Hi.
First question - can anyone recommend git / Gitlab training
providers in HK and London? Two distinct audiences - highly
intelligent people that may or may not really program, and
experienced developers with a finance background that could
benefit from knowing how to use git properly (finance is often
in the dark ages).
Can't recommend anyone in particular, but I would recommend to do
some interactive challenges at some point. Instruqt is a good
one. It has a section on git.
https://instruqt.com/public/topics/getting-started-with-git . It
is fun and can give you insights who is picking up the material
and who is lagging behind.
Second question. Lots of people these days start to program to
solve their problems at work but they may never have been shown
the basic principles of design, structuring and maintenance of
their code. If I could give them one book (and a few YouTube
links) what should it be ?
'Code Complete' is always good. And there are plenty of MIT
courses online of course, like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytpJdnlu9ug&list=PLUl4u3cNGP63WbdFxL8giv4yhgdMGaZNA (6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python. Fall 2016). Also, there are ones from the 80's, they have a certain quality, a certain rigor that I fail to find in more recent lectures.
