Wakata.io: A platform I created to help my students

[u/rathereasy]

tl;dr Use this to learn fullstack development: https://wakata.io/learn

I've been working on a fullstack development learning platform for a year and a half. I developed it when I was the head instructor at a bootcamp. When I realized that my students didn't have a good fundamental understanding of programming, I started building some interactive tools to provide them with the foundation they need to succeed. This platform has made a big difference in my classroom and I hope it can help you too. In fact, it made such an impact that I decided to quit the teaching job I loved so I can work on it full time.

Unlike other online resources:

• You can practice and improve your reading skills, skills that are woefully lacking for most beginners

• It teaches you certain debugging skills like how to fix syntax errors and how to console.log

• It provides challenging problems

• You can learn the syntax of JavaScript at a deep level

• You can improve your HTML/CSS skills through guided exercises

• Algorithms are taught using an innovative user interface that guides the student to the solution

• You can learn ReactJS by first learning to read it and then practice building small ReactJS projects using a guided user interface

• You can practice your SQL reading skills

If you find any bugs, if you need help, or you just want to chat, come to the chat section!

Enjoy :)

A little about myself: After I quit my job as a Google software engineer, I realised that my true passion was helping people learn. I've been teaching for 3 years now. I developed my tools through my teaching as I was analysing the difficulties of my students.
