I know this don't replace a real programming studies, but, does SoloLearn has any real academic weigh?

Question

I mean, can you say "yeah, I know how to use (insert any SoloLearn program here)"?

Answer 1

@Honfu "mausgerutscht..."

Answer 2

The things you learn here stick to the basics.

You definitely need to build on that from other sources.

Edit: Funny that someone downvoted this. Don't like facts much?

Answer 3

To me Sololearn is a personal on ramp to the industry by way of social learning / networking.
With Sololearn I get to preview the world of a codeing from every facet through the experiences of coders around the globe.
Start reading the Q&A section I'm sure you'll find value there.

Answer 4

It does help a beginner grasp basics and it helps an intermediate programmer cement rough edges on his/her knowledge. Sometimes reading those big books on programming with almost a thousand pages makes your desire to learn coding wane esp because of some bloated chapters and not enough things to engage you. But this app makes coding easy, fun and engaging. Some schools recommend it to their students too...

Answer 5

Consider the following:

1. 3 years of continuous hard work on frameworks and techniques

2. A certificate from SoloLearn.

Who would you hire?

Answer 6

1/Run this code and look how Kuba Siekierzyńki manage his skills presentation in LinkedIn.
It's amazing, because he have much more to present than his SL certificates !

2/In Spain, I don't know if it have an academic weight, but in France, it can help if you have also a good portfolio of high level projects.

3/Europe 🇪🇺 voted also a new academic bridge for some MOOCs with at least 100h of work.

Ask me if you need a link to this last regulation.

Answer 7

SoloLearn is a very great source but shouldn't be the only one. Always have multiple sources as this will enhance your skills.

Answer 8

Solo is great for learning the basics. After that you'll have to read/learn from other sources. ☺

If you are a professional: Great community

Answer 11

Laurent Chretien Could you please link to the EU regulation that you mention?

Answer 12

Laurent Chretien which code are you referring to for the linkedIn skills presentation? Seems like maybe a link is missing, I'd be curious to check it out. :)

Also, interesting about that EU MOOC vote, I couldn't find any news about it online. Do you have any link to share on that as well?
