Frequently Asked Questions

Priodemy is a free online learning platform designed to help you master programming. We offer 14 structured courses, 290+ lessons, 1400+ quiz questions, and a code playground where you can practice without setup.

Our mission is to make coding education accessible to everyone — especially Indian students — with hands-on, practical examples.

Yes! All courses, lessons, quizzes, and the playground are free forever. There are no hidden fees or premium tiers.

We fund the platform through ads (Google AdSense) and optional paid certifications. Free learners get the same content as paid users.

No prior experience required. Our courses are designed for complete beginners. We start from absolute basics — what is HTML, what is a variable — and build up gradually.

Priodemy offers 14 courses:

• Web frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React
• Languages: Python, Java, C++, PHP
• Backend: Node.js
• Data: SQL, MongoDB
• Tools: Git & GitHub
• Hardware: Robotics (Arduino)

Each course has 10-30 lessons with try-it editors and quizzes.

Each course is divided into bite-sized lessons. A typical lesson includes:

• Theory: Clear explanations with real-world examples
• Code Examples: Interactive snippets you can run and modify
• Try It Yourself: Live editor to practice
• Quiz: Quick check at the end of each lesson
• Notes: Tips, gotchas, and links to deeper reading

Yes — sign in with your Google account to get a personal dashboard with:

• Progress across every course
• Lessons completed with timestamps
• Learning streak and activity calendar
• Earned achievements (Python Starter, Full-Stack, etc.)
• "Pick up where you left off" links

Without sign-in you can still read everything; you just don't get progress tracking.

Yes — through our ProdiFy certification system. After completing a course's lessons, you can take a certification exam:

• Free certifications for some courses
• Paid certifications for advanced courses (₹199-499 typical)
• Verifiable certificates with QR code, shareable on LinkedIn
• Permanent verification URL — anyone can verify authenticity

Depends on your pace and the course. Average estimates with consistent practice (1-2 hours/day):

• HTML: 1-2 weeks
• CSS: 2-3 weeks
• JavaScript: 4-6 weeks for fundamentals
• Python: 4-6 weeks
• React / Node.js: 4-8 weeks each (best after JavaScript)
• SQL: 2-3 weeks

Take your time — depth beats speed.

Two common paths:

Web development path: HTML → CSS → JavaScript → (TypeScript) → React → Node.js

General programming / placement path: Python OR Java → SQL → Git → DSA practice

If unsure, start with HTML or Python — both are beginner-friendly and lead naturally to other topics.

Absolutely. There are no deadlines, no live classes. Lessons stay accessible 24/7. Pause for weeks, come back, pick up where you left off — your progress saves automatically when you sign in.

The Code Playground is a browser-based editor where you can write and run code without installing anything. We have a web editor for HTML/CSS/JavaScript with live preview, and a multi-language Code Runner supporting 19 languages including Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, and more.

No installation needed. Everything runs in your browser. Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) all work. You only need an internet connection.

Yes. Code in the editor is saved to your browser's localStorage automatically — it stays there until you clear browser data. We don't store your code on our servers.

For permanent storage, copy your code to a file or push it to GitHub.

An account is optional. Without one you can read every lesson, take every quiz, and use the playground. With a free account (Google sign-in), you also get progress tracking, achievements, and a personal dashboard.

Click Login in the top-right of any page → choose Google sign-in. Takes about 5 seconds. We don't require email/password sign-up — just Google.

Yes. We take privacy seriously:

• All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest (Firebase)
• We never sell your personal information
• Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth (Google's secure platform)
• We only collect data necessary to provide our services

ProdiFy is our certification system. After learning a course, take a ProdiFy exam to prove your skill level and earn a verifiable certificate.

Multiple-choice questions covering everything from your course. Time-limited. Pass mark is typically 70%. Once passed, you get a downloadable PDF certificate plus a permanent verification URL on priodemy.com/verify/CODE — anyone can verify the certificate is real.

Some certifications are free; advanced ones cost ₹199-499 (paid via Razorpay). The fee covers exam infrastructure, certificate generation, and verification storage. Refunds available within 7 days if you haven't started the exam.

Yes. There's a 24-hour cooldown between attempts so you can study weak areas. Free certifications can be retaken indefinitely; paid certifications include 2 attempts per purchase.
