"A quality web development education"
I just started my third month in the web development program. Wanted to leave a review because I couldn't find many of them online before I decided to join the program.
The good:
• The introductory course was a good way to discover that their teaching... Read More
Could be better:
• Maybe it's because I'm older and not as quick as I used to be. But I spend a LOT more time on this course than I expected to. It's been the equivalent of a full-time job for me. They say 10 hours a week minimum. But I don't know how realistic that is depending on your experience level starting out.
• Sometimes there is a language barrier. The way things are worded on the learning platform can be difficult to understand. We also have live coding events and it can be difficult for me to understand what the programmer is saying.
• The learning platform can be frustrating. If you don't answer the question the exact way to the computer is expecting you to, then you can't continue. And if nobody is around on the slack channel to help you, then you can be stuck there for a long time. Which is not only a time waste, but also prevents you from being able to access your project and start working on it.
• This isn't really a negative thing. But they have a lot of faith in us lol. The projects we do every two weeks are not simple. It's not rare to feel unprepared and overwhelmed every time we first view the instructions. It usually feels impossible at first. And the code reviewers are very strict about what they'll accept. Yet somehow, I keep managing to stick with it and complete everything.
Hope this is helpful to someone out there.

"Data Analyst track"
I recently completed the first phase of the Data Analyst course using Python at Practicum by Yandex as a beta tester.
Considering the fact that my track record of starting numerous courses across various platforms always ended up with me leaving the course... Read More
Yandex, was a totally diffrent experience for 3 main reasons:
1) Deadlines: Considering each of the modules have a 2 week deadline attached to it, this sense of urgency actually helped a lazy person like me. However, there are options available in case you miss these deadlines but still having a sword above my head helped 😃
2) Projects: Besides the regular lessons, there is a project that needs to be done for each sprint, Also at the end of any particular phase an integrated project awaits you that tests in amalgation all that you have learnt across the various sprints. Each of the project is checked and reviewed by tutors with comments to improve
3) Tutoring and Slack Community: there is a super amazing slack channel and a very well versed group of professional tutors at your disposal to help you understand concepts and guide you whenever you are stuck.
I can't thank these guys enough! A great experience so far!
