with this course! I was slightly sceptical about enrolling as I had no insight into coding! However, working with SheCodes has created opportunities that I would have never expected, or even considered possible without a degree. I have, and will continue to promote this amazing course as it is a great segway into the world of technology! I can not wait to see what is in store for me after completing this course (and likely completing the advanced course) . Thanks to all of the team for their amazing work.

Learning the basics of coding has been as intense as challenging but at the same time really enjoyable and in a way, easy. The videos are really efficient and Matthieu's explainations cannot be clearer. I could not complete the week 1 homework and challenges in due time but it was easy to request an extension, and the team was very understanding. I found the course very flexible, fun and interesting. I feel like I really understand how HTML, CSS and Javascript work, and feel more confident for the future. I was starting a UX design course at the same time, and was hoping to learn about the basics of coding since employers often like potential UX designers to be able to communicate and understand developers. I feel so much more confident now with the basic but yet thorought and solid knowledge SheCodes gave me!

I am 25 and a stay at home mom. I came across SheCodes on a social media platform. I really appreciated that they had a free 1 hour class to discuss what they do, how they work, and how easy it can be to learn coding, through them. Being a stay at home mom has its difficulties, and I really appreciated that it wasn't time consuming. It did still take a lot of effort, but I finished the basic course, and really LOVED my entire experience. I have now completed the plus course, I truly feel I have found a love for coding and am excited for the opportunities it can bring me and my family. I can't wait to see what's to come after this. Thank you to Matt Delac and the rest of the SheCodes team!

I've really enjoyed learning with SheCodes.The course is well structured and easy to digest and follow, with clear explanations for all lessons. Matt is an engaging and knowledgable instructor and gave us plenty of tips and tools to help. I enjoyed having the freedom to complete lessons and felt well challenged by the time I was completing my final project. I can't believe I've just written a whole bunch of code that works!! Thank you Matt and the SheCodes team :)

Huge thank you to all, who is the part of "She Codes" team for letting me be here and for this amazing chance to learn coding! I appreciate your help with all my heart. Even though it wasn't easy, at some points I was really struggling as a complete beginner, but with your guidance it became possible for me! Matt, you have a big talent for teaching, I remember from the first lessons I was thinking "if anybody is able to teach me coding, it's going to be you", thank you!

This workshop has helped me a lot to start my new career.I find coding fun and exciting. I am so happy when I have to work on either challenges or projects related to lessons.I'd like to thank Shecodes team.Thanks a lot!

“I am so happy to be part of the SheCodes.io Alumni Team. We have Matt is a great tutor with a simple-to-understand didactic. Happy with what I've reached this far and looking forward to the next steps. I believe this is just the beginning of an admirable adventure.⌨🖥

OMG! I love this course so much! Never I would have thought that I could understand something in coding 🧐. Moreover, I never would have thought that it would be interesting and not so difficult for me 🤓. Every time I saw my result, it was like "Wow, I can do it! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 I want to express my deep gratitude to Matt and to all his team for the opportunity to take this course. And I am ready to continue! 🙌🏻

The best course I have attended ever.Thank you Teacher Matt an d SheCodes team

This three weeks was very informative and funny. Clear explanation and interesting challengs, what else can be so effective in learning ?I am grateful to Matt and SheCodes team for this experience!

I recently attended a coding workshop and I have to say, it was an incredible experience. While the challenges were difficult at times, they were also a lot of fun. The tutorials were very in-depth and Matt's teaching style was incredibly effective. He managed to break down complex concepts into understandable bits and pieces, which made it easier for me to follow along. One of the best things about the workshop was the Slack chat. It was an incredibly helpful resource, and I found that I was able to get answers to my questions very quickly. Additionally, I was able to get extensions on my project, which was a huge help. This allowed me to work at my own pace and to ensure that I was producing quality work. Overall, I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in coding. The challenges and tutorials will definitely push you out of your comfort zone, but the knowledge and skills you will gain are well worth it. Thanks to the flexibility and helpful resources, I was able to complete the workshop in my own time and felt truly empowered by the end. Thanks to the team for such a wonderful experience!

I'm so glad I bought the whole package from SheCodes, I realize that is such an inversion. Everything that I have learnt in these past eight weeks I'm using it for my personal projects. Matt and their team are the best due to the way they make complicate things simple. Thank you!

Happy with another step completed :) Thanks SheCodes team for supporting and guidance. I'm looking forward to next projects.

Shecodes workshops help me a lot , there are many solution for make a great website, I like those a lot , thank you Dear Math and others in Shecode team . every thing is wonderful without any exaggeration...with best wishes for you . Mitra

I cannot find a coding workshop to be more content with. Thanks Matt Delac and his great team too much. Can't wait for new coding workshops of SheCodes.

SheCodes is really the best way to learn to code. The video explanations are easy to understand and easy to follow. Having finished the Basic workshop, I saw how the team really thought of the smallest things that would help the participants in their learning journey. They provided all these additional resources which are very useful to beginners: cheatsheets, tools, fast support from the team, and access to a community of learners, etc.

I am so grateful for Matt and his hard-working team at SheCodes. This course was challenging and took me longer than expected but with their help and guidance along the way I got through each obstacle. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning programming, you should definitely try SheCodes. The environment is unmatched, and the help is prompt.

I love to improve my skills with every workshop Thanks a lot to Matt and to the team for keeping me motivated ♥️

They were things I just thought I would not be able to do in this lifetime. For example build an actual weather app that shows the current date, temperature, time and the forecast for the next day. But with Shecodes I managed to learn how to do it in a matter of weeks and also build my own. This has truly taught me that anything is possible when it comes to coding.It just needs consistency, patience and an amazing team from Shecodes !

This program has been a game-changer for my career as a software developer. Under the guidance of the talented SheCodes team, I gained a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The hands-on projects allowed me to apply my knowledge effectively, boosting my confidence in coding. The supportive community and interactive Slack channel fostered a collaborative learning environment. SheCodes Plus also prioritized essential skills like version control and Git, ensuring a holistic learning experience. I am now equipped with the skills and passion to succeed in the tech industry. I highly recommend SheCodes Plus to anyone seeking a transformative coding journey. Thank you, SheCodes, for empowering me and opening doors to exciting opportunities.

This course has been beneficial to me, it was also challanging but i needed that to grow my skills. I want to thank SheCodes team for yet another apportunity.

I really liked the structure of the courses, the length of the lessons and the exercise after the lessons. The weekly projects were fun as well as challenging. I'm so happy to have made the decision to join the course! Thank you SheCodes Team!

I enjoyed working with SheCodes, I learned a lot of new things, learned coding from scratch. I would like to continue my further studies. Thanks to SheCodes team.

What a fantastic introduction to coding! After completing four SheCodes workshops, I feel empowered to make my own projects and continue my journey with web development. React isn't the easiest to learn, but Matt is an excellent teacher and the Slack team is amazing. The learning is project-based, fun, and engaging. I highly recommend!

SheCodes Plus a bit challenging but worth the hard work. I enjoyed every second of the course, Matt’s way of teaching is remarkable and engaging. Many things to learn, I was looking forward to learn the API and the functionality in more advanced level. Team are so helpful and kind. Highly recommend the course, and can’t wait to progress further.

The course was excellent. It was so challenging for me to learn React, which is why I greatly enjoyed it. Through this challenging course, you get to know your coding abilities, which is so exciting. I think it would be a good start for becoming a front-end developer Just jump into the coding world with the SheCodes team and have fun! Many thanks to the team for the excellent training.

An excellent course where you get real practical skills. A good start for further developing in the field of web development. Many thanks to the team for the excellent training.

I feel so excited about this course that I look forward to every lesson. I never knew learning to code could be this fun. Thank you Instructor Matt and the Shcodes team for all your effort to make this workshop what it is.

This workshop is perfectly designed for someone who has no background in this industry. I found it very useful and fun, but hard. Search engine was not easy to code, but thanks to the help of the team on Slack and all the material provided it was possible. SheCodes is my first step towards changing career paths and I think this coding bootcamp is really good, so im looking forward to start with the next conding workshop.

React was tough to learn, but thank to the help of the team on Slack I made it through (and with an awesome weather app to show for it). Now on to building my own sites and learning even more. Thanks!

Best workshop content and challenges ever! I love you Matt Delac and the entire SheCodes team. My sincere gratitude is extended to Delac Foundation for giving me this opportunity for free, I would never forget this bootcamp.

I started coding less than a month ago and have learned so much. SheCodes is the best platform to learn how to code because in such little time, you are able to learn so much and the team is constantly there to help whenever you get stuck with anything.

I have learnt so much about responsiveness thanks to sheCodes Team

I am grateful to the Shecodes team and their excellent Instructor Matthieu Delac for giving me this opportunity to learn coding. I'm looking forward to keep learning more.

I just completed the SheCodes Basics Add-On and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of the course. The SheCodes team did an excellent job of building upon the foundation I gained in the SheCodes Basics course and introducing new concepts that were challenging yet manageable. The assignments were engaging and the format of the lessons was easy to follow, even for someone like me who is brand new to coding. Additionally, the SheCodes team continued to provide fantastic support and guidance on Slack, which was a tremendous help whenever I had questions or needed extra clarification. Overall, I highly recommend the SheCodes Basics Add-On to anyone looking to expand their coding skills!

Thanks to Matt and his team for this great opportunity. I had a lot of fun, it is great to have a challenge with most of the lectures to apply what you have learned and I loved to have actual results in the end that I can show to others. I started this course to get some basic knowledge in coding as I am trying to change careers into UX Design and be better equipped to talk to developers, but I might just change course completely and switch to coding ... I am not sure yet, the jury is still out there. But who knows?

I have always wanted to try coding and SheCodes turned out to be a great place to learn the basics. It really helps that you can work in your own time and the lessons were easy to follow, but there is plenty of help if you get stuck. Thank you to Matt and the SheCodes team!

It were amazing workshops, I fell in love with React! Thanks a lot Matt and SheCodes team for new knowledge and thanks for supporting girls from Ukraine 💜 🇺🇦

Hooray! I have already completed the third course in the program, which was provided to me for free by the SheCodes platform. Comparing myself with how I felt at the beginning of the course and now, I feel satisfaction and gratitude. Satisfaction from the fact that I can make a site, make it contact the user. It brings great pleasure! And thanks to Matt Delac and his SheCodes project for the opportunity. If not for Matt, I hardly felt so confident in web development. The program is designed perfectly for beginners, a very qualified support team and a deadline system guarantees the successful completion of the courses.

My coding journey with SheCodes has been a rollercoaster experience, exciting & challenging all at once. I'd like to thank the SheCodes team for clear guidance and support through-out this journey. My coding confidence rises every week, and I cannot wait to see what's on the NEXT course! 😍 I'm expecting more challenges, more fun! Thanks, SheCodes!

It was a great project! I'm going to use it for my portfolio. Thanks to the SheCode team for taking me to the course and answering all my questions

I recently completed the SheCodes Basics course and I can't recommend it enough to other women who are interested in coding. The format of learning is engaging and the pace is just right. The homework assignments are thoughtfully designed to reinforce what we learned in class and encourage us to explore and figure things out on our own. The SheCodes team is also incredibly supportive and responsive on Slack, which really helps when you're stuck on a problem. Overall, I'm really happy with what I learned in this course and I'm excited to continue my coding journey with SheCodes!

More challenging than the SheCodes Basics courses, but incredibly fun to advance quickly into advanced HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Understanding and using APIs is a great benefit for my current role at the FinTech company I work for, so this is definitely helping me in my career as well. A big thank you to Matt and the SheCodes team for this excellent Web Development course!

It is an amazing course! I am able to create a brilliant website only after two and a half weeks of study! Matt's videos are clear and highly-professional. It's a great opportunity to expand your skill set. The team on Slack is friendly and prompt. Thank you.

Matt is such a great facilitator. He conducted the sessions in a way that was easy to understand and grasp. The interactive sessions made it even easier to understand the content. I am happy to registered for Basics. The content was well delivered and I can confidently say I am ready for the next phase of study. Thank you Matt and the entire team.

Thank you to Matt and the SheCodes team for providing another wonderful workshop. I am excited to continue growing my skills as a front end developer.

I really enjoyed attending this course and learned a huge amount of new stuff about coding. I really appreciate what SheCodes team is up to.

I really enjoyed building my portfolio with this workshop! I feel more and more confident in my abilities to code, all thanks to Matt and his amazing team.

It is really abundant of knowledge. Matt's explanations are very wonderful. You can feel SheCodes Team's loving kindness all the time from the time you start your lesson.

Thank you for the interesting information. The material is easy to understand and well chosen tasks to consolidate the material. Thanks to the team SheCodes for their support and help.

super nice team, everything just so helpful and great structured and designed, really learned something and love this open source idea and community, will stay in touch for sure, thank you so much.

It feels amazing to have completed this journey. I can't wait to build projects of my own and to see what the outside world holds for me. Thanks to all team SheCodes for their support through out this time.

I highly recommend Responsive workshop as it's another amazing course created by SheCodes. As always, all videos provide clear and easy to follow instructions as well as extremely useful real-life solutions and tips that cannot be easily found anywhere else. Once again, thank you Matt and SheCodes team!!! Now I'm looking forward to React workshop!

I really appreciate the self-paced aspect of SheCodes. Learning something new can be a lot on top of working full-time, but the SheCodes team is so amazing and helpful. Although it is challenging I am really enjoying learning something new and useful!!

This course is an outstanding resource for anyone interested in learning how to build web applications using React. The course content is well-structured, comprehensive, and easy to follow. The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, and they do an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in a way that is accessible to beginners. The hands-on exercises and projects provide a great opportunity to apply what you have learned and build real-world applications. One of the things I appreciated most about this course was the level of support provided by the SheCodes team. They were always available to answer questions and provide feedback on my work, and the community of learners was incredibly supportive and encouraging.

I recently completed the SheCodes Plus course, and I have to say, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my career. The program provided me with a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience that equipped me with the latest development technologies and techniques. Throughout the program, I was able to master advanced HTML, CSS, and responsive design, as well as advanced JavaScript techniques, such as ES6. I also learned how to integrate live APIs into my projects and showcase them to future employers. One of the things that stood out to me about the program was the emphasis on using Git and GitHub to manage my code the way professionals do. This streamlined my development workflow and helped me to become a more efficient and effective developer. Thanks to SheCodes Plus, I was able to validate my business idea by building my own product and kickstart my career as a tech freelancer. The skills and knowledge that I gained during the program have already opened up new opportunities for me, and I'm excited to see where my career in tech will take me. Overall, I highly recommend SheCodes Plus to anyone who is looking to break into the tech industry or advance their skills as a developer. The program is challenging, but the support and guidance provided by the SheCodes team make it a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

This workshop was so great and I am extremely excited. Thank you SheCodes team!❤

It was a fantastic beginning of huge coding journey! I'm so grateful for the SheCodes team, both learning process and challenges are amazing. You really don't need to know coding in order to start any workshop. I'm eager to continue learning 🤗

Thank you SheCodes for an amazing opportunity to learn coding as a beginner. I enjoyed the tasks and projects and of course all the help I got on slack. Thank you Matt and the entire team for taking out time to create simplified video lessons. I loved every bit of the journey. I look forward to doing more with you.

SheCodes Responsive was really challenging and fun. I have learnt so much and feel really equipped to build responsive websites going forward and I cannot wait to get an opportunity to use these skills. I am really grateful to Matt and the entire SheCodes team for the amazing support through out the workshop. I like how real Matt is, and does not necessarily want to perfect his videos. And reminds us at all times that a break is necessary whenever you feel frustrated and that it is all part of the job of a developer.

This workshop was great. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Matt is a great instructor and SheCodes team is very helpful. So, I am determined to continue my coding journey with SheCodes Workshops and I highly recommend that you give it a try.

I would like to thank you Matt and all team! I found it to be a great introduction to coding. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, even for someone with no prior coding experience. The lessons were clear and concise. I appreciated the support provided by the SheCodes team, including the Slack community. The community was friendly and welcoming, and it was helpful to have access to instructors for any questions or issues. Overall, I would highly recommend SheCodes Basics to anyone interested in learning to code. It's a great starting point for building a foundation in coding skills.

I am very proud of this project, it took two months of hard work, some moments of frustration but which were soon resolved with the quick and effective support of the team. The support and classes are excellent! Thank you and I can't wait to start the next module :)

This workshop was great! It was challenging at times, but also really fun to learn all the new techniques that Matt explained so well in all the videos. Thank you again SheCodes team!

I can't believe I've made it this far in my coding journey. It has been challenging but never impossible to understand. Matt is a great teacher and everyone on the SheCodes team is always very kind and helpful. I'm happy to have made the decision to learn coding.

I have never thought that I will learn coding ever, I used to believe that learning coding is difficult and will not make sense for me, But I was wrong- anyone can learn how to code and I thoroughly enjoy every bit of it. I want to thank the 'SheCodes' team for making this possible for me especially Matt- the content was easy to understand and I was able to follow every instructions that was given. As an HR professional, I feel empowered and this will help me in many ways. I look forward to learning more!

I would like to thank Matt and his team at SheCodes for making this challenging but effective introduction to coding a possibility. It is affordable and easily accessible. It has given me the confidence to know that learning to code is possible under any circumstance and at any age. Having come from a varied background but with the intense desire to understand the basics, made this challenge interesting and very impactful. SheCodes Basics is fast paced and detailed. The numerous resources available make it a very comprehensive introduction to coding. I am grateful to have been through this course and would highly recommend it. Happy coding!

Enrolling in the SheCodes Basics workshop was such a great experience. I've always been intimidated by coding, but Matt and the SheCodes team made the learning process so approachable by breaking down concepts into bite-sized pieces. I've learned so much more in the 3 weeks of the workshop than I did after months on other platforms. The support through the Slack channel I received throughout the workshop was invaluable. I love walking away from the workshop with a complete project to demonstrate my new skills and look forward to continuing my coding journey.

I'm really happy to give myself the opportunity to learn something new. Thank you Matt and the SheCodes Team!! You're amazing guys!! Happy Coding everyone!

I fell in love with coding with Matt and SheCodes. Matt is a great teacher and the SheCodes team is always ready to help you.

I'm so happy to complete that course. Still can't believe that now i have my own weather app (not perfect, but im happy with my result). I'm so proud to go through these little steps in coding with SheCodes team, thanks for help and support.

This kind of learning is what I really wanted from longtime ago. I've always been intrigued and curious by how all those webpages are built and really wanted to find courses. I loved doing the workshops, even though I really hadn't enough time I love doing the research; the challenge of resolving sometimes the bug is so excinting. I really had fun! Awesome intiative Matt for creating this for women and great job team!

I was initially skeptical about joining the SheCodes bootcamp, having tried various other coding courses in the past that were not straightforward and left me constantly filling gaps by watching YouTube videos on my own time. However, from the very start of the SheCodes degree program, Matt's explanations were clear and made the learning process much easier. I found that I barely had to use any external help, which was a refreshing change. The team were also incredibly responsive and helpful whenever I had general enquiries or issues with my work. Overall, I had an excellent experience with SheCodes and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into coding. The program was well-structured and easy to follow, and the support provided by the SheCodes team was second to none. I'm now much more confident in my coding abilities and excited to continue my learning journey in this exciting field.

It was a wonderful experience! A professional team that will promptly help with all questions and difficulties. But there were not many questions, as the video tutorials are very clear and visual. It's nice to see the result of creativity in the form of a working application :) I would just like to ask you to add subtitles, because with them it will be easier for foreigners to learn the material in English. Not everything can be immediately understood by ear, so you need to reduce the playback speed, which slows down the process. I wish you all the best and thank you Matt and the whole team for your work!

Clearly, SheCodes is the platform to get yourself into coding or refresh your knowledge. The lessons and assignments are of high quality and make the discipline easy to understand. Great thanks to the SheCodes team!

Shecodes offers the best tech experience one can wish for. I see a lot of improvement in my coding skills as I do the daily challenges that our instructor Matt Delac makes us do which encourages and makes it easier for me to tackle the projects. I am very thankful to God for him and the shecodes team for such a great opportunity. May God bless them.

I had a fantastic time learning code with SheCodes. I'm grateful to all of SheCodes team for providing me the opportunity to learn something I've always dreamt of.

just completed my first project and I must say it was totally an awesome one, challenging and fun , learnt to look at situations with a different lens. Thanks Matt and the Team!

SheCodes Responsive is a very enjoyable and important workshop. Building a responsive website is a huge amount of work but at the same time, it is interesting and engaging. Every lesson guides you step by step, teaching every important detail gradually. As always, amazing workshop. Thank you, SheCodes team!

The experience was very nice and I really appreciate the help of the technical support team, and of course Matt for encouraging me to take the course. The videos are very easy and simple to understand.

The SheCodes react workshop has been an extremely challenging one. It has been a confusing yet interesting experience. I look forward to broadening my coding language and applying everything I have learned. I also want to thank Matthieu Delac and the SheCodes team for the efforts they made to make things as simple as possible.

I recently completed the SheCodes Plus course and I am so impressed with the quality of instruction and the support provided by the SheCodes team. The course is well-structured, easy to follow, and provides a comprehensive introduction to coding. The SheCodes community is also amazing - I was able to connect with other learners and receive help and encouragement from instructors and peers alike. Thanks to SheCodes, I now have a foundation in coding and feel confident pursuing further learning and opportunities in tech. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning to code.❤️

SheCodes made it easy for me to learn to code and a fun experience. I am grateful to get this opportunity from the best team SheCodes.

SheCodes is really the best way to learn to code. The video explanations are easy to understand and easy to follow. Having finished the Basic workshop, I saw how the team really thought of the smallest things that would help the participants in their learning journey. They provided all these additional resources which are very useful to beginners: cheatsheets, tools, fast support from the team, and access to a community of learners, etc.
