If you could start Sololearn over, would you, and what would you do differently?

Answer 1

Personally, I don't think I would start over again. Although I don't think I took Sololearn seriously until points, badges, and code went up.

I like knowing that I started with a certain level of experience, and have stats that represent me as an individual.

Answer 2

I would have been more aggressive in challenges before they modified the XP gain system by adjusting minimal XP gain from 5 to 1. Also, I actually had SL installed on my phone far earlier than when I started taking it seriously. I would have began diving into the comm earlier.

Answer 3

nope.

other than my text to symbols code, which came out before the one someone else made one and got theirs popular. I could have been first. I'm still jealous about it. he even got it featured, meanwhile none of my codes were.

Answer 4

@Ahri It's never too late. Gimmie a link. *winks*

Answer 5

@Hatsy Rei
nah, his code is better. the time for it to be featured has passed. I'd rather some other code to be featured. My story generator seems like a good candidate.

Answer 6

Learn from mozilla developer network instead :/

Answer 7

ANSI C, ANSI C, ANSI C unbelievable they missed it.
Second: detailed explanation of structural and object-oriented programming principles, and maybe one or two more other approaches (eg. relational databases)

Answer 8

I would include more chat options and details of users so that if I find someone knowledgeable i could contact him/her easily 😄

Answer 9

I'd build it as an open source project, and encourage people who get good to contribute to coding new features. I'd also make it as easy as possible for anyone to give their suggestions for improvement. I'd include an overall tutorial that lets you have a general view of how development works, and what each language is used/good for, with basics of everything. This way anyone completely new to software development has a good starting point and they can understand why they learn everything they learn later, and decide which languages to learn.

Answer 10

oh woops, did op mean if we started the courses again??? - I wouldn't restart, although I regularly look back to lessons I've done before to remind myself of stuff.

Answer 11

I would not start over again.. if that would happen, I will prefer to start a free code school like freecodecamp. haha..

Answer 12

pretend I never saw the hint and unlock buttons☺

Answer 13
