  • Lots of useful and quality content

    The scrimba podcasts are a great resource to help budding developers to inform them about the industry and how people achieved their dreams in tech. It helped me a lot in navigating through my first job as a dev, learning about new tech and was a great motivator in my learning journey by listening to a variety of success stories. Hoping for scrimba to keep growing and introduce more courses!

  • Continuing to learn!

    I’m a recent graduate of Nashville Software School, making a transition into software development after 24 years as a pastor.

    The podcast has been a continual source of encouragement, and I recently signed up for Srimba Pro to continuing to develop my skills and build projects to add to my portfolio.

    Keep up the good work!
