Learning is like a video game The fact that there are exercises and projects in every theory section. I believe you should provide the solution or some hints, cause sometimes exercises are more complicated than theory.

General impression Java basics I have chosen the learning approach without a fee in order to find out whether the form, style of educating programming topics suites me in general. I must say yes. I can recommend the form, the style. The Java basics are tought well. Also the exercises that follow chapters of theory in order to repeat the topic are designed very well as tasks of different difficulty are provided to get accomplished. Also a link in the excercises back to theory concerned is offered. A few times it appears that theory linked to support the solution doesn't stick to the task. This can be solved by reviewing the theory sections. As it doesn't take too much time I feel this is okay.

JetBrains IDE integration What I really like of Hyperskill is the integration with JetBrains IDE. A learning tool that integrates and gives an opportunity to get to know our IDE better (key shortcuts, preference changes, tabs etc.). When I got my PHPStorm company licence it wasn't hard to work with because I use some IDEs since 90s but still. There's a lot new options that JetBrains Academy plugin and Hyperskill help to learn. Only one thing I miss on the Hyperskill page is to have two study plans opened. Or easier way to jump from study plans like I want to learn C++ from the beginning and develop my SQL skills. Great work Hyperskill Team!

Straightforward course with practical examples with real-world usage I got through a lot of software courses, but this one suits me the best. The theory is divided into small but logical parts and it's often connected with practice and real use-cases and that's the most valuable part of it. Some practice questions are ambiguous and needs more 'intuitive' approach. But overall, they are making the pages better and better every day.

I so far found it a great platform I recently came across the platform by way of a web search on a technical subject; I decided to read on and explore the site. I'm currently a non-paying member enrolled in the data science study plan. I find the project- (portfolio-) based training constructive as well as the grouping of topics towards a given domain, e.g. data science. I already have a background in Engineering and found the topic coverage suitable and looking forward to complete a project; I will likely become a paying member.
