Sololearn is useless ?

Only providing just basic programming? They should improve their content?

@Aditya, Please enlist the things that you find unimportant on SoloLearn. What more do you want to see as an improvement?

Agreed. SoloLearn is a basic foundation course in programming for beginners. Definitely, you should not limit yourself to just the course material. There are other material too available online. BTW have you seen this thread- http://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/595802/?ref=app

The problem is that the certificates are basically useless because the lessons are way too easy, even for beginner level. Adding them in a LinkedIn account is not very credible and will probably repel job recruiters instead of attracting them. But that will change soon.

I try to remember how absolutely alien computers were to me the first time I saw one. It's easy to forget that apprehension, and how quickly it can turn into: "I'll never...I can't...I quit". That goes for adults too. From the movie Contact...small moves.

@Aditya Raj, Agree: SoloLearn is no perfect, improvements necessary, the developers and the community is doing something in this direction. Disagree: SoloLearn is useless, by saying SoloLearn you refer to more then the lessons, SoloLearn is App(platform) + Community, your replies signified your dissatisfaction of the lessons, which, is just a small part of SoloLearn entirely.

I disagree, what you expect for people to get advanced course without going through the basic/fundamentals? what becomes of new members, those who just started learning? nobody was born a runner, each started by crawling, walking, then when strong & prepared enough, run.

we all have complains about some courses we wish to see but are not here, but saying its useless is not a good approach to get your problem across. The Sl team have been making improvements on the requests sent and it is a gradual process. it didn't take a day to build the white house!!

A rather harsh assessment. I found Martin Taylors response an interesting one and I wish Kirk Schafer and all those labouring to provide new material every success. No doubt such contributions will only add to the benefit of the site. From a personal point of view I have found the site very helpful. Clearly a starting point but one which offers the learner encouragement and the opportunity to take part with a group who are also on a similar path. There is so much material available on the web these days I hope you find what you are looking for. I wish you every success in the future.
