Most of my Boulder and Denver Ruby buddies know how much I enjoy mentoring and teaching so I'm pretty excited to announce that I've teamed up with the DaVinci Institute in Louisville to create a programming course called DaVinci Coders. We all know someone who wants to be software developer but doesn't know where to start, so I'm asking you to pass this info on to them.
DaVinci Coders is an 11-week course for smart, driven people who want to learn how to program. It's going to be highly immersive, covering all the tasks a developer deals with during a project's lifetime. Students will be committing code into Git on day one and deploying working applications to production shortly afterward. Each student will be paired up with a mentor, an experienced Ruby developer to help solve problems outside of the classroom. Students will also have access to the DaVinci Institute's co-working facility and regular presentations from industry experts. The course isn't just for people who want to make a career change, it's also perfect for entrepreneurs starting their own companies and managers who want to better understand the process they're responsible for. We're having an open house on April 21st in Louisville if you want to come up and see what this is all about. Courses start June 4th and we're taking applications until May 6th.
