“I believe that the main task of any training is to give a charge of optimism and inspiration for any action, the birth of ideas and the emergence of new goals. SheCodes team completely coped with this task. I have new ideas where I can apply the acquired knowledge for myself and how it will help me in my work. Isn't it exciting to know computers and be able to build a career creating websites, mobile apps and more? I communicate with IT specialists every other time and see how they work wonders (“enter codes”). I was intrigued but didn't have the courage to start a programming course until I got into the SheCodes refugee program. https://www.shecodesfoundation.org/ukraine At first, I thought that when I join SheCodes, I would study programming just to improve my life and the lives of the people around me, to be able to know how a programming language comes into being, create those scripts that I saw how guys from IT started at work. The first week of training made me think about changing my goal from searching around myself to searching for the international community. There is power in sharing knowledge. The way SheCodes shares her programming experience is the same way I want to learn and be able to pass it on to the younger generation. Programming solves problems. This simplifies tedious routine work. just a few seconds and the task is completed. Work just got easier, right? Once a problem is solved, more time is created for other things, making one job more productive, efficient, and effective. I find that some programs take less than thirty minutes to write and will probably save me dozens of hours in the long run. frustration at the click of a button that starts a script.”

“The course exceeded my expectations in many regards — especially in the depth of information supplied and the access to the community for feedback on work in progress. In a very non-threatening environment, I learned key principles of basic HTML, CSS and JS that I can implement immediately.”
