Membership Emails
Below is a sample of the emails you can expect to receive when signed up to Coding Games.
I introduced myself briefly last week. If you stick around, we’ll probably be in touch at some point since I take care of the whole CodinGame community.
Community?
Yup. You’re not alone.
Practicing programming skills?
Preparing for an interview?
Learning a new language?
Coding for fun?
A lot of other coders spend time on CodinGame and hang out in the chat, Discord or forum.
Did you know that most of our puzzles and games are created by the community? Pretty awesome, I know ????
This community is the heartbeat of the CodinGame platform.
We’re doing our best to give you the tools to shape the platform as you see fit!
See you soon on CG (as we call it ????)!

Hello!
How is it going so far?
If you’re completely new to programming, even simple puzzles will be challenging. I suggest learning the basics of programming first, like String manipulation, arrays, conditionals and loops.
I remember when I started on CodinGame (I wasn’t part of the team yet): I knew a bit of Java, but I had never solved a puzzle with code or played with the standard streams before.
Damn, it was hard!
So let me give you a couple of hints to help you get started ????
All the puzzles here work the same. You’re given a problem, and the skeleton of a program to solve it. The skeleton reads the inputs from the server and gives back a default (but incorrect) output.
Just modify the code and output the correct answer for every possible case.
Easy, right? ????
You might need some time to get accustomed to things here, but I’m sure you’ll be able to tackle harder problems soon.

Keep Practicing
Next week, I'll present you the CodinGame's community:

Welcome to CodinGame!
My name is Thibaud Jobert. I’m CodinGame’s Community Manager. I’m 29, French, and I live in Montpellier.
Before I give you a quick tour of the platform, I’d like to tell you a bit about our story.
It might resonate with your own story as a coder.
When I asked Fred (the CEO) how everything started, he told me that he was kind of a poor student. He had decided not to go to college because he didn’t want to wait 5 years to pursue his passion in software development.
And that failed… ????
Without a diploma, he couldn’t get a job, not even an internship.
So CodinGame was born. Fred felt a visceral need to find a solution to a feeling of injustice. He had the ambition to bring recruiting back to a meritocratic model: fair and based on skill.
At CodinGame, we all believe that being a good developer is a matter of passion, not a matter of education.
If, like Fred, you care about programming more than a diploma, you’re in the right place, and we’re here to help!
The best place to start is the home page, where you’ll get suggestions on which activity to do next.

CodinGame Developer Survey 2020
Here we go again!
Every year we send our International Developer Survey to our community of CodinGamers ?? Programmers from all over the world take time out of their day to share their experience.
Your answers will be immensely helpful to fellow developers, tech recruiters, tech students (and anybody else interested in what the developer role will look like in 2020). We want to shine light on the most recent trends in the programming profession.
The survey should take you between 10 and 15 minutes – and yes, there are GIFs ????
We’re on a mission to provide the world with the necessary bytes of knowledge to understand what it means to be a developer today. Will you share your experience?

Survey results January 2020
Hello,
At the end of last year, we requested the help of the community to get more insights on developers. We've finished analyzing over 20 000 survey answers, and we're ready to share the results with you.
We found out all sorts of interesting stuff, such as:
Close to 35% of developers consider themselves to be self-taught ????
1 in 3 developers code for more than an hour a day outside of work or school ????
The United Kingdom is home to the happiest developers in the world ????????
Cheers, Thibaud
