My experience with the Odin Project

What is The Odin Project

The Odin Project is an open-source online curriculum for learning web development. It helps students to learn the skills they need to get hired as a web developer. It also has its own community which helps students too.


Advantages

TOP have lots of advantages, some of them are:

  • You will be doing projects from the beginning, which will give you a better understand, better experience, and it will prevent you from falling into the Tutorial Hell

  • It's free! It won't cost you anything, you even can access content without signing up, but if you want to keep up your progress, you need to signup.

  • You don't need previous experience, you will start from zero, which is very helpful for newbies.

  • It has its own community, so you can connect with other students, so you can stay motivated and learn faster.

  • You will be able to land a job when finishing, you won't get a certificate, but your projects will be good to land a job.

Disadvantages

  • There was a disadvantage that really annoys me, which is repetition, sometimes they will assign a bunch of articles to read, you won't notice a big difference, it will just be re-reading the same information but on a different source.

My opinion

For me, The Odin Project is very good for beginners, it will give you a good experience, also interesting projects for your portfolio.
It worth a shot!
