CodinGame is a French startup that is trying to revolutionize how people hone their coding skills. By providing a wide range of activities in more than 20 programming languages, this company is making it easy to learn how to code. Yes, the activities are typically catered to those that already know the basics, but the opportunity to improve your skills in such a fun way is something coders around the world will absolutely love. CodinGame brings together a community of more than 700,000 developers in 175 countries, among which 30 percent of students in 12,000 schools spread over 175 countries. Much like actual games, these activities have a finite number of levels that get increasingly difficult as you complete them. In addition, there is a multiplayer mode that lets you compete with people around the world. And that, says Desmoulins, has no limit. With gamification becoming more popular than ever, CodinGame has tapped into a learning model that could churn out a new generation of skilled coders. The ability to code is integral to the future of technology, and spurring more young people to pick up the mantel with actual games is nothing short of genius. Plus, a little measurable competition can go a long way in creating a workforce that knows what they’re doing.
