SheCodes Coding Workshop Reviews

I had a little experience with HTML before I took this course. Now I can comfortably code and I understand the concepts a lot more than before I took this Workshop . Matt made it quite easy to understand in the videos. I am grateful to the SheCodes team for the great work they're doing. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Great basics course! I'm excited to continue and learn more. Matt does a great job of teaching in his videos! It's very interesting and fun to learn from him.

SheCodes Plus has been extremely challenging but very rewarding. I'm amazed by how far I've come and, without the clear video instructions, encouragement and homework to keep me up to speed, I doubt I would ever have achieved what I have in such a short space of time. I'm already looking forward to moving onto React!

I really enjoyed this course and learned some great stuff in only three weeks! I would highly recommend it and I will definitely take other courses. The online videos and Slack support work perfectly. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey.

SheCodes Plus was fun and challenging. I think content on videos is pretty useful and I'm happy with what I've learned.

I absolutely loved taking this workshop! I had never done any coding before and I can say that videos are easy to understand and Matt makes the content fun and engaging. I can't wait to take the other workshops!

I have really enjoyed the SheCodes Plus course. I think that it is really well structured and it allows you to learn comfortably at your own pace with weekly deadlines to keep you on track. The videos are very clear and easy to follow and it's pretty incredible how much you learn in such a short space of time and on one project. Definitely a good springboard to start from!

Learned some great stuff in only three weeks! Works perfect with the online video's & Slack support. I can highly recommend it.

“I had never coded before I took these workshops, I wasn't sure what to expect. The tutorial videos are really easy to follow along with and I was able to build my knowledge and see results at the same time. I have really enjoyed the workshops and have loved playing around with web design! Fingers crossed for my future career change 😊And thank you to Matt.”

This was a great introduction to web development! I had a great time learning, the video sessions were very informative and easy to follow, and the exercises were great at locking in the information. I'm excited to learn more programming!

This course was truly a challenge, but well worth it when I tackled a problem! The help options are wonderful and I found myself understanding the fundamentals easily thanks to the in-depth instructions videos. I have learned a new skill and cannot wait to keep coding!

I am really glad I took Shecodes 👩🏾‍💻 instead of self-learning. Learning the basics through a guided video as well as having support from the Shecodes team and classmates really helped 🤝🏽when I was confused 😵. And for all those who are terrified of coding because you think math ➗➕ is involved... it's not (or at least not at this level). Like anything else, it's just a new language that needs to be learned and understood. If you have the time ⌚, I would recommend taking the workshops given. Recently, I go on my websites as usual, but now I start to the different elements behind the scenes. These workshops have really opened up my mind to a new computerized world.

I really enjoyed this course, the way the lessons are split into fast, straight to the point videos is great! Also, having challenges and a project to work on is extremely helpful for people that "learn by doing".

I have thoroughly enjoyed the SheCodes course. It has been challenging, and exciting to learn something new. I appreciate the work that has gone into creating such a cohesive course, from the explanation videos, challenges/solutions, to the Slack chats and the help from reading other peoples questions!

Video content was easy to follow, videos were done at a good pace - not to fast, not too slow. Good amount of content each week to be able to juggle work and family life and still complete on time!

My co-worker recommended this workshop, and it was a great introduction to coding. The videos were not too long or overwhelming for beginners.

I was looking for a course that eased me into the world of coding and the SheCodes basics course was the perfect thing. The videos were easy to understand without doing any handholding and allowed me to both get a good grasp and be self sufficient at the same time.

I have always picked up new systems very easy so thought why not try coding. I do not regret it! It has been great to learn, be challenged and create. Matt explains everything very clear and if you are ever in doubt or get stuck, there are numerous hint and tips in every video and you have a great community that can help you! It is an amazing feeling when you finish your final project and realise what you are now capable of! 🤩

I chose to do a SheCodes Basic course because I am interested in a career change. Since I had never coded before I was a complete beginner but quickly picked up what was taught in class. I like how you can slow down the teaching videos when you're learning something new if it's very complicated. Very proud of myself for having completed this course and for everything that I've learned.

I did three courses with SheCodes the beginner’s workshop, the shecodes plus and shecodes react. I enjoyed the fact that the short videos were easy to understand , the knowledge shared was up to date and the questions were always answered within hours. This made the learning experience easier and more accessible to everyone even those who don’t have any coding background. Thank you :)

Would definitely recommend to people that are brand new to coding, Matt goes everything in a very detailed manner that doesn't overwhelm you. The videos are easy to follow along to and courses can be done at anytime which provides great flexibility. The only things I didn't like was having to do the first two lessons on codepen and then switching to VS Code for projects after and having the CSS and JS done within the HTML file (but I am sure that it's like that so the team can grade things easier).

Loved doing the course, the videos are very informative and Joao was so helpful on Slack! The slack community was so valuable throughout, super happy with what I've learned.

Loved it. Very good videos, easy to follow but explained in a efficient manner.

I have never thought that it could be so easy to learn coding! During my quarantine, I decided to develop myself to make a career change which I have alwasy wanted. I stumbled upon SheCodes after a quick research. I've learned the basics of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Matt's way of teaching makes it a lot easier to a complete beginner to understand. SheCodes is not offering just videos to watch! The fact that there are challenges following each lesson enables you to practice what you've just learned. I am really thankful to Matt and to the whole SheCodes team! For sure, I will continue with SheCodes plus because it is so much fun and the satisfaction of coding and creating is inexplicable. 😀

I absolutely loved this course! The platform is super user-friendly and the video lessons break down complex concepts in a way that's easy for beginners to understand. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for an intro to the world of coding.

I started with a beginners course out of curiosity. Coding is something really far out from the type of work I do right now, but I wanted to see if this is something I could enjoy doing. The videos and the assignments are fun and easy, which kept me motivated and interested in learning further :).

It's such a big joy when you see the computer doing what you instruct it to do! I enjoyed this workshop a lot: the mini-videos help you understand coding step by step, so it's not scary anymore. It gets easier and funnier!

Equally challenging and rewarding course, I really like the structure, the videos and what a great project to finish with! At times, Lacking sometimes in basic knowledge and theory when it came to JS, but overall very good :)

I really enjoyed this coding class. Matt is an excellent tutor. His videos are very easy to follow and to understand. So happy to see the result of my progress 😊.

Fun and great workshop. Matt has a gift for teaching and explaining things in a simple way. Love doing the challenges after every video and I'm looking forward to take the next workshops!

Wow is where I can begin regarding SheCodes courses. Matt is hilarious - I found myself frequently bursting out in laughter while listening to his lectures. His lectures were also clear, concise, inspirational/motivational, delivered at the perfect pace, and it was very insightful to see how he problem solved in the videos itself. Initially learning to code was quite challenging and stressful..but as I completed each course on SheCodes, my perspective changed to see coding as long-game that is feasible as long as I am persistent in my efforts. The Technical Assistant on slack, Joao was very helpful and prompt to respond. The participating students raised a lot of great questions that I learned from. Other team members I had the pleasure of connecting with - Lexi/Sara were also very helpful. THANK YOU SheCodes!

SheCodes was such a worthwhile and interesting experience. I wanted to develop a new technical skill and was just drawn to coding... but wasn't confident that I had the chops for it, because I see so few women in tech fields. I checked out other courses but felt left behind pretty much before I'd started. And then being a full-time professional, I was worried I might not have the bandwidth to give to a coding class. So I thought I had too many obstacles. When I took the free SheCodes class I immediately liked Matt's style and felt at home on the site; the way the modules were broken up made it easy to digest new techniques throughout the week. It turned out to be pretty easy to integrate into my life and I really looked forward to each video. I know there's so much to learn but I think I got off to the best start with SheCodes Basics.

I really enjoyed how the workshop is structured. The videos were well explained and the challenges were very helpful (since through practice it's easier to understand how everything works). I can't wait to learn more about code.

Coding seemed very daunting before I took this course, but the videos were so well explained and the challenges really helped to understand every step of the way. I'm so glad that I took this class, and I can't wait to continue my coding journey!

The course was very useful because I was able to create a fully working, hosted small application. The example videos was very helpful to reach this goal. They were easy to follow and profound.

Instructional videos are very clear and informative! Learned a lot in a short period of time!

SheCodes Plus was an awesome workshop. It was challenging at some points but the explanation videos are very well structured and the extra support you get on slack is great. Looking forward to the next one!

I loved the course I have learnt so much in just three weeks. Easy to follow videos and challenges and I am happy that I will still have access to the videos after the course is complete.

This was a lot of fun! I took the course on a whim looking to expand my knowledge and gain some new skills. I found the videos easy to follow, and the cheat sheets were certainly helpful when I was stuck. Looking forward to continuing on in SheCodes Plus!

The workshop "Basics" was great! I enjoyed having short exercises after each video to apply what I'd just learned and having to solve a bigger challenge at the end of each week.

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and the videos were clear and easy to follow - as promised, it is definitely beginner-friendly! The challenges after each lesson provided good opportunities to cement my learning and their incremental difficulty through the lessons helped smoothen the learning curve. I appreciated how there was always help available to troubleshoot my work through the Slack Channel as it can be difficult to spot your own mistakes especially after staring at the code for really long!

I was always curious about coding but never knew where to start. SheCodes made it easy to follow and learn with their lessons and videos!

Matt's videos are simple to follow and the whole process is both fun and rewarding!

I've absolutely loved taking part in my first SheCodes workshop. The videos strike the perfect balance between being accessible whilst also remaining time efficient and challenging! Anytime I was stuck there were plenty of resources to get me back to making progress. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

I am so happy I found SheCodes! I never would have thought that I’d love coding so much but I can definitely say that it’s now something I look forward to the most each day! The videos and lessons are so easy to follow and this whole thing has been such a great experience. I can’t wait to keep learning more!

Really please with how much I have learnt in such a short period of time, videos and instructions were easy to follow.

I started off as a beginner, with absolutely no knowledge on how to code. After doing the first three week workshop I now know how to code a bit. I love how you can complete assignments at your own pace but still meet a deadline. Matt literally breaks it down in his videos, step by step making it super easy to learn. I am now excited to move on to SheCodes Plus!

This review is a contrast to the review of the first Shecodes course. Overall, I really struggled with this course. For me, it felt like a massive step-up and I am not sure I made it. I have submitted a very basic and flawed final project which I aim to keeping working on. I felt many of the JS topics were rushed and too advanced for me as my only experience was that provided in the first certificate experience . Everyone else seems to have swam through theirs with ease. So, I think working full-time, being a parent and being older than most in the cohort has not helped! I regret to say this will be the last of my Shecodes experience as I really struggled with holding onto and applying the learning provided. Good luck but definitely be prepared to watch those videos several times.

The coding in this course got a lot more difficult, but I found that I was able to retain the information a lot better than I thought I was able to when watching the videos. I highly recommend this course and I'm looking forward to the React workshop!

So i loved the videos but I wish that it were a bit more self-paced. I feel like I really struggled to learn the if/else statements and wanted more time to focus on learning them.

I have gained useful insights on how to build a webpage using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. I would highly recommend SheCodes, because it is easy and fun to learn, unlike other coding courses where there are longer videos and multiple-choice tests.

Loved the process of learning something new. It was challenging at times trying to figure out how to make something work, but with the help of the team and the videos that Matt had provided for us was amazing help. Can't wait for the next step

This introduction to coding was a great training for the absolute beginner, I was. The videos are explaining HTML, CSS, and JAVASCRIPT functionalities very clearly concise and easy to digest. It really increased my interest for coding even though there were a lot of try-and-errors. It is just amazing to realize what you can do even with some simple code!

All I can say about this workshop is WOWZERS!😲 I didn't realize until now that the baseline languages I've been learning in college(C++,Python,Etc) is like a quick start to knowing just about all of them. I didn't expect to catch on as quick as I did, but it happened and its all thanks to workshop! I really appreciate the assistance from the tutors and videos. Its showed me that I'm capable of way more than I know when it comes to coding now more than ever!😊😊😊

I thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to coding workshop, from the detailed videos and explanations to all the challenges and the final project I had to build. Matt's teaching style is easy to follow and this contributed a lot to understand each concept and how to apply it in practice. I am very happy I came across this academy and that I challenged myself to take this initial course. It actually made me realise coding is fun and satisfying, and I am keen on continuing this challenge and learn more complex concepts. Thank you Matt and SheCodes team!

The way this course was laid out has definitely exceeded my expectations! I loved every video and have learnt so much. Cannot wait to start my React course!

I really love taking the SheCodes workshop! The lessons are easy to follow and the community on Slack was super helpful. Although I am new to coding the lessons didn't feel overwhelming because they were broken down into videos 15 minutes or less.

Shecodes is a great platform for beginners! Video tutorials are easy to understand and the weekly homeworks and challenges really helps to keep me on track and put the coding to hands on.

I feel like I learned so much throughout this workshop! I really enjoy the detailed videos that Matt created, especially the ones for the final project. They made it really clear to learn the fundamentals of HTML/CSS/JS, and if I needed extra support the Slack community was amazing. I'm really looking forward to continuing with both the React and Responsive workshops!

SheCodes is a great workshop, that allows you to study in your own time and pace! Its brilliant! I found the basic 3week course really well explained in the video lessons and also love the way that there is a challenge to be completed after each lesson! Support in the Slack is great! Im super excited to start the next part ! Thank you Matt and the team!🌞

Easy to understand video tutorials made the course enjoyable and the weekly challenges and homework to keep you on track - would highly recommend.

This is a great workshop for beginners like myself! I started this with absolutely no experience and I am proud of what I am capable of creating! Matt is an excellent instructor. All of the videos are very helpful. Highly recommended if you are curious about the world of coding!

Easy to follow and short videos, very engaging content and interesting projects to work on.

I definitely recommend this workshop! I had some knowledge of HTML and with SheCodes I gained confidence and understanding of how the different pieces come together to make a website. The videos are gems of information that cover so much in a comprehensive way. In the times I would get stuck, the Slack community was so helpful and what made me choose to join SheCodes. I can't wait to start the next workshop!

This course has been both challenging and thorough. The videos are great and the Slack community is extremely helpful with working through tricky challenges. SheCodes Plus has taught me that I'm capable of learning a lot in a short time and that it's possible for me (someone whose background is in acting and writing) to problem-solve with a different side of my brain.

SheCodes was a great training for the absolute beginner I was. The videos are explaining HTML, CSS, and JAVASCRIPT functionalities very clearly and step by step, you can learn at your own pace which is very pleasant. I highly recommend this course.

This was such a great course for a newbie like med - the videos were super informative and helpful. I loved the challenges at the end of each video to put into practice what we'd just been taught. I was worried I'd feel overwhelmed but I just got a sense of childlike curiosity - can't wait to learn more🤓

Challenging but rewarding. You will be amazed with what you can create through this course and how much you can learn through the videos. Matt and the SheCodes team are fantastic at teaching and guiding students with what they need to know and I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to code.

Highly recommendable workshop - challenging and so much fun at the same time. The course structure is very clear and helpful, so are the learning videos and weekly challenges. I never thought I would learn this much about coding in such a short amount of time.

Great course, really easy to use and follow the videos. Good way to learn the basics in your own time. Looking forward to putting my new skills to practice and learning more code 👩🏽‍💻🎉

Such a great course, I loved every second of it, thank you for the awesome videos, super easy to follow & understand!

I loved this course! Matt's videos are very clear and his team is always willing to help you with the codes. It will help me a lot in my process to complement my career and start a new career as a web designer.

I really like video tutorials, they are easy to understand and I found myself taking more and more interests in coding :)

Everything is systematically and well explained in the videos. I really appreciated the support of the team and other people taking the course in Slack. This time, it required a bit more time, which unfortunately I couldn't dedicate enough of due to increased work load. Overall, great course!

The class was great, easy to follow, and the workload was just perfect for people who have a full-time job. I loved the short lesson videos. These make it easy to work on the class for short periods at a time. There is also support available to answer questions when you get stuck on something. I highly recommend it.

I am extremely satisfied with this workshop! Coding can be very intimidating for absolute beginners but through Matt's great pedagogy and clarity (said from a teacher :p), short but efficient lessons, and regular practice, it is quite mind blowing what one can do within just three weeks of learning! All the new notions are broken down into single blocks of learning to grasp the essential meanings, demonstrated in videos with explanations and documentation too. We then get familiar with these new notions to finally apply them into various tasks. It is a very progressive and fun process. Thank you so much. I am very much looking forward to the next training!

This was such a great course for a newbie - Matt is a really good teacher and the videos were super informative and helpful. I loved the challenges at the end of each video to put into practice what we'd just been taught and found it easy to follow along. I was worried I'd feel overwhelmed but Matt was great at humanising and explaining code - can't wait to get stuck into SheCodes Plus!!

I am so happy that I have SheCodes a try 🙏🏻🥳 Over the last weeks I learned so much about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Really easy to follow due to great and clear explanation videos. And due to the hands on challenges you really memorize it. 👩🏻‍💻 Highly recommended!

I have loved doing the 3 week Coding workshop! I was brand new to coding and just wanted to learn the basics to see how I got on; I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the course! The videos are really clear and easy to follow and you get all the support you need every step of the way. I have now signed up for SheCodes Plus & React as I am keen to continue my coding journey with SheCodes! Matt is a great instructor and the course is so well-designed and a great format, I'm really excited to start my next coding course!

This was a great addition to build on skills from Intro to Coding and SheCodes Plus - the videos by Matt are so well done and clearly explained, making the process easy to keep building up step by step. It feels great to have an understanding of React and I'm looking forward to using it more! Huge thanks to Matt and the SheCodes team for an incredibly well thought out workshop and technical support along the way! 😄

Matt provides incredibly easy-to-follow videos. He breaks down the steps and structures needed for coding. The submissions and final project allow for practical application and gives you the chance to explore on your own to find the solution.

I am really happy that I signed up for SheCodes back in January! I would totally recommend this course to anyone, who is curious about coding, but doesn't know where to start/ thinks that coding might not be for them. The videos are well constructed and you will find in them the answer to all the questions, even if you might have to watch them more than once (my case). Don't heasitate, just do it. It will suck and you will question your "why" many times, but eventually it gets better... at least that's what they say😂😋

This was a great three week course. It's a great opportunity to learn at your own pace. The video lessons and tutorials are so easy to digest and follow. While you don't get the benefit of being in class together, having Slack to check in with fellow classmates and request assistance is a great tool.

SheCodes was honestly more fun that I thought it would be! Matt's videos are easy to follow with bite size pieces of information and learning. I have always been interested in learning how to code and SheCodes makes it easy to approach a complex topic.

This is honestly one of the best things I could have done for myself! I've been looking at the site for the last year and a bit, wondering if I should take the plunge, and I'm annoyed that it took me so long to make the decision to join! The little bitesize videos (nothing is really longer than 10 minutes, maybe just one) are so easy to digest and everything makes sense. Even if you don't understand anything, there's a whole community of women who can help you as well. I'm going the full way with SheCodes Pro, and doing the first 3 weeks of the workshop has let me know that I've made the right choice! I would DEFINITELY recommend!

I would definitely recommend SheCodes. I didn't have any experience in coding, but yet with the instructional videos and information it was quite easy (and fun!) to complete the challenges. Matt is a good teacher, he has a good pace and his enthusiasm is pleasant to listen to and learn from. The first workshop has definitely sparked my interest in coding.

While I had some prior experience with the material, it was amazing how the videos and interactive challenges helped me relearn and retain the information. Matts videos made learning fun and there is always help available through Slack. I am very excited to move to SheCodes Plus to continue with learning!

I absolutely loved this into to coding class! The videos were great and I learned so much and had fun doing it. I can't wait to start SheCodes Plus. I honestly just wanted a basic understanding of code but after the intro I want to continue!

I am a beginner to coding, and the videos were very easy to follow and understand. Matt is an amazing teacher and communicator. I learned so much the past 3 weeks, and I can't wait to grow and learn more.

WOW! I have no coding experience. I am just an accountant looking for something new to learn. This workshop was easy to follow. I really enjoy the exercises and the tips & tricks given during the learning videos!

I never thought that coding could be that easy. The videos and the challenges make the course feel like a game and I loved playing it! :-) Thanks to the whole team!

The SheCodes workshops are really easy to navigate and force a very welcome problem-solving nature. You have to put into practice everything you learn and the availability of help is really useful and reassuring. The video lectures with a partnered task really promote an active learning experience and the final project really helps you to put things together and combine all you have learned. Great interface, simple resources and help is easily available. I really enjoyed the intro to coding and believe that the benefits and transferable skills certainly go beyond just jobs in webdev.

I had no background or knowledge with coding, but I learnt a lot from this introduction corse. I loved the layout of the course; with videos, lessons and homework every week. Anyone can take this course! Would highly recommend it to everyone.

I highly recommend SheCode! Very pedagogical teacher, great setup with tutorial videos and practical challenges, and a forum for asking questions on Slack. Couldn't ask for more!

I would highly recommend this introductory course and SheCodes overall 💯! I have thoroughly enjoyed the structure of this course with its bite size videos and their associated challenges. The structure allows for the course workload to be achievable around life and work and prevents information overload. SheCodes is well setup to support you as a learner and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My positive experience with SheCodes has encouraged me to continue my learnings with them and sign-up to SheCodes Plus! 👩🏽‍💻

The SheCodes Workshop is really intiuitive. It is a great starting point into the world of coding. Don't be afraid if you haven't had any contact with coding before - all the videos are really well made.

I'm actually a musician/composer but thoroughly enjoyed learning something new. The videos are short and concise, enough for a complete beginner to understand a few basic concepts, I appreciate and enjoyed the fact that it's very practical, especially the final project. Thank you!

I learned a lot of things in a very short time. i liked that we do task and then in the video explained how they were supposed to do.

As an alumni of SheCodes, SheCodes+ and SheCodes React I am feeling 100% confident about job searching with the skills I've gained in coding from the SheCodes programs. It is truly one of the most rewarding things I can say I have accomplished. The videos are easy to follow along, making material that is or might seem challenging actually very easy to learn. With the support of Slack and the community of students and staff you always have help with your questions and never feel alone. I can't recommend it enough :) <3

Matt explained everything really well. I very much liked the structure of starting with a short video, and then followed by a short assignment. This makes it easy to keep up and do all the lessons, even when you're busy with other things. I am looking forward to the second workshop with Matt!
