Skills
Skills on DojoCode represent different areas of software development that you can master over time. As you solve challenges, you earn skill points that reflect your growing proficiency in each area.
Each skill is mapped to specific challenge tags, so every challenge you complete contributes to one or more skills automatically.
How skills work
- Earn points - Completing challenges awards points to the skills associated with that challenge.
- Level up - As you accumulate points in a skill, you progress through 10 levels, from Novice all the way to Grandmaster.
- Track your progress - Your skill progress is displayed as a radar chart on your profile, giving you a visual overview of your strengths and areas for improvement.
- Unlock achievements - Many skills have related badges that you can earn as you advance.
