Learning coding can be quite a laborious task for most students. Sometimes students struggle to understand certain concepts at school and fall behind in class. In addition, the lack of proper coding tutorials on the internet can also be quite a nuisance. Kodezi is a fantastic peer-to-peer learning platform that brings a practical solution for all such students struggling to learn to program. Students run this online learning platform to make the coding process easier for struggling fellow students. This is an excellent approach since it is easier to relate to and understand concepts propounded by people your age.
Several universities offer coding courses, but such courses tend to put more emphasis on theory. Kodezi is one such platform that teaches the students all the efficient coding techniques applied practically. In addition, a large number of coding tutorials can be found on this website that students can watch and learn from, especially if they are struggling to grasp their teacher’s concepts.
History of Kodezi
Kodezi is a remarkable coding learning platform that was found by Ishraq Khan, a 15-year-old high-school student, in March 2019. The intelligent founder came up with this brilliant idea when he realized the lack of proper tutorials on the internet that taught students coding effectively. Moreover, he realized that most of the coding tutorials were not free, and the ones that were free on Youtube were merely lengthy videos created by teachers with whom the audience could not relate. This gave Ishraq Khan the idea of creating a website named TeachMeCode, which he later introduced at his school.
This idea instantly blew up since students finally found an effective platform that understood their concerns better than their coding teachers because it was being run by students who had faced similar problems during their time. A lot of students began to utilize the website for its free coding tutorials, while the rest of the students contributed by sharing their expertise and tips and tricks to learn practical coding.
What does Kodezi stand for?

One thing is pretty evident that Kodezi is a highly competitive and ambitious platform. One of the core purposes of this website is to make coding and programming a fun and easy process for all the students struggling out there. This platform aims to empathize with the students and understand their problem areas and concerns. Moreover, Kodezi is a selfless platform that hopes to achieve excellence more than popularity or success.
Such tutorials are uploaded on this platform that explains coding and programming conceptually rather than merely focusing on bookish methods; Kodezi wants its students to truly learn the process of coding instead of memorizing it for an exam. Thus, the practical coding application is the top motive of this website.
What proves the credibility of the Kodezi team?
Many students may doubt the credibility of the tutorials uploaded on Kodezi if they are new to the platform. They may assume that the website is unmonitored and the content uploaded is not verified; however, that is not the case. Whether it is the Backend team or the team of executives, everyone participates in weekly meetings to ensure quality control, website updates, etc. Communication is the top priority of all the teams working for Kodezi. Team discussions are conducted where team members introduce new ideas and discuss updates.
What makes Kodezi the best coding learning platform?
What truly makes Kodezi better than the coding course taught at your university? The difference lies in the teaching method and overall approach of this platform. Most paid tutorials are conducted by coding and programming teachers. This means that such a coding class will not differ much from a student’s course at their university. The overall environment, teaching method, and bookish knowledge would be pretty much the same. The root of the problem is the tedious old method used by university professors to teach coding. They fail to realize that coding needs to be broken down for new students and taught in a more engaging manner.
Kodezi is such a platform that truly understands the struggles of students learning to code. Since it is a platform run by students like yourself, you feel at ease. When a student teaches another student, they don’t take the same approach like that of the teacher. It is because they instantly remember all the things and concepts they struggled with when they were new to coding. A teacher may only think from their perspective, while a student can see both ways. This two-way communication allows all the new students to grasp the concepts quickly and make the entire process fun and pleasant.
Kodezi’s future goals
One of the main goals Kodezi is moving towards is becoming the best coding learning platform on the internet. Currently, the platform is getting upgraded to reach more and more students across the world and it is expected for the new and improved website to be up and running by August 20th, 2021. Work is being done to rebrand the website along with the management team. The main upgrade feature which Kodezi has been working on is the two-way communication between users and Kodezi teachers.
With this new feature, users will be able to ask a coding-related query and receive a great response from a Kodezi tutor instantly. This feature is somewhat similar to StackOverflow but instead of waiting for a response from the tutor for 24 hours, users will receive a reply from one of the Kodezi teachers instantly. This is a remarkable brand new idea to benefit the users. Unlike StackOverflow, users do not have to wait for the tutor to respond because experts on Kodezi will use the question feature to debug any problem instantly. In addition, the founder of the company has already received a buyout investment offer from a Fortune 500 company for just their open source site feature and is hoping for more investments.
