Research and discovery

Surveyed 32 participants and interviewed 5 users

From research we learnt for self learners the biggest challenge was not the motivation to start but staying on track and continuing to learn.

Reasons behind this loss of motivation over time were:

  • Too many materials available online

  • Difficult language (tech jargon)

  • Not having peers to do code review

  • Difficulty finding all information in one place

  • Being stuck with a problem for a long time
