Exercism Arvostelua 16

I'm a complete beginner and was using their online coding, didn't actively teach anything, hints were unhelpful, couldn't understand the results feedback. I feel the website could make it easier to get help and actually instruct and teach the learner how to do the code other than explaining and giving generic examples that have nothing to do with the actual coding task. Looking at other reviews as well and seeing how it's not stated that Exercism is not for beginner coders, that needs to be stated more clearly

not for begginers at all, but this is not stated in any part of the site. if you're just starting in programming, this is not for you, don't even waste your time setting up an account (as I did)

What a great site! I'm currently doing the C++ course and everything is explained in detail and really well explained! Congrats for this masterpiece.

Highly recommended! I have been doing engineering for the past 15 years, and I find Exercism a really nice way to pick up a new language in a couple of days and configure my local setup.

For a total beginner with non-english background not good.

It seems that the "guided" ones are horrible, should be guiding but to me it is just misleading. Should explain it more if they want to "guide".

Just remove those and keep everything else.

Exercism.io is an excellent resource for learning programming by solving interesting exercises and puzzles. You are welcome to ask someone else to look at your solution if you are not sure about it. The code reviews are completely free, thanks to the community that has been built around Exercism.

There are dozens of programming languages learning tracks on the platform. I've got my Elixir track done in 2023, touched the JavaScript track before, and just started the Haskell path.

This website is a fantastic resource for developers to learn new programming languages. With over 60 different language tracks, there's a good chance they've got you covered. The mentoring system is exceptional - getting reviews from real, experienced programmers is incredibly valuable, and yet is available for free! And the community is incredibly fun and welcoming.

I've used this website both to learn new languages for job purposes AND just for fun - it's so great I started mentoring to pay it forward. 😊

This site is an exemplary place to gain fluency in new languages for people who already know one. The design is beautiful; the workflow is very well designed; the community is without equal.

I've been using Exercism to practice programming languages since 2016. First I practiced Ruby, then Elixir, then I just started exploring new languages for fun.

I can't believe you can request a code review from a real experienced developer for free on this website. It's such a valuable feature for people new to programming. Everyone is nice on there too.

Exercism provides a very helpful way to build skills in one or more programming languages by providing a set of exercises that, unlike one or more other sites I can think of, are not mostly about math puzzles. They involve string handling, logical problem-solving, data classification and processing, and more.

I would be a less-skilled developer today if it were not for having solved Exercism exercises. Of great benefit has been the ability to see other people's solutions, because sometimes "I don't know what I don't know" until I see what other people know.

On top of all that, is the fact the Exercism community is welcoming, and I've made friends with some of the community members. Exercism has definitely added to my quality of life.

Great place to learn programming! Definitely recommend for anyone getting started into the programming field.

Perfect place to learn a new programming language.

As the maintainer of JavaScript and TypeScript tracks, I was happy to see that today the C++ track released its syllabus. It's been a LONG time since I wrote some C++. I had a lot of fun today...

Friendly contributors, amazing mentors, super community.

One-of-a-kind site. Many websites only support a few popular languages like Python and JavaScript, but Exercism supports over 65 languages. Each language has dedicated volunteer mentors for one-on-one training.

I learned so much from their material on so many different programming languages. The quality of the mentoring is priceless.

A fantastic place to learn a new language or to practice programming in general. The exercises are enjoyable, and the way you can get advice and mentoring from programmers experienced in the language is fantastically valuable.

Honestly it's incredible what you get from them for free! I decided to donate some money because I felt the service was something I would have to pay for if I was using a different website.
