SheCodes Coding Workshop Reviews

Thank you to SheCodes for introducing me to Reactjs

This React workshop was a fantastic experience. I learned how to build an interactive dictionary app with images using APIs. this boosted my understanding of React components even more. Thank you for such a valuable learning opportunity!

The React Add-on module was another information-packed, fun React module to work with. Matt delivered comprehendible, well structured lessons as always. The final project was not only another phenomenal addition to my portfolio but also a great practical project to work on. I learned a lot more about the React JS library and feel more comfortable working with it. I would highly recommend this module, Thank you SheCodes!

Taking this React course was one of the best decisions in my learning journey. The course gave me a solid foundation in modern frontend development, from understanding components and hooks to managing APIs and building real-world projects. It was both challenging and rewarding — and by the end. I’m truly grateful for the structure, the support, and the progress I made. Highly recommended if you want to grow — not just as a developer, but as a problem-solver too.

This was a fun little add-on to build on existing concepts learn in the previous React workshop. Definitely push yourself and use the suggested SheCodes API, as it will help you put into practice what you've already learnt, without having a video to follow.

Really good course, way better explained than the first React course.

Creating this dictionary app was a great learning journey for me. I used two SheCodes APIs, one for fetching word definitions and another for retrieving related images to build a rich and interactive experience. When a user searches for a word, the app displays its definition, part of speech, example usage, synonyms, and relevant images that visually represent the word. Working with multiple APIs taught me how to manage asynchronous data, handle errors gracefully, and keep the UI responsive. This project helped me grow my skills in React and API integration, and it was incredibly satisfying to see everything come together into a functional, polished product.

This React workshop was exactly what I needed to level up my frontend skills! The explanations were clear and the project really helped solidify what I learned.

Taking the She Codes React course was definitely a challenge—but one that was completely worth it. At times it felt hard, especially when diving into more complex concepts like hooks, components, and state management. But that difficulty also meant I was constantly learning and pushing my skills to the next level. The course is structured well, with clear explanations and hands-on projects that help reinforce what you're learning. Even when I felt stuck, the support from the community and mentors helped me get through it. By the end of the course, I had built real projects, improved my confidence in React, and walked away with a solid foundation I can keep building on. If you're ready to put in the work, this course will absolutely deliver.

I really enjoyed the React course! It equipped me with all the essential knowledge I needed to get started with React, and it was incredibly rewarding to build the weather app. React made the development process much smoother and more efficient, and I'm very happy with the final result.

I felt encouraged throughout the 3 weeks with the Slack community and asking questions. I felt I did not need much help and could do everything by myself.

I loved learning React.

Once you start you just don't want to stop! :-) EPIC experience to the introduction of coding! Thank you Matt!! In the words of ADA LOVELACE "In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case, when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those that were really tenable".

Taking the React course through SheCodes was a game-changer for me! The lessons were clear, hands-on, and incredibly empowering. I went from feeling intimidated by JavaScript frameworks to confidently building interactive web applications using React. The support from the SheCodes community and instructors was amazing, and I loved how everything was broken down into manageable steps.

I enjoyed learning how to create this dictionary app. At times it was challenging. I'm feeling more comfortable with react and how to create in it.

Great addition to the original React course, good way for deepening the knowledge.

This was a great extra module on React.

I really enjoyed the React Add-On workshop. I learnt to build a fully functional dictionary, showing meanings, examples, synonyms and images related to the word. The project involved using APIs and react loops, also splitting application into different components to ensure they are clear, and easy to understand/manoeuvre. It's really amazing to have made it this far in my coding journey, starting from understanding html basics to vanilla javascript, python and react- I thank Matt for his great and detailed tutorship as well as the SheCodes support team for their prompt support/guidance whenever needed.

Taking the SheCodes React course was both a challenging and rewarding experience. Compared to the previous SheCodes workshops, this one definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. It took me longer to complete because I really needed to take the time to wrap my head around the new concepts I was learning. I often found myself seeking help from other resources to reinforce what I was being taught. That said, Matt did an excellent job guiding me through the course material—his teaching style remained clear and supportive, even when the content became more complex. Overall, I’m proud of how far I’ve come and grateful for the solid foundation in React that this course gave me.

It has been challenging and fun to learn about how React works.

Everything Is Explained soo clearly and its easy to follow and learn ...excited to learn more on my own by building more applications using react .

I really enjoyed making my app more interactive. It was fun to learn what makes react unique.

The SheCodes React Add-on workshop was a good continuation of the main React course. It helped me better understand how to work with multiple APIs in a single project. Building a dictionary app from scratch allowed me to practice organizing code and thinking through features more carefully. I feel more prepared to take on slightly more advanced projects on my own.

I really enjoyed the lessons and feeling more confident the more projects I create. The responsive section is a lot of fun and again Matt is a super teacher, his enthusiasm is infectious. Can't wait to get started on the next section ... React Thank you Shecodes

I'm so eager now to transfer all my website to React App :D

This module can be tricky at times, almost pull-your-hair-out worthy! But, once you get the hang of it, you'll see that all the effort is totally worth the challenge of React. Just hang in there and keep pushing through! Again, worth it~.

Building the dictionary project on the React add-on course was super fun!

The React Dictionary Add-on Project was the perfect way to deepen my understanding of React. I learned how to integrate multiple APIs to fetch phonetics, synonyms, and related images — all within a clean and responsive interface. It really helped me practice working with more advanced React concepts like props, state management, and component structure. Thanks to SheCodes, I now feel much more confident in building dynamic, real-world React applications!

This challenge was a greatcontinuation introduction to React! Creating my weather app helped me understand how components, props, and state work together to build dynamic applications. It was amazing to see how quickly I could build something functional with React, thanks to the clear explanations and hands-on approach from SheCodes. I'm proud of what I built and excited to keep learning more!

Nice to build a dictionary with react!

React was really really challenging!! Despite having a solid foundation in vanilla JavaScript, react had me going through sleepless nights trying to code, fix codes, figure out what I am to do, or what I am doing wrong. Nonetheless, it has been the most rewarding workshop because I learnt a whole lot of new techniques - I was able to create components to structure and streamline codes in order to build powerful apps. I learnt how to build interactions using functions, closure and state-management. At the end of the workshop, I was able to build a sophisticated weather app using react, and then hosting my application online. Once more, I would like to thank Matt and the SheCodes team for the great workshop and timely support rendered throughout the process.

Fun and interesting project that cements what was covered in the longer react course.

I appreciated learning React after having a solid foundation in vanilla JavaScript. The course is well-paced and gave me enough clarity to understand how to adapt core concepts to this framework. A good step forward.

This React Project has been a refresher course for me. I am delighted that I could follow the lessons without much difficulty and complete the project.

React is in a class of its own. Tons and tons of patience and due diligence are needed to get thru this. Then again when you have the app at the end, it was all worth it. An immense "Thank You" to the SheCodes Team.

The SheCodes React Workshop has been a transformative experience! I went from having a basic understanding of JavaScript to confidently building dynamic and interactive web applications. The workshop was well-structured, with clear explanations and practical exercises that helped me grasp the core concepts of React, such as components, state, and hooks. I now feel equipped to take on more complex projects and am excited to continue expanding my React skills. A huge thank you to SheCodes for providing such an engaging and hands-on learning experience!

I gained valuable insights during the React Add-On workshop. It deepened my understanding of the importance of Single Responsibility Principle components in React. The instructor was knowledgeable and made complex concepts easier to grasp. However, as a student, I also embraced the need for additional research, reading, and hands-on experimentation to fully grasp the material. Highly recommended! 👍🏽

I can’t believe I’ve just completed the final React Next course at SheCodes! This journey has been so much more than just coding it’s been about growth, confidence, and stepping into the tech world with a real plan.

I’m leaving this course not just with technical skills, but with the confidence that I can build a career I'm proud of. Thank you so much Matt and the entire SheCodes team, you’ve made such a real impact on my journey! 🙌

Definitely challenging! The final project helped reinforce everything I learned—especially around Bootstrap, utility classes, and media queries. Building a multi-page, fully responsive portfolio involved a lot of refining and repetition, which really helped solidify the concepts taught in this workshop. I’m looking forward to continuing with the Responsive add-on next, then moving into React. I’m also excited to keep building out my portfolio with past projects, personal passion pieces, and eventually real-world client work that reflects my growth as a developer.

Within less than two weeks, I successfully completed yet another React course — the SheCodes React Add-on, and what a journey it’s been! This course took my React skills to a whole new level. I built a fully functional dictionary app from scratch, using live data from external APIs and styling it responsively with Tailwind CSS. I learned how to manage state efficiently, handle user inputs, integrate image search with the Pixabay API, and create a smooth, dynamic user experience. Despite the fast pace, I enjoyed every moment, from facing challenges like debugging axios requests, to watching my app come to life, step by step. It was intense but exciting, and it boosted both my confidence and my coding skills. I'm really proud of this milestone and even more excited about the projects I’ll build next with everything I’ve learned. Thank you, SheCodes and my amazing instructor Matthieu Delac, for another fantastic experience!

This React workshop was very educational, challenging at times, following the videos, but using the SheCodes API instead. However, always possible to overcome and learn from the process.

Was it a bit of a challenge? Yes, it was, but it was worth it. SheCodes React Add-on was great. Each video helped me ensure that I can solve every challenge by myself.

So interesting to learn a completely new environment after JS and react! Python seams to be so much more intuitive! loved the lessons, learnt a ton! always grateful for Matt and his teaching skills! 11/10!

Was a great introductory course to react. I enjoyed it a lot.

While doing my lessons with SheCodes, I started building my own online dictionary project as a way to apply what I was learning. The experience was incredible! I went from understanding basic React components to integrating real APIs like DictionaryAPI and Pexels. Seeing the definitions, phonetics, images, and even audio pronunciation come together felt so rewarding. Every lesson I completed inspired a new feature in my app. SheCodes helped me bring my vision to life now I have a fully functional, stylish dictionary I can be proud of!

Another milestone achieved! I just completed the React course with SheCodes, and I couldn’t be more excited about how much I’ve learned! From breaking down components to working with hooks and state, the course made React feel way less intimidating and actually fun to learn. The projects were super practical, and the community support was amazing—definitely made the whole experience more enjoyable. I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made and can’t wait to apply these new skills to real-world projects. On to the next challenge!

I completed the SheCodes Plus course back in 2023 to gain a basic understanding of coding, despite not having a formal background in it. Little did I know, this knowledge would prove invaluable in 2025 when a sudden shortage required me to step up and learn React for my job. SheCodes made the transition seamless. Their clear and effective teaching style helped me grasp React concepts quickly, even with no prior experience. The investment in SheCodes was undoubtedly worth it, enabling me to contribute effectively and confidently in a demanding work environment.

Taking the React class was such a rewarding experience! We built a fully functional weather app and I really enjoyed seeing the way HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all come together through React. One of my favorite parts was pushing myself to create cool, responsive elements like an animated compass and barometer. They took some time to figure out, but seeing them work was so worth it.

Another great module to learn and work with. Having worked on a weather app using vanilla JS in the earlier modules makes me really appreciate tools like React. Well structured lessons and a great useful project to work on . As always, Matt did a fantastic job as a teacher. A huge shoutout to the technical assistants for helping with React installation and terminal related issues.

This helped me to better understand React. Great course.

So far, this has been the most challenging yet the most rewarding course I have completed with SheCodes. It is very clear how the skills we are gaining are progressing towards advanced skills with the use of the React framework. It's like solving a very long jigsaw puzzle where all the pi have to fit together to work. Thank you, team SheCodes! :)

This was by far the most challenging course from SheCodes. I personally found React very confusing and intimidating. I also thought that starting to learn React on CodePen and then migrating to VSCode added another layer of complexity that I found unnecessary. It would have been nice to create something other than another weather application, but I did learn a lot along the way. Thanks SheCodes team for another workshop!

Definitely struggled quite a bit this time trying to understand what React is all about, and faced a few stumbling blocks along the way. However thanks to the flexibility of the course structure and the timely assistance provided by the SheCodes team on Slack, I could progress easily at my own pace without feeling pressured or lost throughout the course duration. Special shoutout to Vlada, Bruno, Paul and João - thank you for always providing understandable solutions to all our questions!

The SheCodes Add-on course helped me gain a better understanding of React and how to use it more effectively. I learned practical skills that I can now apply to build more dynamic and interactive applications. It was a great learning experience!
