Success Stories

I've decided to write about what I really missed when I first began my studies on Java programming, namely, what needs to be studied and in what order. From the very first levels of the course, you can begin a parallel study of database management systems...

After reading about what had to be done, I decided to make a plan for how I should study in order to achieve my goal and finish the courses, because I didn't have time for studying at a leisurely pace. My objective was to learn quickly...

Hello, everyone. I decided to share my success story. I've been mulling with the idea for quite some time, but I couldn't bring my fingers to the keyboard. When I did, I wanted to produce something unique. As a result, I postponed the effort, but now I'm going to tell you plainly what happened, without any concepts...

The story of how one athlete moved into a career in IT. May it become the inspiration for your further learning and maybe one day you’ll want to share your own story with us :)

If you have ever travelled by plane, there is a pretty good chance that somewhere in the background the business processes that made your journey possible were supported or enabled by some system running a program written in Java...

Hello, everyone! Let me share a few words about how I decided to enter the IT field. In doing so, I hope to boost the motivation and self-confidence of anyone contemplating or already trying to walk this path. I have to say that each individual must make a firm personal decision as to whether this is a good fit...

When everyone in my grade planned to become a programmer, succumbing to my romantic ideas about the medical profession, I decided to become a doctor. The fact that my family couldn't afford a computer back in 2001 played a non-trivial role in the decision. Computer science lessons were clearly not enough...

CodeGym is 2.5 years old by now, with almost half a million users from around the world. Many students have finished the course and found...

My first job's probation period ended 3 years ago, but only now did I find time to write an article. I spent a year in different departments at my university: in my first semester, I studied management, and in my second semester, I switched to software engineering. I hoped they would teach me how to program...
