DON'T FEAR THE CODE

GET READY TO JUMP IN!

YOU MAY BE SURPRISED AT HOW SIMPLE IT IS.

What Is It All About?

Everyone who is interested in coding. Who has been intimidated by code, by problems that have complicated solutions or just curious. What we are going to do is jump in. Maybe take on more than we can handle, maybe become suprised by how simple it is, but most importantly, we jump in.

Instructors

Sam Tobia

I'm a passionate programmer that has a tendency to force people to repeat themselves over and over again. Helping you reach the success on a project is secondary you being able to reach success on your own. If you don't understand something, we will research it togethor, implement it, then delete it and do again until you get used to it. You will learn how to learn, and maybe what you asked for too. But don't worry, I don't know everything and sometimes we have to work through something together.
