Hey everyone! š
As someone who is passionate about learning programming, Iāve always believed that the best way to learn code is through hands-on practice. But letās be honestāsetting up coding environments can be a frustrating first step for beginners. They should focus more on learning, and choose the right language they wish to learn. Thatās exactly why I built Let Me Code, a free platform designed to make coding easy, practical, and accessible to everyone. Whether youāre just starting out or have some experience, this tool is here to simplify the process of learning and practicing programming.
Hereās a quick overview of what Let Me Code offers, and why I think itās going to be a game-changer for anyone learning to code.
What Is Let Me Code? š»
Let Me Code is a free, easy-to-use platform built for beginners and intermediate learners who want to actively engage with programming concepts without the hassle of setting up environments on their machines.
It offers:
- Quick lessons on various programming languages.
- Multiple-choice quizzes (5-15 questions) to help you check your understanding after each lesson.
- Coding challenges that allow you to practice what youāve learned right on the platformāno need to download or install anything!
At the moment, we support multiple languages like Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript, and SQL, and weāre working on adding even more coding challenges and features over time. š±
Why I Built This Platform šÆ
I built Let Me Code because I wanted to make learning programming a more active experience. In my opinion, watching long YouTube tutorials or reading dense articles can be passiveāyou might understand the concepts at the moment but forget them later. With Let Me Code, you learn by doing.
- Short lessons introduce you to programming concepts without overwhelming you.
- After each lesson, you can take a quiz to see how well youāve understood the material.
- Finally, you can immediately practice writing code right on the site. This hands-on approach helps you retain information and develop actual coding skills.
Thereās no need to spend time setting up a local environment or installing softwareājust open the site, learn, and code. š§āš»
What Makes Let Me Code Different? š
- Completely Free: There are no hidden costs or paywalls. Everything you need to start learning is available for free.
- Practice Built-In: Unlike many other platforms, we let you write and test code right in the browser. You can dive straight into coding without worrying about setup.
- Simple and Accessible: Itās designed to be easy for beginners. You donāt need to have advanced tech knowledge to use the platformājust start coding!
- Real-Time Assistance: Thereās an integrated assistant, powered by Gemini AI, that can help you with doubts as youāre working through lessons.
While Iām focused on building the best possible learning experience, I want to be upfrontāthe design is very basic right now. Iām constantly improving the platform's functionality, adding new coding challenges, and enhancing the lessons. Your feedback will help guide what gets built next.
Iāll be adding more coding challenges and expanding the lessons across different programming languages. Iām also planning to introduce features like:
- Tracking progress, so you can see how much youāve learned.
- More languages and lessons.
- Additional coding problems to deepen your hands-on experience.
The more feedback I get, the faster I can build out the features you want. So, Iād love to hear from you about what lessons, courses, or features youād like to see!
If youāre someone whoās looking to learn codingāor know someone who isāgive Let Me Code a try. Itās simple, straightforward, and best of all, itās free. Iād love to hear what you think and get your feedback on how I can make the platform better for you.
