Here is a tip. Take a course in this app. Then when you learn a concept practice it. Then If you get confused. Google search the specific concept. If you are still stuck. Then come here and ask for a little assistance.

SoloLearn is a great app for gaining programming skills and building a base understanding. However, nobody will hire someone from just a SoloLearn certificate. There isn't a single app out there that can, you'll get a job from either a bachelor's degree in the field or a lot of experience building apps (try freelancing for a little while!)

Sololearn is the best platform to help you start coding. But to be job ready you ll need to be able to do small projects on your own. - build and Host a website or blog via github - build and publish an Android/ios app. - fiddle with multimedia stuffs like images, videos, docs. This should help you see the challenges involved with development. Next would be mastering a language. I recommended Javascript and try to do a lot things with JS everyday. For mastering we need a solid understanding of lot of concepts that are not covered in Sololearn.

For the backend, you can use any tools available on your server (which is essentially just a computer configured to respond to messages). This means that you can use any universal programming language: Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, JavaScript / Node, bash. This also means that you can use database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, Memcached. https://code.sololearn.com/WJoyx2M8nO0o/?ref=app

For c++ webframework see Drogon Drogon is an HTTP framework for creating server applications on C++ 14/17/20. Named after the dragon from the series "Game of Thrones". Supports non-blocking I/O, corutins, asynchronous database work (MySQL, PostgreSQL), ORM, WebSocket and much more. https://drogon.org/

Never, you can learn some basic and do some small projects on sololearn but if you want to do it professionally, you have to shift to IDEs like vs code, eclipse, vim etc..

I advice to also engage/participate in Other sources because I believe you can't be a better programmer using one source to learn, but honestly i was never gonna be where I am today if it wasn't for Sololearn, this is one of the best place to learn coding.

Ayato Sakamaki first learn basics from here. Do a few projects following instructions on YouTube or google. Then try greeksforgeeks.org You can also try to work on small projects on fiverr or upwork. Build a profile mentioning all your practice projects & projects done for a few clients. Then you will easyly land a job. Skill is key!

I'm pretty sure that no solo learn certificate is enough to get an job, but there is a catch ... Learning from solo learn and then using that knowledge to freelance might get you into a great university for a degree!

I can say that if I were hiring programmers and this was a candidate's only background, I would pass. Sololearn seems to be great at providing an overview of the syntax of a language but being a decent programmer is more about being familiar with various programming *patterns* and the pros and cons of each. And that comes best through experience. If you're at a loss what to do, try Project Euler, HackerRank or CodeWars and do the drills there for a while.
