Testimonials
“@coderbuddy really came through to me when my server host fell through and I needed to host an app quickly. Very cool project.”
- @jrubinovitz Jennifer Rubinovitz, Python Developer
"We're all loving CoderBuddy! Seriously! It just works! Honestly, I didn't realize it could be that easy to hold the workshop via CoderBuddy, until we used it. My students really liked the ability to collaborate together."
- Albert Padin, CEO, SpellDial
“Wow Adrian! Really nice work! I only played with it a bit so far but am really impressed, can't wait to use it more :) … Hey Adrian, the team was pretty excited to see this as well.”

Testimonials, part 2
“I like how CoderBuddy has all of my development tools in one online platform. The team and I can update the code without having to wait, so that we can all preview it at the same time.”
- Alexander Agrazal, Python Developer
“I didn't realize how much having an editor in the web browser would make playing with this sort of development more seamless.”
- J.F. Burns, Python Developer
"I used to help out at App Engine 101 workshops when I was working at Google. It was unbelievable how difficult it was for so many developers to just get 'Hello World' working. I love how with CoderBuddy, it's super simple to get up and running in just a couple of minutes."
