I signed up for the coding 101 course to get myself ready for the FSWD, Data Science & Applied AI course. This course was a nice eye opener into the world of coding. The literature was easy to understand, the work was challenging and fun.

Coding 101 gives you a clear overview of all the basics you need to know being new in the programming stuff, it included nice exercises, explanatory videos and good assignments divided among 5 days (or if you want, you can complete it in less than that). I've learned really valuable concepts that I've heard before but I did not their meaning or application. Also, I've received feedback everyday from my assignments, it made me feel listened and motivated to complete the course. I highly recommend it!

I feel happy and encouraged for having solved the 10th level algorithm and for having been reminded of the counting algorithm. I have gained some general overview of the web development's background. I think days 3 and 5 may contain a little more information in relation to learning the trade. Cheers

Coding 101 is a fun little course that teaches you the very basics of programming. You will learn about binary numbers, loops, conditions, and try to use them in a maze solving game. This has got me wanting to learn more programming. Everyone should do it, it's free!

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 coding exercises. I had a great time solving the maze exercise and will continue to take more free coding courses because of this.

This is a short and sweet intro to coding course and it's free. Everyday it will teach you a new concept and ask you to complete assignments. It also serves as a preview of their platform and paid programs. It was an eye opening experience for someone who has zero idea about coding. Definitely recommend.
Student 2018
I really like the little course for people who have little to or no experience with coding. It's a great gateway to learn a little bit of coding and how it can open up to more job opportunities because a lot of things are already done by computer. This was a great exposure of what is coding and such.
