Help us congratulate the Late Spring 2023 Class! It has been inspiring to watch these students grow into skilled software developers.

Congratulations Everyone!

Huge shout out and a special thank you to In Time Tec for sponsoring our kids coding summer camp. The kids enjoyed the week learning about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But, the best part is the kids are excited about software development and can’t wait to learn more!

Sam is one of our senior TA’s. Here is some advice she has if you want to become a better software developer,

“Remember to be kind to yourself when you make mistakes. Instead of internalizing them and thinking you aren’t a good developer, see if you can instead find humor in the little errors, forgive and laugh at yourself, and move on!”

Partner programming is a software development practice where two programmers work together at the same computer, with one typing and the other reviewing and providing input. This approach has several benefits:

1) Improved Code Quality

2) Knowledge Sharing and Skill Development

3) Enhanced Team Communication and Collaboration

Savannah is one of our senior TA’s. Here is some advice she has if you want to become a better software developer,

“Embrace curiosity and don't hesitate to ask questions! It's perfectly fine not to have all the answers, and no one expects you to. As a junior software developer, it's important to start with a broad perspective and grasp fundamental concepts before diving deeper into the areas that pique your interest. Instead of rushing to learn everything, focus on building confidence in your skills. Remember, it's okay to take your time and gradually expand your knowledge!”

Miles is one of our senior TA’s at CodeWorks. Here is some advice he has if you want to become a better software developer,

“It's crucial for you to dive into consistent practice, eagerly taking on coding challenges and working on personal projects that ignite your passion. As you write code, make it a personal mission to prioritize cleanliness and readability, using meaningful names and diligently documenting your work. Embrace mistakes as valuable learning opportunities and approach them with a growth mindset, knowing that they will shape you into a stronger developer.”

Jordan is one of our rock star TA’s. Here is some advice she has if you want to become a better software developer,

“As you dive into the world of software development, remember to be kind to yourself and try not to compare yourself to others. Imposter syndrome can strike in many fields, but can be especially challenging in the world of programming. Everyone’s software development journeys are different, so it’s key to focus on your own growth and development. Celebrate each of your successes and use your mistakes as learning opportunities!”

Jeanne is one of our teaching assistants (TA) at CodeWorks and her advice to becoming a great software developer is, “understanding the result you want first before you even begin writing any code. What do you want your data to look like? What do you want your webpage to do? Then you can decide how best to get there.”

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

During capstone you learn how to work together as a team so you can accomplish more in a shorter amount of time.

Happy Father's Day to all the coding superheroes out there! Your dedication, problem-solving skills, and tireless efforts make you the ultimate tech dad. Today, we honor your commitment to building a better future through code.

All the teams have an idea for the full stack application they want to create. Now, they need to plan and organize how they are going to create it in just two weeks.

For the next two weeks the seniors will be working in a team environment where they have to create a full stack application.

Partner programming is important in software development because it offers the following benefits:

1) Improved code quality through continuous code review and error detection.
2) Knowledge sharing among developers, reducing knowledge silos.
3) Faster development time due to instant feedback and efficient decision-making.
4) Increased creativity and innovation through collaboration and idea exchange.
5) Enhanced team communication, trust, and morale.

If you want to be a better software developer, there are two important things you can do: time boxing and taking breaks. Time boxing means setting specific times to work on tasks. It helps you stay focused and not waste time. Taking breaks means giving your brain a rest from coding. When you code for a long time without breaks, you can get tired, lose focus, and lose creativity.
