Hands-on practice in LinkedIn Learning

“

- [Speaker] LinkedIn Learning offers a fantastic feature for coding and programming language courses, and that is hands-on coding practice with real-time feedback. Let's take a look at how this works. Now, to access hands-on coding practice, I'm going to go to the side navigation bar and then select Coding practice. And this will bring me to a library of courses that have this coding practice built into it. LinkedIn Learning integrates code challenges powered by CodePAD and GitHub code spaces into its courses. You can filter the courses by these two options. Let's take a look at Hands-on Practice with Code Challenges. When I do, it's showing us 153 courses that have this in it. So I'm going to scroll down and select one of these courses. And first, I want to take a look at the table of contents. So here, we see regular videos like we always have, but there's something different in here, and that is these code challenges. So here I can see after the introduction to CTEs that there is a code challenge. Below this, there's another one, another one down here and more. Now I can click on one of these, and it's telling me here that this is 20 minutes of practice, so I'm not going to complete it here, nor could I complete this. But you'll see the instructions to the problem on the left-hand side, so CTE practice, and it goes down. On the right hand side, there's an interactive coding area where you can edit or write your code. Once you're ready to test your code then, you can click test my code. So inside of here you'll see that I can click and make changes. I honestly don't even know what I'm really doing. So I'm just going to hit a couple things there and I'll test my code. Now, the console output in the bottom-left is where we're going to see our results. So I'll go ahead and click test my code, and it's telling me that the last statement should be a select. So this is incorrect, but it is giving me this tip. So if your code is incorrect, the console output will provide feedback, hints or suggestions to help you improve. Now if you don't understand the challenge at all, or you're not getting it right, not a problem, because after each one of these code challenges, there will be a solutions video. So here after this one that I didn't really understand how to do, I could go to the solutions for the payment funnel analysis with CTEs. If I click on this one, it's going to be the instructor walking me through the solution for this. So it's a really great way to assess yourself, but if you can't find it out, then you can go to the solution video and find out how to do it. These coding challenges are a powerful way to apply what you're learning in real-time and get immediate feedback. They're designed to help you practice, improve and reinforce your skills as you progress through the course. If you're learning coding or programming languages, I highly recommend exploring courses with this hands-on practice.
