JavaRush is 9 years old! A little about the results and plans

Hello from the JavaRush team! Today the project turns 9 years old, and we want to share this holiday with our huge community: in 2021 it has grown to nearly 2 million people :) By tradition, we sum up the main results of the year and share teasers of big plans for the future.

So, the results:

1. New opportunities to personalize learning

The updated and expanded Java Syntax quest, which we tested in beta mode last year, has become a full-fledged part of the JavaRush course. We made sure that every new user could learn in a format convenient for him and taking into account his knowledge base:

• at the start you can take a test in Java, and the course will be adjusted to your “base”;
• you can choose the style of presenting the material: interactive, familiar to most of our users, gamified or classic - without water.

2. Development of multiplatform

We continue to develop the JavaRush mobile application for Android . Over two years, 335 thousand users from 176 countries downloaded the application, and every fifth user actively uses it to take a Java course. Well, we, in turn, continue to develop the application for iOS and plan to enter beta in the new year :)

3. Multilingualism and global markets

This summer we added English and Ukrainian interface languages ​​to the JavaRush website and application. But, of course, we have gathered the most “diverse” Java community on our multilingual project - CodeGym. Lately we have been noticing more and more new students from the CIS on our multilingual project CodeGym . It already has 630 thousand registered users from dozens of countries, most of them students from the States, Poland, Germany and China.

... And plans:

Honestly, for the first time we have to take stock, having more plans than results, but it just so happens that our team generated a bunch of ideas in the first half of 2021, and now all that remains is to implement everything step by step... We guys are not too superstitious, but In order not to spoil the surprise, we will leave only a few key words in our plans:

• bringing JavaRush gamification to a new level;
• new plugin;
• new training formats using JavaRush.

Okay, let's not mince words on the last point. Moreover, you probably found a letter in your mail with an offer to participate in the annual training program at JavaRush - Java developer in 12 months . The first group starts classes this week. So if you didn’t hear / didn’t have time / want to participate, but not right now - leave a request : we will form the following training streams. Finally, as always, we want to say a huge thank you to all of you for giving us new ideas, supporting each other and staying with us even after graduation. Cheers cheers :)
