SheCodes

SheCodes is the perfect introduction workshop to coding that one could experience! I say this as someone who was afraid (but always curious) about coding, since the world always made it seem like such a complex and difficult thing to learn. Well, after SheCodes and have met Matt and everyone else, I can confidently say that that is not true. The workshop was intense and challeging, but also very simple and direct. It's the perfect introduction and the push that some might need to enter the world of programming. So wether you already like coding or want to discover where you stand towards it, this is a workshop I greatly recommend. It was worth every moment!

Two days at the SheCodes workshop and I'm already a professional developer, or at least it made me feel like one!
Most people get scared to even think about learning code: I was one of them until I met Matt in an SC "teaser workshop" at the place I work and my fear turned into excitement. Starting off with the insight Matt gave us about women's role throughout history and how can we be more relevant in the current tech revolution. It made me feel like I could play a part in its development hence I enrolled in the workshop.
Logistics wise, everything was so well organized, all the volunteers were very helpful and they made a great job creating a nice, welcoming environment for coders to share ideas, chill out during breaks and even having a drink after a long day of coding.
The learning experience was off the chart, in so little time I got to learn a lot and have close contact with a variety of subjects that helped me prepare for a more intensive study in the future. The final project submission was both very challenging but rewarding due to all the support from classmates at Slack.
Overall, the one thing I would change is the number of days, because I surely didn't want to leave!​

The SheCodes program has significantly improved my knowledge and understanding of web development. It has equipped me with hands-on experience in tackling challenges and achieving tangible results. Through engaging projects and supportive mentorship, I’ve developed essential skills in coding languages and frameworks. This experience not only boosted my technical abilities but also enhanced my problem-solving skills and confidence in my work. I now feel prepared to take on more complex projects and contribute meaningfully to the tech community.

After just three weeks with SheCodes, I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned. It's incredible to see how quickly knowledge can accumulate when you're committed and driven. The experience has been intense but rewarding, proving to me that when you set your mind to something, you really can achieve it. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to grow, both technically and personally. 

The projects I’ve been working on have pushed me out of my comfort zone, forcing me to apply concepts in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Through this process, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of coding principles and how they translate into real-world applications. It’s been a steep learning curve, but one that has ignited a genuine passion for coding within me.

This is just the beginning of my journey. As I continue to build my skills, I’m excited to tackle more complex projects and further develop my expertise. The progress I’ve made in such a short time has given me confidence that I can achieve my goals in this field. 

I'm eager to see where this path will lead, and I know that with the foundation I’m building now, I’m setting myself up for future success. This first project marks the start of many more to come, each one a stepping stone on my journey to becoming a proficient coder.
