SheCodes Coding Workshop Reviews

SheCodes Basic-Add On has been amazing! There's really been so much to learn, so much to improve on and so much to practice. I really appreciate Matt's calm way of teaching because I would always feel comfortable to go back to the videos whenever I needed more insight or made a mistake. I'm really excited for the new knowledge, and I look forward to applying it in the many projects I'll be making moving forward. Thank you for the beautiful experience SheCodes! 💜

Wow! I have so much respect for weather-apps 🤭, I didn't know it takes so much work and knowledge. It has been a challenging journey learning how to code in advanced Javascript, however I'm all for it, the silly mistakes and going through the same thing multiple times. I'm so glad we have pre-recorded videos to pause, rewind, slow-down to let it all sink in. Grateful for this opportunity!🚀

It was a very challenging workshop especially for someone like me who is relatively new to coding. The step-by-step lesson videos, the SheCodes site resources, and the support staff team on Slack helped guide me to successfully complete my final project. It feels very rewarding to complete this phase of my journey of learning to code.

Easy to work through, breaks everything down, quick videos - which good for the people with short attention spans!

I really enjoyed learning through SheCodes. It was fun, and I am excited to keep learning and building more projects. I already feel like a developer. The instructions were clear, the videos were enjoyable, and the challenges helped me learn even more. Thank you for this great opportunity!

I thoroughly recommend this React course. It is incredibly satisfying to produce something from what you’ve learned. I found myself remembering a lot from all the previous modules, which was motivating. I used a different API to the demo video, so I really had to figure things out for myself, which made it feel like real problem-solving. I could have spent weeks just styling my project, because that’s the part of coding I really enjoy. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and excited to keep coding, with a few small projects already lined up. This course has given me both confidence and practical skills to build on.

I began this workshop with zero confidence in myself and abilities and a very low self esteem but through the educational videos and the available assistance from slack i regained my confidence i did not think it would be possible for me to complete this phase, i am really proud of myself and how far i have come. this workshop did wonders for me now i am curious to see what the other workshops have in store for me i am so excited about my future thanks to she codes!

Matt's videos were very clear and easy to follow! I learnt a lot and it was fun. Excited for more projects in future!

The process was easy to follow thanks to the helpful video tutorial.

So fun learning Python and Matt is such an easy person to follow along with in the videos. Looking forward to learning more.

A valuable workshop with yet more complexity and new challenges. I really enjoyed learning how to embed maps, videos and social media to a web page and making it responsive. I created a page with multiple sections and used grids to organise the content. It was satisfying to produce a professional standard site and use industry tools. Excellent instruction, guidance and team support when needed. I am building the confidence in fixing bugs when they occur.

My SheCodes experience has been amazing. The workshops are structured in a way that makes even difficult concepts easy to understand. I loved the hands on projects, and the step-by-step videos helped me learn at my own pace. Today, I can build full websites, use APIs, and work with modern tools confidently something I never thought I’d be able to do before joining SheCodes

I really liked this course :) . The instruction videos and tasks were easy to understand. The final project was fun to do!

"I have truly enjoyed the process of learning something new, as it has consistently challenged my thinking and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I have discovered that making mistakes is not only inevitable but also incredibly valuable—each error provides an opportunity to analyse my approach, adjust my understanding, and deepen my skills. I particularly appreciate learning methods that combine clear video explanations with practical challenges. This structure allows me to first absorb concepts at my own pace and then apply them immediately, reinforcing my understanding in a hands-on way. Over time, I’ve realized that this cycle of watching, doing, failing, and reflecting has helped me retain knowledge more effectively than passive study alone, and it has made learning a more engaging and rewarding experience.

I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but I absolutely loved it! This has really boosted my confidence and made me want to explore coding even more. Unexpectedly, I even started enjoying the problem-solving side of things to when it gets challenging, I find myself researching and digging deeper until I find the solution. Thank you so much to Matt and the team for providing such great guidance for a beginner and creating easy-to-follow videos!

Enjoyed this part of react. Once you figure out the complexities of the new React framework you can easily get through the videos.

I sort of can't believe that I made this silly AI app all by myself! The videos were great, as always, and I am more than happy with the result of my project. I have enjoyed strengthening my knowledge of how to integrate APIs into my code using JavaScript. I also think I'm getting the hang of CSS - and flexbox in particular! Can't wait for more!

This course was excellent! Matt's videos really break down and explain all the steps, making Python so easy to understand. I'm hoping that my new understanding of functions will translate back to JavaScript, which I admit I have always struggled to master. Ready for the next level of Python!

I took this starter class as part of my professional development as a brand manager. I have dabbled very lightly in HTML and a little bit of CSS in the past but nothing too in-depth. I, like many other students, found the course structure very helpful! With as complex a topic as this, Matt does an excellent job of breaking down the different skills in very digestible chunks. The lesson videos are never more than 10 minutes or so, and he provides so many resources to find help, connect with other students, or learn the basic tools that are industry standards. The way he walked through each video was also very encouraging and I never felt dumb. I honestly found the course not too challenging (not to say I didn't get slightly held up at points) which I think is a testament to how well taught it is. Thank you Matt and the SheCodes team!

This one was a little more difficult as the videos are outdated and you don't realise until you have installed everything on your laptop. Only realised because I asked chatgpt what was going wrong. Also, hard to follow along as the new vite has different props, attributes etc that you need to use and it takes a while to work out why things aren't working

This one was more tricky, but the videos made it so easy to learn, use, and remember.

I loved making this little weather app using JavaScript. It was a bit of a learning curve but the instructional videos explain it all very well, and they are easy to follow. I enjoyed having some freedom to customise my weather app rather than just producing a copy of the example app! I have learned a lot and I am excited to learn even more in the next workshops!

Very nice app building. The videos are clear and easy to follow, although the material is really advanced. Love the result.

found it very challenging but the videos were very informative and made the entire python journey manageable

It has been an enlightening experience, each and every lesson and video brings something new to learn and discover

Shecodes approach for teaching coding is tremendous. During learning, we had to do the assignments otherwise we could not jump to the next one. I personally watch only videos instead of practicing which is not a good habit but this method of Matt forces students to practice. I love the everything. The process of teaching from simple and easy steps then going to hard ones was epic for me. Thank you Matt and thank you Shecodes for this free coding workshop. Best regards, Fatima

As with all the SheCodes courses I've done so far, this was another brilliant one! Matt's easy to follow breakdowns within each video helped me to gain a fantastic understanding of how to build a response website. It was amazing that I was able to build a portfolio project to bring together all my work ready for future opportunities.

I started SheCodes about a month ago with zero coding experience. The videos and challenges make it really easy to learn. I especially enjoyed the final project for the Basics Workshop because it allowed me to apply all of the concepts I learned.

The videos were really easy to follow, the mini challenges after each lesson helped with understanding the concept. The projects were great too, the hands-on practice made me a little more confident with coding.

I had the best experience. The videos makes it easy for a person to understand what is taught.

This was a very hard project with so much learning. The teaching videos helped but it is hard to follow with lots of new information for a newbie like me.

The challenges in every end of the video was quite helpful for recapping the information given.👌

Python Advanced was definitely the hardest concept for me to grasp and truly understand. Data filtering was especially challenging. It took real effort to make sense of what each line of code did and why it worked. However, following the video lessons and completing the challenges eventually made the concepts much easier to understand. The best part? You can always go back to review the solutions and try everything again. I love that there's no pressure to get everything immediately rightand that's what makes SheCodes great. This course is absolutely worth it because the skills apply directly to real-world projects!

Easy to navigate through the modules and Matt explains everything in clear and concise language in short videos which makes it easier to absorb. The challenges and homework really drive the lessons home.

enjoyed learning backend, very informative videos

I learned about SheCodes when someone in one of my WhatsApp groups shared a post about a coding workshop for women in development. Although I faced challenges such as limited study time, I requested deadline extensions for homework and, later, for the workshop itself. Despite these obstacles, I completed the Basic Workshop. The video lessons were easy to learn and engaging, making me glad I registered for the workshop. This experience provides a good foundation for me as I intend to explore the use of computer programming in teaching, learning, and research. Thank you, Matt, and the team at Delac Foundation.

Nice introduction to coding, videos were easy to understand and dynamic.

The SheCodes React workshop has been an incredibly challenging and equally rewarding learning experience. The content of each video was highly informative, and the final project really put my skills to the test. I look forward to proceeding with the React Add-on workshop.

I used to think Python was a scary and difficult language to learn, but I now realize it's an absolute must! Going through the video lessons and challenges made it surprisingly easy to follow. There was zero anxiety about whether I was doing things correctly because the lessons provide a clear, step-by-step walkthrough for every homework submission. This course was definitely hard, but it was incredibly challenging and fun!

It was a course where we put into practice not only the knowledge gained in this course, but also throughout the bootcamp. It was very interesting to learn new techniques and logic that Matt mentioned throughout the videos.

SheCodes has been an amazing learning experience! The short videos are easy to follow, and the step-by-step guides make coding feel simple and achievable. I love having access to Slack and Athena for extra support whenever I need it. Each workshop just keeps getting better and better!

The course is extremely helpful and well thought out, and videos are generally easy to follow with clear instructions.

Easy to follow. I enjoyed the combination of videos for learning and the hands on work before a solution is revealed. Love it 🫶

This week was full of challenges and growth for me. Understanding and getting used to adding a grid and different themes took a long time, but I’m really glad I got there eventually. I’m excited to keep practicing and solidifying these concepts. It was also very helpful to build parts of this project alongside Matt’s video explanations of his own project!

Challenging! The walk-through videos were definitely needed in order for me to complete this course and I had help from Slack too! I would need to practice React coding more to feel confident in it but it is a really great introduction and shows you the capabilities of this form of coding.

This is very informational and good, but some of the processes are outdated, and it is difficult to figure it out on your own. The foundations are similar, but github looks different, downloading github desktop and setting up netlify are different processes than explained in the videos, and so it made making progress throughout the weeks difficult and frustrating

Every video, homework and assignment makes me love shecodes even more. Coding has been made fun and easy. I am so happy to have completed yet another milestone and eager to start a new one.

I joined SheCodes recently and have been thoroughly impressed by Matt's ability to break down complex concepts into smaller, easy-to-understand blocks. Each lesson video is short and to the point, and I also appreciate that there are separate sections for the 'Challenge' and the 'Solution'. Overall, it has been a great experience. I'm thrilled to have undertaken this course and to implement my learnings in a landing page; it is something I am incredibly proud of 😊 I am excited to continue this learning journey and grow more confident in my coding skills!

I am very impressed by SHE CODE once again the videos were very easy to understand and i just simply love learning how to code. Highly recommend it for every one

I had an absolute blast with this AI add-on course! It was super enjoyable, yet still challenging, and perfectly reinforced all the core lessons (even going back to the basics). The lesson videos gave me more than enough information to crush the final project. Seriously, I never realized writing code to use an AI generator was this simple, it's way less complex than I ever imagined!

I just completed the SheCodes Basic Add-on, and it has been such a great experience! The lessons were very easy to understand and follow through, even as a beginner. One of the things I appreciated the most was being able to go back and rewatch the videos whenever I needed more clarity, it made learning so much less stressful. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to learn through SheCodes, and I’m excited to continue my journey to the next stage!

I really loved the bitesize videos and that it was easy to follow! Looking forward to the next courses.

Your testimonial * This was a very informative and enjoyable learning experience. I had no previous coding experience, but the videos made it simple to understand. Along with Matt being a phenomenal teacher, I also loved the support that was given by the slack team.

Challenges and projects are easy to do because because Matt always explains everything thoroughly in the videos.

I have found it very easy to follow the videos and even easier to learn from the teachings. he is very precise in his teachings. I would recommend.

Thank you for teaching me how to build grids and cards. The lessons were clear, and I really appreciated how short and manageable the videos were, it made everything easy to follow and apply.

SheCodes is a great introduction to coding. I was able to learn quickly thanks to the super digestible videos and exercises throughout the course.

I really enjoyed the She Codes Python Basics workshop and learnt a lot along the way. Some concepts took a little while to click, but eventually did while following along with the videos. Others were more straightforward, and many built seamlessly on what I’d learnt in previous She Codes workshops. The highlight was the final week, where I got to build an interactive weather app with Matt’s guidance.

Highly recommend SheCodes! The course was very well structured -- it makes sense to learn HTML first, and it leads really well to CSS and Javascript. The lessons/videos were very well made, and the challenges/homeworks/projects really reinforce your understanding. The interactive portion was especially nice -- there are real teachers grading your homeworks, allowing you to update your solution based on feedback.

This was a challenging and interesting course. I am glad I took it. The videos and step-by-step instruction made it more easier to learn and tackle the challenges. The resources on the site do help immensely. Love Athena!

SheCodes has completely transformed the way I see coding. Before joining, I felt intimidated by programming, but their step-by-step lessons and hands-on projects made everything feel approachable and fun. The videos are clear, the challenges are practical, and I love that I can immediately see what I build come to life. The community and support are also amazing—I never feel stuck for long. Thanks to SheCodes, I now feel confident, motivated, and genuinely excited to keep learning every day!

The short instructional videos make everything feel manageable. Long, dry lessons can cause people to lose interest, but SheCodes keeps learning fun, engaging, and accessible to everyone. Being able to apply what you learn right away makes the process easier and far more enjoyable.

challenging but manageable with great guidance - the videos loop back on certain steps to break down why they wrote the code a certain way so it was easy to understand.

very easy to understand and follow along, appreciate that for some it might be too slow but thats why we have times x2 feauture in videos

I love how the past three weeks have been headache free. I got to learn so much in just short videos.

I took me quick a long time to complete this workshop. When i focus and had a goal to finish this workshop I really enjoyed it. Building the final App was difficult but with the help of the instructor it was so much easier. Being able to go back to videos to help me when i was stuck was so helpful. I really enjoyed working with real-time data and just seeing how different the app looked and worked with every video I completed was amazing.

SheCodes is a great introduction to coding. I was able to learn quickly thanks to the super digestible videos and exercises throughout the course.

I would definitely recommend this course. Starting with absolutely no experience in coding I was nervous at taking on this course, but wanted to take on a professional development challenge. I was happy I did! This course breaks down the course content step-by-step which has allowed me to follow along, learn and gain confidence in my abilities to understand concepts and build a landing page. I love the videos where Matt takes us through each lesson! I can re-watch and follow along at my own pace. Challenges are achievable and solutions are helpful for reinforcing learning. I am looking forward to my next challenge!

As an accounting student with no prior coding experience, I decided to challenge myself by learning the basics through SheCodes and I am so glad I did. Despite my busy school schedule, the structured learning plan and flexible assignment deadlines made it easy to stay on track, The video tutorials were clear and practical, helping me build confidence step by step. Thanks to SheCodes, I now have a solid foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which has opened up new skills I never thought I'd have.

This project was a bit challenging, I struggled a lot but eventually I got thanks to the video. I really enjoyed every part of the lesson and now I have the confident to carry on with my scheduling app thanks to Matt and the team.

Incredible workshop. I admit building an app with react is challenging but with videos you can make it

I am too grateful for this opportunity, the videos are simple to follow, and not only that, there are external link to further explain the content. It is really fun and easy to follow Matt's instructions.

It was a good learning curve adjusting the code of my vanilla JS weather app to React. I built it with Vite since the suggested create-react-app has been deprecated, and the tutorial videos of this workshop haven't been updated in a few years it seems, so I wanted to try to learn up-to-date methods, which meant using React, Vite and Netlify documentation and YouTube videos to learn what I needed to complete this project in React.

I was honestly so impressed with Matt's teaching and clarity during these videos. When I got stuck I had the confidence to search through my code and work out the niggles like Matt does and I can't believe what I've managed to create at the end. Thank you so much!

This hands-on practice put everything into perspective. Each video concept was well articulated, very informative on the hows and whys. The flow of the project was easy to follow and seeing the overall project coming to life was phenomenal. It was a fun and challenging experience. Thank you SheCodes!

I liked the bitesize videos and the examples were useful. I really enjoyed learning something new and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

Wow, that was amazing but it was also the course, where I struggled the most. My advise: Watch all videos until the last one. And then start to code, some of my questions have been answered in videos, which followed later. Anyway, I am glad to completed this challenge and I learned a lot amazing stuff!

The SheCodes Basics program was easy to follow as the video lessons were straight to the point, and we were also given other materials (like source codes and links) that we can look into to help us in learning, answering our assignments, and creating the final project. I am looking forward to learning more!

I was a complete beginner when I started this course, and I was a bit intimidated. However, Matt is a great instructor and the course has videos that are well-structured and easy to follow. I quickly gained confidence in my abilities. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn to code, regardless of their prior experience!

Wow! I am so glad that I did the Python basics course! It definitely exploded my brain even though the concepts were similar to JS (courses that I did a couple of years ago). The project was challenging but on the bright side, very intellectually stimulating. I am ever so grateful for the entire team at SheCodes for their help and for the well-thought out and engaging lessons! Really appreciated Matt's jokes in the videos! Thank you so much!

I find the videos really helpful for us who has not been doing any programming before. The challenges are also really good, they help me really learn what was expected from the videos.

Matt is great about walking students through each lesson in the videos and the SheCodes team is always available to help in Slack. I'm loving learning through SheCodes!

I'm just enjoying every lesson in every video. Every day I learn more about coding and my capabilities. Matt is such a cool funny teacher 😂 and he makes coding so easy to understand🤗

Instructions and videos are easy to follow. Very fun and engaging!

I really enjoyed this course, the structure of learning from videos to practical tasks was the perfect way to cement my learning. Matt is a great teacher.

These exercises were more challenging in some parts, which required extra focus when coding and working with elements and functions. I had to retry and revise the code a few times, but it felt very rewarding when I finally got it right. I also really appreciate that I can replay the video whenever something isn’t clear the first time, it makes learning much easier.

As always, a great experience with SheCodes. I love that you can try everything shown in the video right after watching it.

This 2-week AI course gave me more confidence in myself and took away the fear of making mistakes. Seeing how Matt did not know everything and the process he had to do in order to find the answer was eye-opening. The videos and instructions, altogether with the SheCodes AI, are a great tool for coding students.

I really enjoyed SheCodes Basics. I thought Matt's instructional videos were very well laid out and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn coding for the first time.

Short and understandable instructional videos, challenges for immediate practice, good support offers.

This Python section of the course is somewhat a repetition of previous videos.

“I must say i really enjoyed the Shecodes basic class as a beginner with no idea of what coding is actually all about. The challenges and homework made it much easier for me to understand the 'learn videos' and most importantly the opportunity of learning at my own convience and pace made it much more easier for me as a beginner. And now i have been able to complete SheCodes Basic-Add-on.The Shecodes team is an amazing team. And oh yes i also loved the fact that i could always ask " Shecodes Athena Al" and also ask fellow students on Slack whenever i was stucked 😉🙈! Thanks alot”

Even though this project seemed like it was complicated to completed, it was broken down into small components that were easy to understand. Using the videos provided with the lessons, I completed this project over the course of a weekend.

Have loved the SheCodes Basic programme. So much so, I have just signed up to complete SheCodes Plus! I am a Content Manager in my day job and looking to branch out to more freelance work. With my content knowledge, now combined with coding, I feel unstoppable! The classes are well-thought out and Matt's videos are easy to follow. I also like that Matt mentions that you might get frustrated and not to worry. I can be a perfectionist and want to be good at something immediately, so Matt's words feel comforting and let me know I don't need to be an expert right away (especially whilst trying to get my head round Javascript!). Thanks so much for the classes. I'm looking forward to seeing what awaits me in Plus!

Completing SheCodes Plus has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my coding journey. The course is incredibly well-structured, and Matt explains everything clearly, even for beginners like me. What I loved most was the hands-on approach, you don’t just watch videos; you actually build real projects. What made this journey even more meaningful was the opportunity provided to me by the Delac Foundation. I am deeply grateful!

Joining SheCodes Plus was the best decision I made for my coding journey! Before the workshops, I had zero experience with coding. The hands-on projects, especially the weather app, taught me real-world skills like working with APIs, JavaScript, and responsive design. The step-by-step videos made complex topics easy to follow, and the supportive community kept me motivated. I now feel confident building my own projects and even hosting them online with GitHub and Netlify. Highly recommend SheCodes to anyone starting out!

The React Add-on was very informative, very understandable and straight to the point with a lot of trails within the course. I enjoyed every video and this topic as well.

Basics Add-on Course was really fun and useful to apply all the things learnt during the SheCodes Basics program. I've enjoyed building a webpage from scratch but also being guided step by step by the videos! Can't wait to learn more!

Although learning Python seems like a challenge, the module was easy and fun to learn thanks to Matt and his team. The videos are simple and easy to follow, and the challenges are difficult enough to keep you engaged and use all the knowledge you've learned.

I really enjoy Matts videos,he's very keen to detail and easy to follow through. During workshop I have learnt how to implement moment.js to build a world clock project. Thank you so much Shecodes community and Delac foundation for this opportunity. I highly recommend SheCodes!
