Teach Yourself Programming with Enki - [Daily Training]

---

The motto of this mobile app is 'The 5-minute daily workout for your dev skills'. I know of enki for a few months now, but I only started playing with it more consistently just a few days ago. Let me give a briefing of its most important features.

First, this is interactive learning, which in my opinion, is far better than passive learning where you only digest/receive information without getting to interact with it.

The skills that you can currently develop with Enki are:

• JavaScript
• Java
• Python
• Computer Science
• CSS
• Linux
• Git

There may be more of them with the paid version of the app. But, I'm only using the free version and I think it's sufficient.

Every day I receive a so called workout, which takes 5 minutes and I am being introduced to a new concept. I am provided with code examples and descriptions of the concepts (for example, the datetime module, the math module, or even classes in Python) and then I receive a short 'fill-in-with-the-code' test to strengthen the knowledge of the concept.

Additionally, sometimes when I open the app the next day, I am given a very short test of the concepts learned the day before. Plus, there are code games that are you are unlocking as you go through the 'workouts'. And these are very fun too.

If this sounds interesting, go ahead and download the free app on your iOS or Android. Learn more at enki. And if you know of similar apps, please share them in the comments below.
