Instructor Details

Estefania Cassingena Navone

I'm Estefania. I love teaching. I'm a Web Developer with experience in Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, and other web technologies.

My goal is to create engaging courses where you will learn programming and understand it so well that you will be able to apply your knowledge to new situations, projects, and professional opportunities. I know that learning how to code can be challenging, but I'm here to make your journey smoother and to help you create memories that you will never forget about how you learned how to code.

I currently have 30,000+ students and 10+ courses on Udemy and my top priority is to support you by answering every single one of your questions. I'm here to help you, so please do not hesitate to ask if you ever have a question during my courses.

I believe that detailed and clear explanations combined with the power of visual learning materials create the learning experience that every learner deserves. That is the experience that I want to give you during my courses.

Coding is amazing. I love programming, data structures, algorithms, and I know what it feels like when you learn something new and you are able to create a new project or product just with your computer and a few lines of code. It's like magic!

By Ashley Kleynhans on 8/6/2026

This is by far one of the best. and one of the most engaging courses that I have completed on Udemy. It has greatly expanded my knowledge of Visual Studio Code, and I can finally switch from IntelliJ to Visual Studio Code. Highly recommended!

By Omar Vielma on 7/8/2026

Could not follow up on the Git Hub class. It did not match what I was seen in VS Code?

By Steve E Carlson on 6/12/2026

She is precise, clearly explains each step, has a happy cheerful disposition and is very likable. Beyond that I am learning so much about using visual studio code that I had no idea existed even though I have used the IDE frequently.

By Ron Edgar on 6/10/2026

Much of it is good for my use case, but I don't do any web based code, html, or Java Script, so that stuff in unimportant to me and would just as soon skip that stuff. I only work with C and a little prototyping with Python. These days, most of my Python is auto generated with AI.

By Okemo Hodge on 5/7/2026

Thanks for the course. I learned a lot about the best code editor. Now, I am going to use VS Code to write assembly language programs. The instructor is very knowledgeable about the subject. The course was in "bite-size" lessons that were easy to follow along to. The course is complete with good lectures, explanations, quizzes, and skills assessment.

By Arno 613 on 4/3/2026

This is one of the best courses I have seen. Very practical, exactly what I was looking for to be able to use VS Code effectively. Good structure with videos, documents, and fun exams after each module. Zooms in well when needed and a pleasant narrative style. A pleasure to watch.

By Kirk Freyermuth on 2/16/2026

This course has been great for me to gain an understanding of basic activities in Visual Studio Code. I'm only giving it four stars as I've had to review several chapters multiple times because the instructor didn't show what she had done in prep for some of the contents. It would be better if she described the keys she was using to get to some portions of the instruction.

By Andrzej Hochbaum on 1/4/2026

This course is excellent and very substantive. The instructor is truly outstanding — she explains every topic in a very clear, concise, and thorough way. It is easily one of the best lecturers available on Udemy. I highly, highly recommend this course.

By Zhang Jie on 12/30/2025

The course covers many aspects for beginners to start using VS Code. I feel the first several sections are very good, while some in the rest sections are more advanced and specific, not relevant to my objective of using VS Code. Overall, good course!

By Keith Klein on 12/25/2025

We are getting to the point for loading Microsoft C++ and I am hoping that I can learn it all. I retreated to Arduino C++ and the ESP32S3 for a time. I understand the process but still would appreciate a tutor that lived close. I do thank you for bringing out so much information. KFK
