I’ll be perfectly upfront with everyone, I’ve tried to learn how to code now for about 3+ years. I’ve tried Udemy, Youtube, and a lot of other resources but I can’t seem to wrap my head around coding in general.

Last year I found a website called DesignCode.io I took some classes off this website to help me learn how to animate in Framer X and design in Sketch. The instructor Meng To has taught me a lot and I really like the way he teaches.

They offer a free trial period for new users, after that it comes to $9/month if you pay annually. To me it’s worth it, Meng offers so many different course from designing to creating your own video game!

He came out with React course for designers, which I learned a lot from. Last year he came out with a class for designers to learn React Native, for those who don’t know this language allows you to code once and it creates Android + iOS app.

React Native is what we used for my startup Chad.

I’ve been wanting to start his React Native class and when Meng sent me an email for his React Native class part two it motivated me to get started.
