CodeGym.cc Pros and Cons

I liked CodeGym.cc because it is a practical task-based learning platform. It not only suitable for newbies, but also for working professionals who want to upgrade and expand their skills. This is really a Gym which builds our programming muscles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Theoritical content may be somewhat large. Someone needs patience to go through the materials. But finally it works a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have very much enjoyed the weekly videos with guidance on specific coding points. I have found working through these to be very useful.

I also like the carefully thought-out exercises and the clear roadmap for progressive improvement in Java.

The exercises and the roadmap make this website an excellent resource for learning Java effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Java is a challenging programming language with lots to learn. The website does this effectively so no dislikes.

One area for future focus could be more project work. I particularly liked the way the course teaches how to build a Minesweeper application, Hungry Snake, 2048, Moonlander, Racer and Galabugs Invaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is plenty of things that first brought my interest to Codegym platform and later kept me dedicated to learn Java there. Tons of different exercises with the user friendly interface, great customer service or constantly developed and upgraded platform, are just some examples that should give credit to all the work that has been done there.

Nothing major comes to my mind. Introduced during my Codegym experience a system that allows a user to download a correct solution, successfully prevents the user from getting stuck in the exercise, what had happened to me sometimes in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The coding exercises are very well structured and stay inline with the theoretical part. The Theoretical portion doesn't overload you with information. The exercises are challenging enough to make you think but not too difficult where you can't finish them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I could not get the game development exercise to work with IntelliJ. I don't believe the user level matches the game design level accurately. You might actually need to be a higher level to finish certian game desigs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most valuable piece in codegym are the practical applications and exercises. Great work with the plugin, task validation and recommendations.

Very well structured lessons with examples and code entry.

Overall this is the best Java learning program that i have encountered and would recommend it to anybody that wants to learn or improve his/her programming skills.

I can not say i dislike something specific. In some cases the explanations are a bit difficult to understand but no worries, they are explained multiple times throughout the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The style of teaching. Usually, programming stuff in books is presented in an intricate way. Code gym makes this so much clearer. Exercises help so much to understand the subject. I like also how subjects are duplicated in time. Repeating stuff really helps to keep it in your head :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

40 min long movies of Elon Musk ;) At the beginning of every level there used to be motivational text and I really enjoy it but later it disappears. I would like to see it more often :) Sometimes i don't like it when the user has to search for information about the subject which wasn't meant. I mean for example Volatile keyword in some exercise. Of course, I understand as a developer we need to search for information but would be really nice if Codegym would give as some source :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codegym.cc gives you what most java tutorials don't... a rock solid foundation in the language that constantly reinforces skills and builds on what you have already learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After the fundamentals are learned, the structure of the tutorial gets a little more random. I would also like to see more actual projects to work on. I wish there was a learning platform that took the best parts of codegym.cc and hyperskill.org Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The content is embedded in a futurist story which makes you learning as if reading a sci-fiction book. They make the theory easy to digest along with original exercises. The platform is quite user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is limited support when you come across with content misunderstandings or coding doubts. I'd had to use platforms such as Stack overflow to clear up doubts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that codegym's style is the more you do, the more you understand. It takes a very practical approach to learning programming. Also it does not neglect the theory part which is also very important. But as they say in codegym during code copy tasks, sometimes you do not have to think, you just have to hammer away. I also like the codegym community as it comes out very helpful a lot of times because getting stuck is normal while coding but getting stuck for too long can be very discouraging but the community has been really helpful.

Sometimes task verification can be really hard to pass because you are not really sure what is needed as requirements may not be explicit enough.

The fact that codegym is yet to develop a mobile platform sometimes slows down learning as their web platform is not very mobile friendly. The web platform is awesome on my laptop and intelllij idea but when I'm away from my laptop and really need to use codegym, well, I don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that CodeGym is an interactive platform. Rather than simply reading content from an ebook, tutorial site, or watching a video course, it gives the user the ability to engage in the entire learning process.

- The course is formatted around a fictional dialogue story that is rather interesting to follow as one learns.

- The learner is guided through different lessons by different instructors with their own different modes of teaching something new, educative or motivational. So it's hardly boring or predictable.

- There are always tasks to help the learner brush up on their skills of what they've learned. And it actually feels like you're gaining serious coding skills and building upon concepts. Each task displays the results of how well one has faired in comparison with other learners who also attempted the task, so it makes it competitive and all the more worthwhile completing the tasks.

- The blog articles that encourage the learner on the prospects of the course they're on.

- The ability to comment, ask and discuss tasks with fellow learners and editorial community on the platform through sharing in the comments.

- As of this moment, it's free and giving learners the opportunity to pursue their dream of becoming Java programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would that CodeGym offers no certificates of completion.

Much as I understand that ultimately it's the skills that matter more in comparison with a certificate, it would still be nice to know that I have a certificate for completing my course study on CodeGym. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
