Hey folks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrei and Mircea here. AlgoCademy has been running steadily now for 2 years, and we recently celebrated our birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launch, we\u2019ve been working hard to make AlgoCademy better than ever, making it one of the best and most reliable ways to learn to code, and to supercharge your path to becoming not only a great programmer, but also a well-paid one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here\u2019s a quick look at everything we\u2019ve been working on over the last 12 months or so; if you\u2019ve not logged into AlgoCademy recently, you might be surprised by how much we\u2019ve improved – and added!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Improved UI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the first changes we made was to the design of the platform. We heard users were struggling when navigating lessons and following tutorials, so we\u2019ve made big improvements in the way lessons are laid out and how usable the platform is as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Old Version<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Version<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, following the lesson is much easier, and there\u2019s more focus on leading you through each lesson. All in all, new and returning AlgoCademy students should find it easier than ever to learn to code!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Better Lessons, and More of Them!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When\u2019s the last time you logged into AlgoCademy? New user, perhaps? In the last year, we\u2019ve added dozens of new, high-quality lessons to our curriculum, boosting your learning plan from 120 lessons to more than 180!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s nearly 200 lessons of rich, premium education, all designed to help you learn to program efficiently, and get you into a well-paying coding career!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Streamlined Curriculum, With Progression Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In line with our other changes to lessons and the UI, we\u2019ve also changed our curriculum layout, making it simple to follow, so you always know what the next step is. No more wondering which lesson\u2019s next; we\u2019ll tell you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Old Curriculum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Curriculum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of jumping around from section to section, you\u2019re now led through an organized series of lessons, building a strong foundation, before proceeding onto more complex topics and tutorials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can always choose which lessons you\u2019d prefer to do, even if they\u2019re out of order – but if you\u2019re looking to be led from the basics through to veteran coding experience, we have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New Hints Systems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not every lesson will be easy, and where some you might breeze through, others will leave you stumped. It\u2019s precisely why we\u2019ve implemented a Hints system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t give you all the answers, but provokes serious thought, getting your brain working in just the right way to learn the solution and make you a better coder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll discover hints embedded within lessons, at the coding tutorial level<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll discover more hints upon approach, to help you move forward<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll receive feedback when the code has errors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve already found frustrated coders enjoying this new system much more, and watch as they breeze through lessons that held them back before! If you stopped learning with AlgoCademy because of previous roadblocks, try diving back in; the Hints system might be just what you\u2019ve been waiting for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Improved Support, with Discussion Boards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In line with the new Hints system and overhauled lesson design, comes the new Discussion feature. If the hints aren\u2019t helping, try scrolling down to the Discussion area, where you\u2019ll find other students asking questions you might have, and answers from peers and AlgoCademy staff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those are just some of the biggest features we\u2019ve been working on recently. There\u2019s plenty of other features we\u2019ve been improving, like a better homepage, login experience, and more. Summarizing, there\u2019s not much<\/em> we haven\u2019t improved in the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Whether you\u2019re deciding if AlgoCademy is the platform for you, or if you\u2019ve been away a while, try hopping into AlgoCademy today; it\u2019s better than ever, and improving all the time! And if you have any suggestions or comments that you think might improve our platform even further, be sure to email us at team@algocademy.com<\/a> and let us know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
