About this site

Scrimba Guide is an independent reader's guide to Scrimba (opens in a new tab), the interactive coding platform. It exists because Scrimba's catalog is sprawling (70-plus courses, four career paths, dozens of one-off projects, pricing that varies by region) and the official site is built to sell, not to help you decide.

Who writes this​

Two developers write here. Neither took the CS-degree route, and that is the whole point of view on this site.

Yassine El Haddad builds fullstack AI apps and started this site on the side. He learned to code at 42 Network, the peer-driven, project-based school. He reads Scrimba as an engineer who knows which skills hold up on the job, and as someone who still remembers what learning to code from scratch actually feels like. You can check who he is on LinkedIn and GitHub.

Ayoub El Haddad is a fullstack developer who spent over two years learning through peer-to-peer projects at 01Talent, and now studies low-level programming and AI at 42 Network while building web scrapers. He has used Scrimba himself. He covers the platform from the learner's side: what the format is actually like to sit with, and where it stops being enough. You can check who he is on LinkedIn and GitHub.

Neither of us is a Scrimba graduate or employee, and neither is paid by Scrimba to write any of this. See the disclosure below.

How the site stays honest​

  • Pricing. This site never quotes a Scrimba price. They vary by country, change without notice, and the official page (opens in a new tab) has the live number. Every reference points there.
  • Affiliate disclosure. Some outbound links are affiliate links, currently to Scrimba and to Udemy. If you buy through one, this site earns a commission at no extra cost to you. That does not change which free resources get recommended or which competitors get the nod when they fit better.
  • No fabricated quotes. If a testimonial does not link to a real person, a real Reddit thread, or a real review site, it does not appear here. Earlier versions of these pages used synthesized quotes; those have been removed.
  • Not affiliated. Scrimba Guide is independent. It is not operated by, or endorsed by, Scrimba.

Corrections​

If something here is wrong, outdated, or unclear, email [email protected]. The policy: a response within 48 hours, and a dated correction note on the page ("Updated YYYY-MM-DD: ...") so you can see what changed and when. Silent edits are not corrections.
