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.

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.

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.
