Did you know that Patika.dev is the largest community of software developers in Turkey and every day an average thousand people learn software on app.pathika.dev? We are proud to be the largest in Turkey with more than 130,000 programmers and software candidates learning with us for free on our e-learning platform, which grows 10% every month!
Patika.dev e-learning platform In March 2021, it was announced together with the foundation of Patika.dev to solve the problem of software shortage in Turkey. Its goal is to offer content on the most demanded technologies in Turkey and in the world to everyone who wants to start software by providing quality resources in Turkish and in the world. These contents allow users to start from scratch to complete the basics necessary to get into their first job without getting lost in resources, following a path drawn in front of them. Among them, Oktay Çağlar, one of the founders of Udemy, our individual investors who are the founders of many start-ups around the world, and the largest ed-tech investor in Europe Brighteye VCWith the investment we received from it, we offer this platform to the whole of Turkey for free.
App.pathway.dev has 24 career paths, 62 courses under these 24 paths and a total of 996 hours of content and projects. From Java, PHP, .Net Core, Python, Node.js backend languages to frontend; from iOS Swift and React Native mobile application languages to test automation; from Data Science content to Data Analysis.
App.pathika.dev was very popular from the moment it was founded and the number of registered and active learners continued to increase from the first month of its establishment to the platform.
At the very beginning of the reasons why this platform has attracted so much attention are the following:
The contents were created with experienced Turkish programmers and international partners, supported not only by theoretical but also by exercises and projects to solve the Turkish source problem and cover everyone who wants to start software. Content can be voted by users and comments can be left. Here are the scores of the trails:
Gamifications have been added to the trails for those studying to continue learning. Leaderboardbecame a screen that was most followed by the participants and created a pleasant competition between them every week. The top three who earn the most points by continuing the trainings each week are placed in the progress score table with their avatar, while the names and scores of the top 20 are processed into the table.
Community score if the other gamification on the leaderboard. Community score The more people connect with others learning on the platform, the more they keep their own profile alive the more points they accumulate. When they invite friends, thank a user, rate a user's project, like comments, or fill out their profile, earn community points and take their place in the weekly changing en's chart. Here, too, the goal is to enable learners to interact with and support each other, and to make learning fun.
One of the biggest reasons why learning continues in App.Patika.dev is undoubtedly the feeling of belonging, learning with the community, feeling that they are not alone and that users can easily reach support where they are needed. Community support Discord actively continues in the channels opened for each trail on it. The increase in the number of Discorda members and the number of messages sent is also an indication that the culture of asking questions and helping each other has evolved.
In order for them to feel the community more, physical meetups allow the community to get to know each other personally and promote the culture of co-production.
Since March 2021, Patika.dev has conducted recruitment and training programs with more than 100 companies in Turkey. We continue to grow by adding new ones to our national and international company agreements every month. We are the first to announce these collaborations within our own community and email relevant trails specifically for them to apply. In this way, we ensure that they are aware of the opportunities. In addition, we take participants who regularly walk the trails into a bootcamp acceleration program to support them in their scold for these programs, supporting both technical and interview processes for programs with companies.
47% of participants who participate in the acceleration program are eligible to enter our company programs!
Here are the breakdowns of those who shared their information with us from more than 130,000 participants on App.Patika.dev:
87% of the population is between 20 and 30 years old
Users are spread across 81 provinces in Turkey. Most users live in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa and Kocaeli. The top 10 cities with the most users are as above.
~ 83% of users are studying or have graduated from college, while 7.5% are studying or graduating with a master's degree.
Since App.pathika.dev was founded, the courses in the trails have been completed nearly three million times! That means more than 1.8 million hours of lectures have been spent.
We will continue to bring together young people looking for jobs in technology and companies looking to reach talent. We are aware that the problem is due to the fact that the expectation of the market is not the same as the talents that young people acquire until the job search period. We will continue to understand these two stakeholders who need each other and diversify the trainings at app.pathika.dev, we will continue to open training and recruitment programs with more companies from both Turkey and the world.
