Taro: Engineering Courses

It’s a good app however I feel one small feature would be great I.e when clicked on a link from linked in, it takes to a browser, it would be nice to have a open app button on the browser to open taro app instead of again authenticating via the browser. Thanks.

Love the interface and access to high quality tech mentoring

The premium version of this app is far better in terms of usefulness for amount of time spent learning than anything else I have tried to level up software engineering skills: better than trying to sift through YouTube, LinkedIn Learning, or asking ChatGPT. Taro does not teach specifics of syntax or “how to code” so much as a focus on how to think like a software engineer on everything from code quality to career growth. Thus, the principles apply across programming languages. The difference in thinking that can be gathered from this app matters a lot for transitioning from old ways of programming I learned in grad school to being a professional. I watched 3 courses over the past week! I was impressed by how well done it was and will continue watching more. The founders are very involved with answering questions during live office hours and on Taro’s forum. This is clearly made with great care and curation. Is it perfect? Gave 4 stars because some aspects of the user experience can be improved: -The iOS and iPadOS versions only allow me to watch at up to 1.75x speed rather than being able to go up to 2x speed in the web version. -Hard to tell which courses I have in progress or have completed. For some I have totally completed, it does not have an indicator that shows I completed it in the catalog of courses. For some that I am in progress with, I have to scroll down the catalog list or go into History to find which one I am on. There appears to be 26 courses available and many more masterclasses and forums. I think knowing the information available in Taro will improve the earning potential of most people who program for work. Would I buy the premium membership if I could turn back time? Yes! Would I recommend it to a friend who wants to become better at software techniques? Yes! Do I wish I knew about and bought it sooner? Yes, I wish I had this right after taking my first computer science course about a decade ago! I am not actually a software engineer, but I program for scientific work. Taro continues cooking: I have a feeling that soon, the user experience aspects of the iOS/iPadOS app will be resolved.

The app is a great compliment to the web platform. This is a bit more expensive than your average subscription, but you really do learn from the best. It's been several weeks and I've already leveled up my SWE skills by a lot

Not only was/am I not able to comment on ANYTHING let alone change my name, the process to figure out anything makes me feel like a proper Luddite given how I work alongside literal LUDS (aka Judges) and I am a useless hairless monkey when trying to operate this app. Please advice since y’all seem nice enough :) Bless, HEX

Been loving this app and I think it’s well worth the subscription money, especially if you work in tech. I have found the experience to be slightly better on the web app rather than this iOS version though. Minor features like autoplay and skipping to the next lesson tend to break. Still very worth the download in my opinion though.

But you have a good

Easy to use. Contents contain useful wisdom from industry veterans and users asking/answering good questions.

Fantastic app with accurate and wise advice for maximizing your professional potential!

If I were interviewing at companies, I would use the data structures and algorithms videos on Taro. I like that Taro helps you get in touch with other coders!
