Probably the best course for learning programming Throughout the course, my instructor was Md. Sadman Sakib, who taught us each and every detail about C++ programming. He was always there in our discord channel whenever we needed him. I feel lucky to be a part of this course.

I started CP about 6 months ago with the help of my seniors from our campus. They recommended me this course and I joined and it was one of the best diction. I learned much more about programming and how it also works.

I got my c++ class during the covid-19 pandemic. It was online and I didn’t get too much help on this. This course from dev skill helped me a lot to understand problems solving and mainly the idea of data structures and algorithms which i was struggling . Thanks to Sadman Sakib vaiya for guiding us though out the whole session.
