Without university credentials, companies are less likely to higher you. As mentioned before more likely to fire you.

Sololearn will only give you the basics. You would need MUCH more than Sololearn, to complete with a university curriculum.

@Богуслав You need to learn full stack development Search www.stackexchange.com youtube for what web developers do. I recommend completing this course: https://code.sololearn.com/W7cKz5yfd9dd/#

Yeah I believe It is possible to gain the knowledge without UNI. Without a UNI, it will be difficult, you need to teach yourself, make projects. Make connections. Prove you are truly skilled,. Learn the business. Maybe be good enough to start your own company.

@Богуслав Alright, If you are serious, getting the basic from the SL web courses is a start as well as C# and Java(Back-end). You need to make sure your knowledge and experience with Javascript are great. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/790206/javascript-resources

It's definitely suitable as a basis, but within Uni you learn so much more than just the programming. You learn good practices and can go and get feedback, you have the opportunity to dip into other aspects of 'Computer Science' and have focused projects you can work on while meeting like- minded people, Uni is also very time constrained so you will have deadlines which are an incentive to stay focused etc etc All in all, there are many more opportunities down the Uni route as compared to just using this app. Good Luck with learning though, no matter what you choose.

I seem to have raised the question incorrectly. Home education or Uni?

I completely agree that SoloLearn is not enough but I think it is quite possible to study programming at home

Ok this too vague. What profession or role are you planning to get? What is your goal?

University.Sololearn just teaches you the basics and lets you hone your skills by being exposed to a lot.But there are still things that you learn in uni that are harder to learn on your own

if your purpose is just to gain knowledge and improve coding skills.. then home education is ok.. but trust me if you want secured job in MNC then degree is required..

It really depends on why you want to learn programming in the first place.For fun,home is ok since all you really need is time and will.But if you want a career out of it,then Uni is better in terms of qualifications
