Team Coding Blocks has always believed in the philosophy of changing with the evolving times, and we continue to do so. This April, we complete four years of existence, and in all this time, we have tried, observed, learned, adapted and evolved many times. We took leaps of faith that turned out to be very obvious decisions in hindsight, while we also committed some minor mistakes in the name of experimentation.
Over this period of time, we have taught over 8500 students across batches of classroom and online courses, and seen them go on to attain great heights in their professional lives. Our single greatest reward is when our students acknowledge our contributions. We thank all our students for their unwavering support and constant motivation.
Soon to enter its fifth year of operation, Coding Blocks hopes to serve you with a new energy and a new enthusiasm. We aim to bring newer courses on the latest technologies, and newer ways to learn. As always, the developments will be gradual, but certainly positive. They will be based on our research, and more importantly, your feedback. Cheers!
