Altcademy

I can feel the hard work and heart the instructor has put in the Coding101 course. It's a great introduction to coding with inspiring materials such as the maze game and the renowned CS50 at Harvard.

I am glad to discover Altcademy, its Coding 101 programme is really bring down the barrier of entry for anyone who think coding is hard or impossible task. Once you enrol into the programme, you will gain much confident and immerse to the world of coding ! For the 5 days course, I can completed it within 1 day, because the way it structure the programme is so interesting and fun !

It was a short yet motivational introduction to the concepts behind coding. The second assignment was particularly enlightening.

I started this course with little to know knowledge of frontend technologies. I left this course knowing that I needed to learn more, but now I had a really strong idea of what to do and where to improve. I have to thank Altcademy for their patience with me and their flexibility. They really took the time to help me understand things, and with a strong emphasis on fundamentals first. The course is not only built for beginners, but for people who are looking to add more to their existing skill set. Frontend technologies is nothing new, but they really take you through the nuance that you need to understand if you want to work in this business. Can't say enough about them.

I managed to finish their full stack nanomajor over 7 months as I was learning part time. Overall, I though the course was great for a beginner as it eased you in with the basics. There were many exercises and projects, some were really challenging and took me a long time to finish. The curriculum is text based, which I found useful as I didn't have to constanly pause, rewind when following the code examples. There were some great explanations and some could be improved. Which they did after I voiced my opinions. When I needed help on understanding some of the concepts, I just asked the mentors. One thing I thought they could have done better was add some short videos for certain concepts.

As a beginner, my worries is that I would not be able to handle the program. But to my relieve, although the course wasn't easy, the curriculum was well written and definitely made it enjoyable. I signed up for the normal program and found the support from the instructors immensely helpful. Would recommend to anyone that wants to learn programming on the side.

Pros: The course builds a solid foundation on Front-end and Back-end Web Development. Lots of exercises. Challenging projects. Mentors are very responsive and always willing to help.
Cons: Would like to build more advanced Full-stack projects. No career support.

Pros: 1) To be quite frankly, the tuition is considerly cheaper than other online/physical bootcamps you could find. Some of the curriculums are written quite well and easy to understand. 2) If you choose the 1-to-1 plan, you get half an hour office hour every week to solve some of your questions.

Cons: 1) Instructors can lose patience sometimes in answering your questions and their explanations might not be 100% clear 2) maybe because it's a online course, definitely not as structured and comprehensive as physically going to a class 3) course materials are somehow useful and fundamental, but someimes could be too easy and yet the exercises are more difficult and instructors not giving enough help.

Overall, it is a decent introduction. Althought there is no way you could be a full...

I am grateful to the altacademy team for putting together this free Coding 101 course. I came in here as a novice but through the exercises, videos, and content provided, I have learned a little more than I knew yesterday. I enjoyed the exercises, they were fun and enlightening. I saw the course being advertised and I took advantage of it because, why not, it was free and worth it.

I've taken a few online/offline coding related course before but I really enjoy taking this course with Alcademy.
The learning platform is easy to use, with relevant exercise in each section. Learning material is very detailed and has lots of easy-to-understand examples.
The feedback function is also quite handy to leave comments.
Tutorials are useful and the instructor is super friendly and willing to help.
Recommend to all code learners.

This short course is well worth your time. It provides solid introductory understanding, and assignments that reinforce what they are teaching. Highly recommended.

Coding 101 was super helpful in helping me understand and get started with coding. I've tried other sites before, but Altcademy and their coding 101 program actually explained WHY things work as apposed to just HOW. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn coding.

Before joining the full stack web development course held by Altcademy, I have fundamental knowledge on HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL. The reason for me to join is that I want to enhance my skills in Javascript and web development is a good start for me to jump into other advanced developments like mobile app or Blockchain. At this point I have completed the HTML and CSS modules. The teaching content is very organized. It is easy to learn and the course teaches me step by step on both theories and practical examples. Small exercises are provided in every single section in order to recall what I have just learnt. By the end of each large section, I have to go through some small projects which give me a big room for coding a web from scratch. When I have questions, I am able to get...

First of all, i gotta say my mentor is very friendly and helpful. He is very fast in response and very patient especially when you are a beginner and you have got tons of questions to ask. Even tho sometimes i am very busy with work and behind in schedule, they will allow me to hand in the assignments late (p.s. i'm not suggesting to hand in late lol) so it's very flexible and this is what i like about them the most. The course is very practical and definitely relevant to work. I knew nothing about coding before taking the courses from Altcademy, but now i would say it helped me a lot in my career and down the path as well. I would highly recommend to take courses from Altcademy to further enhance your knowledge in all aspects.

My teacher is very helpful and flexible. I got super busy with my school work and college application and was able to pause my course. They are also super fast at responding to all of my questions.

This course is definitely a great starting point for the people who like to learn front-end coding. All the curriculum are well structured and easy to understand for starter. And it's also a big plus for the mentors that I can reach in anytime if I need. And it's nice that I can finish the course by my own pace in these few months.

The course is really beginner friendly and very helpful to grasp the basic concepts. The text materials provided are of top-notch quality and help to understand well. I'm planning to take the follow up course of Bitcoin 101 and highly recommend Altcademy to tech newbies.

I thoroughly enjoyed completing Coding 101. It was convenient to complete and while brief it offered me insights into coding and a few challenges which have motivated me to gain a deeper understanding of coding. It was 5 days of activities sent to you via e-mail, all were manageable but highly informational.

There were no cons to this course in my opinion. The material and assignments were tailored to be learner centric, short (in regards to time it required to read and practice) for those busy with full times jobs, and practical in that it was worded and explained in an easy to both learn and remember type of way. I gained a lot of knowledge about the basic concepts of coding as well as a sneak peak into the coding world itself and how different aspects work together and separately for various reasons and purposes. Great baseline course for those on the go but wanting to expand their skill set and knowledge!

I really appreciate how logically the course materials are structured, and it saved me so much time undertanding the hirearchy of each programming language. The course offers a lot of exercise, instead of remembering the commands mechanically, I can literally learn by doing. The clone projects were very helpful to train my independency, that being said, whenever I need help, Xiao has been very quick to respond. The freedom of the course also leaves me time and room to explore related subjects and further my skills, being more of an independent learner, this is the perfect rhythm for me. I think I can finish enough projects by the end of the course, to complete my portfolio.

I really look forward to complete this program and become a good full-stack developer.
