<p>The Odin Project is different from other online programs in that it pulls the best resources from around the web and compiles them to create a complete curriculum. In many other programs the material is formatted to meet their specific curriculum. This means that not all of the lessons are top-notch. The Odin Project sidesteps this downfall by pulling various free resources from around the web and compiles them in one place.</p>

<p>The Odin Project also attempts to develop your problem solving skills when it requires you to install programs on your local computer. As developers, programming errors frequently arise and knowing how to decipher error messages is critical. These problem solving skills are frequently ignored by other programs.</p>

<p>Lastly, The Odin Project is project based. Other programs require you to simply input the correct answer. It is difficult to retain any knowledge by learning the bare minimum syntax. The Odin Project is designed with projects built from the ground up giving you real-world experience that you can use to build your portfolio and get hired as a web developer!</p>

<p>The Odin Project is different from other online programs in that it pulls the best resources from around the web and compiles them to create a complete curriculum. In many other programs, the material is formatted entirely to meet their specific curriculum. This can be nice but often limits the learner's ability to explore and discover other resources, especially technical documentation. The Odin Project sidesteps this downfall by pulling various free resources from around the web and combining them with our own in-house content, not just as "check out these interesting reads" but as intentional additions supplementing our own material. While this often involves a lot of reading, learners get a lot more practice with the resources used and skills needed for professional work.</p>

As developers, programming errors frequently arise and knowing how to decipher error messages is critical, especially within the same environment developers use in the real world.

Other programs often require you to simply input the correct answer, but it is difficult to retain any knowledge by just learning the bare minimum syntax. The Odin Project is designed with projects built from the ground up, focusing on building strong fundamentals while giving you real-world experience that you can use to build your portfolio and get hired as a web developer!</p>

<p>Odin is a figure from Norse mythology, the allfather of the gods. He is portrayed as powerful and fickle (as they often are) but also wise and cunning. His search for knowledge is a thing of legends - he <a href='http://norse-mythology.org/tales/why-odin-is-one-eyed'>gave his eye for the wisdom of ages</a> and hung from the world tree, pierced by his own spear, for nine days and nights to <a href='http://norse-mythology.org/tales/odins-discovery-of-the-runes/'>gain the knowledge of runes</a>.</p>
