Altcademy

Coding isn't easy to learn and I can tell they tried their best to make the process less daunting. The mentoring is what keeps me going. Without my mentor's help, I probably would have given up in the first month.

The learning platform is easy to use.... Read More It has a calendar schedule to help you keep pace. There is progress tracking and email updates. The questions bank has a lot of resources and is my first goto place when I run into issues.

This is actually my third attempt trying to learn coding. I enrolled in two other online schools before. The first time I gave up because I was lazy and not motivated enough. The second time I was not absorbing the content well, it was a video based curriculum, so I dropped out after two weeks. This time I feel like I will be able to get through as everything seems to be falling in place. I find that I can retain a lot more information with text based content and my mentor's support makes a huge difference.

P.S. I didn't sign up for the personalized option that comes with office hours. So far I feel getting help from chat and the Q&A portal is enough for my needs.

I thoroughly enjoyed the program.

Coding 101 for beginners was highly educational, fun at certain points, and in simulation, challenging my mind to correct my own coding issues. This course was very easy to understand, and made me want to learn so much more. It was broken down to a point... Read More where it no longer sounded like an ungodly hard thing to learn. As for the cons of the course, I honestly can't say there are any to me. Thank you for the free course study, I hope to learn more from the school soon!

Fantastic starter course for anyone who is interested in learning about programming. The course is divided into 5 days and covers basic concepts such as what is coding, binary numbers, programming structures, how to solve complex problems, and actual... Read More coding exercises.

My mentor is friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I got very indepth feedback on all my coding projects from my mentor. All in all, I am happy with the program.

I have done some programming courses on other platforms before Altcademy. But I wasn't able to learn comprehensively because there were just too many choices, and choices are bad for beginners. Altcademy's strict syllabus helped me focus on learning the... Read More right things in the right order. I would recommend this to anyone who needs guidance in learning web development.
