Preparing

The training takes place entirely in English, so a sufficient spoken understanding of English is mandatory.

Logistics
  • Every session is held synchronously, live, including remote sessions. This training does not rely on pre-recorded videos.
  • Comprehensive course material is provided, serving as a common thread throughout the training. This typically includes numerous slides and starter codebases or repositories for every exercise and lab.
  • Trainees can ask questions at any time. Sessions alternate between theory and hands-on labs, in short intervals ranging from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Hands-on periods involve real-world use-cases, which can be bootstrapped through starter codebases, Git repositories, or online assignment labs. These periods may be completed individually or in sub-groups that change between sessions to encourage pair programming and collaboration.
  • Remote sessions are conducted via a Zoom recurring meeting, accessible through a provided link using both the installed app and the web-based, no-install client. Features commonly used include video thumbnails, screensharing, chat, breakout rooms, and potentially quizzes, annotations, and whiteboards.
