How did Codeanywhere begin? and how has it developed over time?
The original premise when we started in 2009 was to help people do their work from anywhere – so that they are not tied down to one device. As the years progressed we realized that our proposition had evolved and became to help people and empower them to; educate themselves, get a job, and give back to the community – this is something that really resonated with as, and thus have really pushed in these directions over the last couple of years.What level of experience and knowledge do your customers require in order to successfully use Codeanywhere ?
You do need to know and understand the basics of software development, in order to use Codeanywhere. That being said, novices can definitely use it, and we encourage them to do so, but they will not find it as easy as experienced software developers. For this reason one of our target audiences are educational institutions and people who are starting to learn to code. The reason for this is that usually when you start to code something you would need to install some dependencies like frameworks or databases – this can be very difficult and confusing for someone who is just starting out in the software development world. With Codeanywhere we take care of everything for the user, so you can just focus on making your code work – not on troubleshooting dependencies, which makes a world of a difference if you are just getting started.Who is your target audience?
- Educational institutions and people starting out with programming
- Companies who use our pair programing feature for interviewing their potential developers hires
Basically all of our user verticals are about helping people: either get a job, learn or help the community.
