What does it take to become a successful programmer? Although technical knowledge is essential, the true test of a programmer is their ability to apply their talents to solve unique issues. Programmers must not only be familiar with theoretical concepts. They must also have hands-on experience. So, how and where do you actually start in building this experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer: At SkillReactor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SkillReactor is an online learning platform designed for coding enthusiasts. So far, it has helped hundreds of users build their coding skills through problem-based learning. To further its goal of making coding education more accessible and practical, SkillReactor is revamping its proprietary platform, SkillIntern, complete with new features to transform you into a job-ready software developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing SkillReactor\u2019s New Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new features on the SkillReactor platform help users dive deeper into programming while offering a stronger focus on job preparation. Below you will find some highlights of this innovative platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn More Programming Languages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SkillReactor introduces a more comprehensive curriculum that covers more in-demand technologies. From covering AWS Lambda, ReactJS, TypeScript, and AWS DynamoDB, SkillReactor adds two programming languages (JavaScript and Python) and two front end frameworks (Angular and Vue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did SkillReactor focus on these? A study by Statista shows JavaScript and Python are the top most used programming languages<\/a> among developers worldwide. In addition, Angular and Vue also ranked among the top most used web frameworks<\/a> globally. Put another way, proficiency in any of these languages and frameworks will improve your chances of getting hired in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Approach to Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before, SkillReactor approached learning by dividing larger projects into small tasks. This approach ensured developers understood how these smaller tasks make up the entire project. Moreover, it gave them a sense of direction in handling actual projects from start to finish. Although this method hinges on incremental learning, the new approach presents tasks in a more organized way, improving understanding among learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, full stack projects are broken down into milestones, which tackle one concept at a time. The milestones are then further broken down into smaller tasks, allowing users to build a stronger foundation in software development. Not just that, the projects you complete with SkillReactor are great additions to your portfolio and are tangible proof of your development skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Expanding Network of Hiring Partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

SkillReactor is actively expanding its list of partners, with the current count at 30. After completing the SkillReactor projects, developers get a one-on-one session with recruiters, connecting them directly with job opportunities. Of course, SkillReactor makes sure users are ready to impress, so it conducts mock screening and interviews to prepare them for their job interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these additions in place, SkillReactor ensures a well-rounded education for developers, from mastering technical skills to enhancing their job search skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How SkillReactor Works:  Reasons to Join the Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SkillReactor puts its users at its core. With the addition of its new features, here are more reasons to join SkillReactor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects Are Actual Reflections of Real Industry Challenges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Completing projects is essential for cementing your programming skills. The problem is that beginners may not know where to start. SkillReactor solves this problem by presenting users with software development projects that mimic real-world challenges and that they can complete from end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users select one technology each for backend and front end development during the onboarding process. They will then advance to build an entire project but with ample guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
