Sololearn<\/a> is a mobile app that teaches you how to code computer languages from the convenience of your mobile device. \u00a0It offers an array of the most popular coding languages including HTML, CSS, Java Script and more. \u00a0Lessons are divided into bite-size microlearning components that allows you to finish a bit at a time in whatever free time you have. \u00a0Embedded exercises and quizzes allows you to immediately apply the knowledge. \u00a0It also taps into the social aspect of mobile and gamification by allowing you to challenge others, earn badges\/awards, and track your position on the leaderboard. \u00a0Having tried this app myself, I particularly enjoy reading the comments that are posted by fellow learners within each slide of the lessons. \u00a0I learn as much from them (many of whom are quite knowledgeable) as I do from the lesson itself. \u00a0I also love that people are willing to help others and no one puts anyone down for asking a question even if it may seem obvious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
