About Scrimba Guide

Scrimba Guide is an independent resource run by Yassine El Haddad — a senior developer who uses Scrimba the same way learners do: in the browser, project by project.

You can verify who I am on LinkedIn and GitHub. I built this site because most “best coding platform” roundups are written by people who never finished a structured path.

Our review process​

I do not rely on marketing pages alone.

  • Hands-on verification: I have completed 40+ Scrimba courses and all four career paths (frontend, fullstack, backend, AI engineer) to judge pacing, projects, and where the catalog is strong or thin.
  • Code-first lens: Platforms are judged on how much you type and ship, not how polished the trailers look.
  • Independence: I am not an employee of Scrimba. This site may earn affiliate commissions; that does not change which free resources I recommend.

Why focus on Scrimba?​

Scrimba’s scrim format — pause the lesson, edit the instructor’s code in the same window, run it — keeps you active instead of passively watching. For web development and AI app topics in JavaScript/TypeScript and Python, that mechanic is the main reason I keep comparing other platforms back to Scrimba.

Editorial standards​

  • Updates: Pricing, discounts, and course counts are reviewed on a regular cadence; pages show a last reviewed note where it matters for decisions.
  • Corrections: If something is wrong or outdated, email [email protected] and I will fix it with a dated note when appropriate.
  • Affiliates: Some links are affiliate links (Scrimba and others). They may pay a commission at no extra cost to you. I still link prominently to free options (e.g. freeCodeCamp, The Odin Project) when they fit your goal.
