FAQ

Common questions about this guide.

Not at all. This guide is for CS students at any Egyptian university — Cairo University, Ain Shams, Alexandria, Mansoura, Helwan, Benha, or any other. The Egyptian tech industry and hiring practices are the same regardless of which university you attend.

This site is completely free. The vast majority of resources linked here are also free. For paid courses (like Coursera), there's usually a free audit option or financial aid available. We clearly label everything.

Go to the Roadmaps page, pick your track, and check off steps as you complete them. Your progress is saved automatically in your browser's local storage — it won't sync across devices, but it persists on the same device.

Absolutely! Click "Recommend a Resource" on the Courses page, or open a GitHub issue directly. All contributions are reviewed and added if they meet quality standards.

We update the content regularly. Check the "Last updated" date in the footer. If you find something outdated, please open a GitHub issue — we appreciate it.

This site is useful for anyone learning to code in Egypt. The roadmaps, courses, and tools sections are valuable regardless of your degree. Career info is most relevant to CS students, but many career paths are open to self-taught developers too.

Web Dev TrackHighschool Student

I'm not even in university yet — I just love coding. Helm gave me a real roadmap instead of random YouTube rabbit holes. I started the Web Dev track as a hobby and now I'm building actual projects. Didn't expect a site this good to exist for free.

First week of university and I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing outside of lectures. A friend sent me Helm and it completely changed how I approached my studies. The year filter showing exactly what matters for first years is something I didn't know I needed.

Financial AidCS Student

I was overwhelmed by how much there is to learn in CS. Helm broke it down in a way that actually made sense to me. I used the Financial Aid helper to get into an Andrew Ng course for free — got approved in 8 days. As a first year that felt like a huge win.

Third year is when things get real — internships, specializations, figuring out what you actually want to do. Helm's career section explained the Egyptian hiring timeline better than anyone in my university ever did. Applied to two companies and knew exactly what to expect.

I wish this existed when I was in second year. The CV guide alone would have saved me months of applying with a terrible resume. Even now as a graduate I come back to the tools page whenever I'm setting up a new environment. It's just the most honest Egyptian dev resource out there.
