As a student here, I can say the learning experience has been like no other! I am a self-taught developer going on 5+ years of online self-study. After the virus and lockdown hit, I managed to find c0d3. What makes c0d3 different from other platforms like freeCodeCamp, CodeAcademy, Udemy, etc.? I feel that here at c0d3 we focus more on community and helping one another out than anywhere else. Learning to code (partic…

I totally agree. The experience mirrors what you would be doing at a tech company. Song definitely planned this correctly.

More than one.

code noun (COMPUTER)[U] computing specialized a language used to program (= give instructions to) computers: The children are learning to write code. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/code#cal...

Sorry, my comment was snarky and underdeveloped.

What I meant was "coding" may refer to any number of languages, whereas "javascript coding" obviously refers to only one language.

I'm curious to learn what you plan to do in order to understand the retention rate issues

When students engage with me to ask questions, I usually just ask them directly: "If you decide that this isn't for you, please let me or someone else on the team know before you do so we understand how we can make this a better learning platform for future students"

Have you discovered patterns? I've done some research work on remote learning, so genuinely curious.

Part of being a good human is to uplift neglected or underserved or just people in general. Tech has solved so many problems and economic inequity is one of them

we need more doctors and nurses and affordable lawyers. why not become a doctor or lawyer?

1. Because doctors and nurses and lawyers are required to go through specific education programs to become doctors and nurses and lawyers. Having the knowledge is not enough for those fields - the classes are required if you want to legally be a doctor/nurse/lawyer. Software development is not that way. You can learn it on your own and prove yourself on the job.

2. So become a doctor or a nurse or an affordable lawyer! Or, if you don't want to put the effort in to become one of those, but it is still important to you that there be more of them, support a sibling or niece/nephew to become one. We developers make a lot of money - set up a scholarship or at least offer to pay for books for someone else who needs the help to become a doctor/nurse/lawyer.

not enough engagement. If I reach out to students and engage in conversations with them regularly, they have a higher chance of following through. I start high up in the funnel, to pay utmost attention to students who are at the end (JS6). Then when I have free time, I go down the funnel and pull students up. As I polish the end, I get more and more time to engage with students lower in the funnel. I just reach out and say hi, ask them why they are learning and if they have any questions and concerns.

That sounds great, the way you are doing it. I think companies end up gamifying the product approach,to generate feelings that are similar to what happens when you engage one on one (from a neuroscience perspective)
