How to come out of Tutorial hell and win hackathons? ✨🧿 Learning from YouTube tutorials can put you in tutorial hell, where you never feel confident enough to build something on your own. ❌ Why rely on videos when there are free platforms like Codédex that help you learn trending skills in a more interactive way? 1. They offer a list of trending skills like generative AI, JavaScript, Python, and more, so you can learn, practice, and build. 2. They provide amazing guides and built-in IDEs for self-practice, helping you create impressive projects for hackathons. 3. There's an awesome community of 200,000+ technologists so that you can make friends while learning to code!  Here's the link: https://lnkd.in/gXbH-pgs (Open through your PC)

I Started Day 2 of My #30NitesOfCode with Codédex, and Here’s What Happened! 😱 I dove into some exciting Python projects, including: ✅ Writing a letter to my future self. ✅ Calculating Body Mass Index (BMI). ✅ Applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the hypotenuse. ✅ Developing a currency program to convert values using current exchange rates. I earned my Memory and Earth badges, and it feels great to see my progress! Curious about how I tackled these challenges? 👇🏾 Check out my latest Substack article here https://lnkd.in/eqdXSuTc 👇🏾 Want to see it in action ? Do not miss the Day 2 recap video here https://lnkd.in/eAJu3aQG I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Let’s connect and share our coding journeys! #Newsletter #CodeQuest #30NitesOfCode #CodingJourney #TechCommunity #Substack

We won a GitHub Award at #GitHubUniverse yesterday!! 🏆 As a small startup, this means the world (wait – we mean universe) to us. Big thank you to GitHub for this recognition. 🥹

Meet Sonny Li, Founder & Chief Vibes Officer at Codédex, and a Transcend Fellow (TF11)! Sonny began his career as an educator, teaching programming at Columbia University, New York University, and Lehman College in NYC. He later went on to work as a curriculum developer and manager at Codecademy for five years and was a founding fellow with On Deck (ODF) before starting his journey as a founder. Currently, Sonny is building Codédex: the most fun way for Gen Z to learn tech skills! The platform offers courses in Python, HTML/CSS, JS, React, SQL, AI, Git & GitHub, and Command Line, and encourages learners to practice with projects alongside a vibrant coding community. The platform has been trusted by learners from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Deloitte, Uber Eats, Spotify, CSforALL, and SpaceX! Codédex not only teaches programming skills but also makes the learning process enjoyable. Users get to engage in real-world projects, from generating AI images to hacking a smart fridge, with a catalog created by educators and engineers globally! On top of a thriving platform, Sonny and his team have built a unique community where learners get to discuss tech, seek help, make friends, and network with their peers. They are passionate about the work they do and facilitate some of the best hackathons for their students. They also run a podcast called 'Boba Talk’ where they discuss coding and all things tech. With a deep-rooted passion for teaching and education, Sonny is transforming the way Gen Z students learn to code. We are super proud to have Sonny as a Transcend Fellow and thrilled about the future Codédex is building! 🙌 Learn more about Sonny's work here: ➡ Codédex

Codédex will hack its way into your heart.... Because it might just be the cutest site for learning to code. What is different about this site is that it’s more community based, and has high prioritization on making your learning fun and engaging. Their interface feels like a video game like Stardew, and you’ll be joining a community of 200k+ with in person meetups and hackathons! Codédex cares about its community. They have a Town Square, OPC, and Discord where they host events! Codédex https://lnkd.in/e7j8pTng

🚀 Excited to share my latest project, Project STAY🚀 For the last month, I was working on a website that provides information about the members of Stray Kids and their discography to new fans. The main page includes member information and media thumbnails that allow you to watch performances (vocal/rap/dance). The albums page shows all the albums, singles, EPs that they've released. Users can filter the display based on the year it was released. Clicking on an album shows the entire set list and selecting on an individual song allows you to view the lyrics. The News section has quick news previews of different events/features/awards that Stray Kids have participated in or received. I've learned a lot while working on this project and I am so proud of the final outcome. I'd love to give a shout out to Codédex and the online community for the unconditional love and support they give me every day. Also, big shout out to Sarah Burger for providing me with so much feedback on the layout displays (the last image shows what my initial layout looked like on Day 1 before the suggestions). I hope to continue to build upon this project as I continue to develop my knowledge in order to help create a place where STAYs can stay connected to one another! :) Please check it out here: https://lnkd.in/exFP_y7C
