SheCodes

I previously worked as a Digital Advertising Specialist for a media company in Washington DC. This is where I was first introduced to the coding world. I have advanced experience in HTML & CSS but, I knew I had only dipped my toes in the water. This was the moment I knew I wanted to pursue a career in programming (web developer/web design/frontend developer). I can say that the SheCodes Beginner Workshop taught me a lot. I now have a solid understanding of HTML, CSS & JavaScript. I’m excited to further my knowledge by taking the SheCodes Plus & React courses. I highly recommend these courses to anyone who would like to explore coding. You, truly, don't need any experience! You only need a little bit of dedication & hard work 😊

I attended the 3 week workshop and learned basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This course is great for beginners with no former knowledge of coding. Course is presented well by quite short video lessons, and I really appreciated that almost after every lesson there was a challenge to be completed to test if I understood everything before moving on. 

Another strong feature of this course is access to Slack, where you can communicate with teachers and fellow students, so whenever you get stuck, there is support available. Also seeing all the other students working hard and putting effort into their projects motivated me to do my best in the course.

I will be joining more advanced workshop at she codes because I was very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Happy coding!

I never thought I would ever take a coding course, but I am extremely glad that I did, especially one from SheCodes. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the idea of learning how to code. However, Matt Delac’s unique way of teaching this male-dominated field took that feeling away immediately. His course is well-organised and the topics are explained thoroughly. I was able to absorb the basics of coding (HTML/CSS and JavaScript) in such a short period of time, and the workshop also paved a new path for me. I cannot wait to upskill myself with his more advanced classes!

I was initially hesitant to sign up for a bootcamp because I had enrolled in one to hone my skills, but there was very little help with questions and the staff was hard to contact and rude. I felt like they wanted to enroll students for money and did not care about student’s success, so I withdrew. and vowed never again to try a bootcamp. But then I saw so many comments about what a great community SheCodes was and some of the projects online. The name also got my attention being that it is for women, so, I signed up for the Express course (which was awesome). It gave me good insight and a feel for what's to come, so I had an idea of what my experience would be like. When I enrolled, it far exceeded my expectations! SheCodes, is not a typical "bootcamp." Even though the classes are online, it feels like a school that cares about its student body. Matt provides really detailed instruction that is really easy to code along, understand and retain. He also suggests that students keep practicing and reviewing the material so that we can get the material down pat. He also offers tips that help students truly develop into confident professionals - which is major! I am so excited to finally LEARN! I feel confident in what I am learning, and it makes me work harder and try new things - which Matt encourages. SheCodes brought my career aspirations back to life and I am so very grateful! I am continuing with the SheCodes Plus (enrolled now) and React courses (next). SheCodes that good! I stay up all night working on my assignments because I do not want to stop. 🙃  I would say to any woman that desires to get into programming to try SheCodes. It is a wonderful program!
