When learning to code, most people get stuck on the "bridge" between memorizing syntax and understanding the logic that makes it all work. We believe the most effective way to learn a programming language is to break the process into three phases:
Most beginners jump from memorizing syntax directly into making stuff (or trying) without fully understanding how syntax is used to solve problems. In other words, they haven't learned how to think like a programmer, yet they're trying to solve problems like a programmer.
Edabit was created to bridge this gap, while also making the process fun and addictive.

My daughter and I play "dadbot" where I'm the robot and she has to give me clear instructions on what I should do. It started after I showed her https://lightbot.com/ but we like the "screen-free" nature of dadbot better. Eventually she jumps on my back and the game doesn't last much longer because dadbot gets tired. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

That gem collection game looks like a fairly direct rip-off of https://lightbot.com/ If you have kids that you'd like introduce to some programming concepts in a fun way, I highly recommend it. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

~3/4 months after starting as an Area Manager at Amazon I started to self-teach myself programming in JavaScript from the book "Head First JavaScript" and practicing via edabit.com. I spent ~1 month practicing and only got up to Chapter 7 or 8 in Head First javaScript. Source: about 1 year ago
