General FAQs

Who is Codeguage for?

Codeguage is for anyone who is new to programming or, if having some prior experience of programming, is struggling with grasping basic concepts and exercising them in building real, practical stuff.

How is Codeguage different from other platforms?

Most platforms feature state-of-the-art coding environments, AI-powered bells and whistles, interview preparation kits, and whatnot. However, most of them miss a very crucial area — exploring the fundamentals and making people better and better at them. This is what Codeguage aims to do.

Why doesn't Codeguage have an integrated development environment, or in other words, an online coding editor?

At Codeguage, unlike most sites teaching programming out there, you won't find a development environment/coding editor. The reason is very simple:

We as programmers anyways need to set up local development environments on our computers at the end of the day for professional work, so why not get used to it from the very beginning. Besides this, setting up the environments locally ain't as difficult and tedious as it is often referred to as.

Why has Codeguage moved to a subscription model?

If you've been a long-time user of Codeguage, you'll know that at first, I was offering everything for free here. Quizzes, exercises, question bundles — essentially everything — and funding the website based on advertisements. However, soon I realized that this wasn't going to be sustainable in the longer run as it wasn't paying me off. Plus, I also didn't like the idea of random ads showing up on my website.

Finally, I decided to shift to a subscription model, which is definitely more sustainable on my end, and equally not very difficult for an individual learner.

What free resources are still available on Codeguage?

While Codeguage is now a subscription-based website, still much content is available for free. This includes course chapters, the blog, glossary, and book reviews.

Feature FAQs

What's the 'integrated Pomodoro timer' feature and how to use it?

The integrated Pomodoro timer helps you time your learning sessions so that you stay focused and don't spend any more time on the computer screen than is desirable. Quick, short breaks in between your learning sessions allow you to give some rest to your eyes and increase productivity.

To try out the Pomodoro timer, you need to be a subscriber of at least the Commit tier.

What's the 'smart search' feature in courses?

The smart search feature allows you to search for chapters in courses using the names of given concepts. It leverages keywords that have been carefully drafted for every single chapter to help you quickly find what you're looking for.

What are 'pre-release courses' and how are they special?

As per the name, pre-release courses are courses released while they are still being developed, prior to the final release to the public. Only Conquer subscribers can access them.

What are 'pre-release projects'?

Pre-release projects are the same thing as pre-release courses, with the obvious difference that they are projects.
