Hi all, thanks for setting a cozy place up here for us on Product Hunt. :)
As Leo mentioned we focus not just on gaining language competency (we're fans of this too!) but BUILDING something REAL. A lot of our students spend hours on other code schools and come here for this purpose -- to have launched apps on their hands. Shoot us any feedback we'd love that!
These courses are great. I love the focused approach to learning.
For anyone interested I interviewed Leo about Code4Startup recently: http://makers.gumwall.com/2015/0...
@gilliantee what course would you recommend I try if I want to get into angular and meteor. I've been coding in ruby on rails for about a year but am still very new to JavaScript, Ajax, Jquery ect. Really want to learn the clientside/frontend tech.
Hi @afkehaya - for Meteor I'd recommend our starter Medium project that will teach you the basic concepts. We also have what we call coffee sessions (San Franciscans here ;) which are 5 minute short videos that can allow you to brush up on jquery and ajax. Hopefully that's helpful.
@josh_jia_chen Agreed! See link below from Leo and we'll be having more Stripe integrations in future projects. :)
@josh_jia_chen We've already had a project to teach student how to integrate Stripe and its APIs. This one is Code4Startup clone. Yes, we cloned ourselves :) Check it out: http://bit.ly/1NHZmSc
@_jacksmith haha. There are a few C4S clones already out there but we're proud of that :)
Hi everyone,
Code4Startup is a codeschool with new approach of how you learn to code. Other codeschools mainly rely on theory but here we focus on product or app that we teach students how to build like AirBnb, TaskRabbit, Medium, KichStarter... That we called POA - Product Oriented Approach.
This approach helps our students gain the confidence to build and launch their own web and mobile apps using languages like Python, Ruby on Rails and AngularJS you name it.
Love the idea, I think I tried an online example a while back to mimic the AirBnB model but I ended up dropping it after I got stuck with no way of getting support around it. I'll be trying this out.
Do you provide deployment guidance as well (as it pertains to the specific projects/technology stack?
@sarthakgrove We do have FREE course teaching you how to deploy app easily on Heroku with RoR so you can try at no cost. In our AirBnb, we don't provide that but the principle is the same and a lot of our students already have their final product LIVE! Yayyy!
@sarthakgrover The Medium course also shows how you can deploy an app on Meteor. It requires a PRO plan though.
I just signed up. I've been wanting to improve my coding skills and I think this seems like a great approach.
Fantastic product! Waiting his co - founder Leo Trieu back to Hanoi, Vietnam in March.
