    What is Grasshopper?

    Learn to code for free on your phone, in as little as 5 minutes a day.

    So here's the deal: everybody can learn to code. The problem is that today's university-first approach is a bit old school, and frankly, out of touch. That's why Grasshopper offers a new kind of curriculum for the everyday coder. In particular, Grasshopper:

    * Fits in your pocket, and your lifestyle. You don't need a fancy laptop or a lecture hall to write code. You've already got a supercomputer in your pocket! So fire up your smartphone, and start coding during that commercial break, or your evening commute.
    * Focuses on doing, not just reading. The best way to learn to code is to actually write code. That's why Grasshopper goes straight to coding real stuff, not watching hours of videos or learning syntax. You're writing real JavaScript from the very first lesson.
    * Finds the approach that fits you best. One size doesn't fit all. Not when it comes to pants (even the stretchy ones), and definitely not when it comes to coding. So Grasshopper lets you explore different lessons, and provides just-in-time feedback to guide you along the way.

    What some of our students are saying:

    "Tasks were small and easy to do while chilling out or on a commute!" - Jane, 21

    "I like how Grasshopper helps you learn one step at a time. It's not overwhelming for someone who’s just starting to learn." - Ankit, 29

    "I enjoyed breaking it down into small building blocks, and being able to get satisfaction from building something early." - Claire

    This is probably good for someone with no / almost no background in programming. It is very linear (start with this basic concept and then add another) and doesn't offer much flexibility for those who might be looking ahead.
