Hello! I’m Brittany Choi. A little bit about me: I was an English teacher, but I recently transitioned to Technical and Content Writing. I started learning how to code on Replit to gain technical skills and to learn something new.
My first lines of code:
I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 helpful resources for beginner coders or new Replit users. I’ve selected a variety of different types of resources for learners of all different styles because everyone learns and processes differently!
Resource List
- Video: Getting Started with Replit
Check this out if: You’ve never used Replit before and want to become familiar with how to use it.
First off, visit the Learn page on Replit. Click on the Replit Tutorial for a quick 3-minute video on how to navigate and get started with Replit. The video also shows you how to make your first repl and how to invite collaborators.
Check this out if: You’ve never coded in Python before and want to learn the basics.
I used this video for my first day of learning how to code Python because I wanted to start with a programming language that is more friendly for beginners. Maya explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. You can follow along by practicing on Replit to apply the concepts in the video.
- Replit Teaching Curriculum
Check this out if: You want to follow along lessons on your own.
The Teaching Curriculum on Replit’s site is a helpful tool. You can access complete lessons in the form of Google slides, and explanations in lesson plans and videos, all created by a Computer Science educator. It makes you feel like you are enrolled in class learning through examples and exercises you can try for yourself.
