Moubarmij
- Pre-Seed
E-learning platform that teaches Arabic speaking individuals around the world, to code, via Arabic video courses.
Technology is all around us, it’s on our phones, homes, and life. All these inventions wouldn't be possible without programming, as it's the core of every technology in the world.
Recent research revealed that software programming is the highest in demand in the job market, and the fields for implementation are endless.
To top it off, online education has become the disruptor in how we learn new things. People are reaching out to the internet to learn about anything and everything.
With the lack of Arabic content on the internet and the barrier of languages. Moubarmij is the ultimate platform providing high-quality educational programming content in form of video tutorials in the Arabic language.
We believe that everyone should have the chance for an education, any education, no matter what language they speak or don’t speak.
There's no good quality and up to date Arabic content on the Internet for Tech people. People in the Arab world struggle with the English language whenever trying to learn something. We've received many emails from Arab people asking for Arabic content for Programmers.
In order to learn how to program, you must learn English first. That's a big problem for a huge number of Arabic speakers planning to learn to program today. Those Arabic programmers of any level, suffer to find quality and up-to-date programming tutorials and content in their native language online.
moubarmij.com is an e-learning platform that provides professional programming tutorials in Arabic.
The platform provides programming courses in form of sequential screencast videos (recording of the computer screen with audio). Each screencast demonstrates a particular skill or knowledge in programming.
Our taget is mainly the Arab world but not only the Arab world. Anyone anywhere in the globe speaking Arabic is our target. From current analytics, the top 3 visiting countries to the platform are (1) Russia, (2) Egypt and (3) Lebanon.
In general, our target is Arabic programmers. However, the site provides courses with different levels of difficulty.
So the beginners level is targeting students of Computer majors, and anyone who wants to become a programmer without a university degree.
And the advanced level is targeting computer professionals who want to continually upgrade their skills and learn about latest programming technologies.
