What do you think of the Sololearn app?

Question

IT education

Found this app in the play store. Reviews are positive. Should I start getting acquainted with the programming language with this application?

Answer 1

Should I start getting acquainted with the programming language with this application?

Definitely not worth it, it is better to find another way to learn. Reviews are written by ordinary people, not professionals - they have nothing to do there. The same Java on Sololearn, before even "Hello World!" taught to draw wrong. Now I don’t remember who, but this topic was also discussed on YouTube. If you need direct interactive courses - see

Coursera - https://www.coursera.org/

there are both in Russian and in English, a lot of courses and all useful :)

Udemy - https://www.udemy.com/

but there, with caution at your own peril and risk, courses are done by anyone, so choose popular ones and preferably at the maximum discount. And if in general - books and Google :) Better yet, take on a project and study as you go . Search everything on the Internet - everything you need is there, both in terms of training and a guide to your language.
Good luck in your endeavors :) If I could help with anything, mark it as a solution.

Answer 2

No, it's not worth it.

Answer 3

If programming is familiar, then the rules. Not from scratch. And that's just the basics. It's more like refreshing knowledge when you didn't really know.

Answer 4

1. Sololearn is not a program, but an online course platform.
2. Courses are always bad.

Answer 5

I will answer, although not relevant.
The application will not teach a beginner. You can pass by.
But it does a great job of helping programmers learn the syntax quickly. I myself jumped from php to python, now I'm learning c ++.
However, knowing the syntax does not automatically make you a programmer. For example, I study syntax in SoloLearn, and then I polish my knowledge with books. It so happened that the book contains more detailed knowledge up to the architecture of the language.
I learned PHP from Koterov's book -PHP 7 I
learned Python without books, apparently after php it was easier.
For c++ bought Staustrup's book - Second Edition

Answer 6

Are there any analogues of this program in Russian.
Where are clear lessons from scratch (for a beginner)
Syntax check.
In other words, you enter the code based on the studied material. There is nothing that has not been explained, but needs to be solved. No need to go to other sources (information). The code is checked inside the application.
In other words, an application that works from the phone, teaches the code, gives a sane task. And checks the correctness of how the person decided it? + in Russian???
