  Once, I came across an advertisement for a programming course on smart devices organized by "Hacker" magazine. I am familiar with programming at an amateur level but thought this would be an interesting experience. I was a bit disappointed that the courses were held during the day in Moscow time, which for me was late at night. But no big deal, I’m used to learning from recordings. By the way, the recordings were uploaded promptly – the next day. Yes, the course is quite short – 6 lessons (there was also an introductory seminar, but I didn’t watch it). No, you won’t become a programmer in 6 lessons. But that’s not the goal of this course. The main goal is to introduce the listener to new tools and methods of interaction between them, to give a push towards further development. As someone who had never seen Python before, it was interesting for me to work on the assignments and get things working that I hadn’t known about a week earlier. The same goes for other tools: wokwi, shiftr, aimylogic… It was fascinating to organize the interaction between these services. If any difficulties arose, you could write in the Telegram chat and solve the problem together. The instructor was also available for help. There was no control over the completion of assignments, but that’s understandable: this is not a school. If you want to learn – go ahead, if not – that’s your choice. In general, the course was interesting for me. If Hacker launches an extended version, I will sign up!

  Dear Hacker.ru, I want to thank the team for creating this course. I look forward to a more advanced version. I would especially like to acknowledge the support team (in my case, Dafna), as well as the course creators and the instructor. Thank you.
