HyperskillReviews of hyperskill.org

A great learning platform for developers who want to switch tracks or improve themselves, the courses includes theories, algorithms besides the usual syntax

Very easy to work with. Great content too.

Funny story, I initially wanted to buy a Codecademy subscription but when I googled "Is Codecademy worth it, the first link which was a Reddit article claimed that hyperskill was better". That's what led me to checking out hyperskill and ultimately getting an annual subscription. Hyperskill works well for me because I learn best by reading and that is how hyperskill teaches you all the theory. They teach you theoretical concepts in 5 to 20-minute segments (depending on the difficulty of the concept) and follow it up with a small quiz to verify that you understood what you just read. After doing enough segments it will challenge you to apply everything you just learned to solve one of the parts of a bigger project. The projects are not so hard that you will struggle on them forever but they are also not so easy that you will blow through them in a few minutes. Most projects will require you to do additional research online or look back into the material you just studied which I think is great. There are quite a few learning tracks to choose from. I have done Java Core and Java Backend with Spring. I'm also starting with the Kotlin and Python tracks. They encourage you to learn every day using their streak system which worked well for me. Even on my busiest days, I hop on to solve at least one question to keep my streak alive. This is something that isn't talked too much about but I also think it's great that they give their students an all-access subscription to all their IDE's. It's not the biggest deal in the world but it's nice to see them add that value. For a person like me, it makes it easier to justify paying the cost. === Now with all the good out of the way, I think there are some improvements they could make and that's why they only get 4 stars from me. Their mobile app already has a somewhat functional dark mode but their desktop website does not. I think they need to add that to the desktop ASAP. I also think they should add the ability to have multiple tracks selected at the same time or at least add a "favorite" feature so that a user can favorite tracks to allow quick/seamless swapping between tracks. With that being said they are always updating the platform and perhaps these features and under development as we speak. === Overall I think hyperskill is great. Real software engineers learn through reading documentation and implementing solutions. Hyperskill teaches you in the same way, through reading topics and implementing projects. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting a subscription. I myself will probably get another year once my current one is over.

I have a good basic refreshing my old programming skills and learned a basic object programming in Python.

I am learning Python and git but sometimes there are users who just send answers in comments and when you report them you can still click to view that comment so it just unfair thing you cannot stop someone from cheating but still great learning resource

Free some-month premium subscription for students.

Pros - Good integration with IDE - Good support via email - Good implementation - there are challenges you can use for discount Cons - the very/too general theory - Too expensive - Integration with only JetBrains products (of course ;)) - Integration with IDE has issues and does not support Safari - Sometimes, theory is not enough to solve practice - unuseful "gems"

First and foremost your service is beyond great. But as a 3rd world citizen, I have 2 points and suggestions to give; 1-) I think you could give projects for free aswell but like with a very slower pace. For example 1 project quota/week etc. That way people without financial means to afford premium could also slowly build their portfolio and use the knowledge they learn in real practice. 2-) Pricing differentiation. For example I enjoyed your service so much that I wanted to buy a premium subscription but I reaw price is fixed and it is at 48€ (or sth around). This is the equivalent of 1200€ of a EU or US citizen, due to Turkey's low currency rate. So practically it is not viable for people from lets say not so wealthy. In contrast I assume you could profit from volume with a region specified pricing. Imagine all users who would join from Middle East, China, and so on. Ofc I did not made the math on that, so as a statistician I also feel some of your concerns on that matters but those are my mere suggestions. Thanks for the good collected service of data. You make the way so easier and clearer for ADHDers that do not know which path to follow aswell.
