Flipped Around

There are a lot of coding courses out there... some are even free. If you joined 4Geeks Academy, it’s because you are just like us. You truly believe that hard-to-learn skills like coding require much more than just online articles/videos or tutorials that make coding look extremely easy.

Coding is hard because it can only be learned by large amounts of practice, face-to-face mentoring, and real-life challenges.

So, we here at 4Geeks came up with this online platform. This content we have designed for you will guide you throughout our program. There will be many, many exercises and projects to come, and this course will focus on enabling you to become a better coder.

We will present you with one challenge after another, but a trusty senior developer will always be looking at your process to assist you and help you out. 4Geeks is the place to read, learn and practice code until you permanently affix everything into your brain.

But you don't want to read everything, right?

You basically want to learn everything about the beautiful art of coding, but you don’t want to read that much... Yeah, we get it. As a result, we have made a huge effort in summing our lessons up. Everything you’ll find here will be the basis of your skills. There is nothing to "skip over."

Your journey has already begun, and you should know that we are following every step of your learning. The Pre-Work is probably the most important phase to becoming a web developer, as it serves as a root to all of your skills in the future. Here you will understand the foundation of your skills, and you will learn to love coding like we do!

But what if you already know?

There are some of you who already have some coding experience (mostly with HTML and CSS), and some of you with no experience at all. That’s the main reason why this stage of the program is known as the Pre-Work. We need to assess the level of experience of each member of the program. The Pre-Work also enables us to get to know you, your learning process, and your learning curve better, allowing us to help guide you towards achieving the best possible results.

And this is all because we need to be sure that you have what it takes to complete the program. It’s going to be intense, and you will feel exhausted, but don’t fret on it. We have been doing this for a while and we feel you!

This course works, but you have to trust us

The human brain requires a lot of energy to make any decision, especially when lots of variables are taking part in the equation. This course will be hard because we are re-designing the way you make these decisions. You will have to think similar to the way computers think. Do not worry though, a time will come when everything you do will become an acquired behavior.

If you feel overwhelmed and confused, ask for help!! And, keep up the hard work – you will make it! All the lessons are cumulative – meaning every exercise will require you to use all the skills you have learned in the past.

Please Ask for Help!

Have you heard of Einstein? Really smart people are always the ones who ask more questions. They are not afraid of not knowing or making mistakes. The only way we can really help you is if you accept our mentorship by asking for help. To be able to do this, when you are stuck and have tried to solve a problem on your own for a few minutes, ask on our Slack channel #Public_Support, but first read these tips about How to ask programming questions?.

Coding Tools

When we started the academy, each student had the freedom to install their own set of coding tools and programs. However, we soon discovered that students waste too much time installing and setting up each program. They invested more time doing that than actually learning to program.

So instead of that approach, we have made a list of what programs you need. Some of them are mandatory to use/download during the program, while others are just optional. Don’t worry, you’ll be happy with us!!

We know some of you already have your own tools, but let’s keep that conversation for another time. For now, closely follow our suggestions and give us the opportunity to tell you how to go about it all.
