Let Me Code: A Free, Hands-On Way to Learn Coding Without the Setup Hassle 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋

As someone who is passionate about learning programming, I’ve always believed that the best way to learn code is through hands-on practice. But let’s be honest—setting up coding environments can be a frustrating first step for beginners. They should focus more on learning, and choose the right language they wish to learn. That’s exactly why I built Let Me Code, a free platform designed to make coding easy, practical, and accessible to everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or have some experience, this tool is here to simplify the process of learning and practicing programming.

Here’s a quick overview of what Let Me Code offers, and why I think it’s going to be a game-changer for anyone learning to code.

What Is Let Me Code? 💻
Let Me Code is a free, easy-to-use platform built for beginners and intermediate learners who want to actively engage with programming concepts without the hassle of setting up environments on their machines.

It offers:

  • Quick lessons on various programming languages.

Courses

Lessons

  • Multiple-choice quizzes (5-15 questions) to help you check your understanding after each lesson.

MCQ Quiz

  • Coding challenges that allow you to practice what you’ve learned right on the platform—no need to download or install anything!

Practice problems

Coding Problems

SQL Problems

At the moment, we support multiple languages like Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript, and SQL, and we’re working on adding even more coding challenges and features over time. 🌱

Why I Built This Platform 🎯
I built Let Me Code because I wanted to make learning programming a more active experience. In my opinion, watching long YouTube tutorials or reading dense articles can be passive—you might understand the concepts at the moment but forget them later. With Let Me Code, you learn by doing.

  • Short lessons introduce you to programming concepts without overwhelming you.
  • After each lesson, you can take a quiz to see how well you’ve understood the material.
  • Finally, you can immediately practice writing code right on the site. This hands-on approach helps you retain information and develop actual coding skills.

There’s no need to spend time setting up a local environment or installing software—just open the site, learn, and code. 🧑‍💻

What Makes Let Me Code Different? 🚀

  1. Completely Free: There are no hidden costs or paywalls. Everything you need to start learning is available for free.
  2. Practice Built-In: Unlike many other platforms, we let you write and test code right in the browser. You can dive straight into coding without worrying about setup.
  3. Simple and Accessible: It’s designed to be easy for beginners. You don’t need to have advanced tech knowledge to use the platform—just start coding!
  4. Real-Time Assistance: There’s an integrated assistant, powered by Gemini AI, that can help you with doubts as you’re working through lessons.

While I’m focused on building the best possible learning experience, I want to be upfront—the design is very basic right now. I’m constantly improving the platform's functionality, adding new coding challenges, and enhancing the lessons. Your feedback will help guide what gets built next.

I’ll be adding more coding challenges and expanding the lessons across different programming languages. I’m also planning to introduce features like:

  • Tracking progress, so you can see how much you’ve learned.
  • More languages and lessons.
  • Additional coding problems to deepen your hands-on experience.

The more feedback I get, the faster I can build out the features you want. So, I’d love to hear from you about what lessons, courses, or features you’d like to see!

If you’re someone who’s looking to learn coding—or know someone who is—give Let Me Code a try. It’s simple, straightforward, and best of all, it’s free. I’d love to hear what you think and get your feedback on how I can make the platform better for you.

If you try it out, let me know:

  • What’s working well for you?
  • Are there any lessons or features you’d like to see added?
  • How can I improve the overall experience?

Your feedback will be a huge help in shaping Let Me Code into the best possible resource for learners.

Learning to code can be challenging, but with the right tools, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. My goal with Let Me Code is to make programming fun, interactive, and practical for everyone. You don’t need fancy setups or expensive courses—just a desire to learn and a willingness to practice.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, head over to Let Me Code and start learning today. I can’t wait to hear what you think! 😊
