Learn the basics of programming and tech literacy with fun and simple explanations. Join Evan Kimbrell in this course to improve your coding journey!
This course is perfect for anyone who feels lost in the tech world. We're breaking things down super simply and making it easy to understand programming!
Increase your chance of success learning to code and communicating with other developers
60%+ of people who try to learn how to program end up quitting.
Why?
Is it because "programming just isn't for everyone"?
Or is it because only those with experience in hard sciences can learn it?
No, neither of those are true. It's simply due to the fact that the vast majority of people who try don't have a basic understanding of the technology they're going to use.
How exactly can you tackle responsive design if you don't know how a browser works?
How are you going to create a desktop application if you don't know what makes your computer freeze constantly (besides porn, obviously)?
How are you going to hide your confused facial expression the next time your site's server crashes because of a "node socket problem" in your full stack Javascript?
If you've ever taken your computer to a technician and said "Make it work" or "It don't work good. Me cry" then you're exactly who needs this course.
Over the next 10 years the United States is expected to add over 2 million programming jobs. Jobs that pay well over $100,000 a year. And that's just the United States (Merica').
So if you're trying to jump on the coding gravy train, put down your bronze statuette of Elon Musk standing on Mars, and start filling in the gaps in your "tech literacy". Even if you yourself do not become a "coding ninja" yourself all the future coding ninjas you work with with thank you (and tell you to stop calling them coding ninjas).
About your instructor:
Hi, I'm Evan Kimbrell. I too struggled to learn the basics of programming. If failing to program were a sport, I'd be on the Dream Team.
Today, I run a web and mobile development agency called Sprintkick and over the last 4 years we've built and managed over 100+ web & mobile applications.
How does one so technologically challenged manage to pull this off? Well, first off I would disagree with "technologically challenged" (come on) and second it was actually straight forward. I just had to spend a concerted amount of time learning what I needed to know about basic computer, web, and programming technology as well as modern technology trends and advanced concepts.
This course is an accelerated path designed to get you to "I get it" and finally start communicating correctly & effectively about technology.

The contents are really educative, easy to understand and fun
Information is displayed very well
Entertaining and informative. The manner in which the information is given made a topic that was overwhelming and difficult to understand approachable for me. The information builds on itself as you go through the course. I do not consider myself a technical person, yet I felt the way it was explained highly understandable. Give it a shot if you want to learn to speak to developers or become one!
It was definitely a useful course. I had a short journey with programming, but I got overwhelmed and gave up. This course made me understand, why I gave up and gave me motivation to get back to learning programming. I would recommend it for everyone, who has little knowledge regarding programming and computers or are a bit lost with where to start. <3
Great intro to Pre-programming ideal for all levels looking to know which specific niche works for them in the industry
Thorough!
Honestly, Honestly, Honestly, this guy is brilliant and has a funny way of inserting jokes based on the material he is covering. talking about programming is a boring topic, but Evan found a way to make this both entertaining and educational.
It was good I learned a lot. Some explanations went a little fast.
As a newbie i find the content quite comprehensive. I enjoyed it.

I took the course because I need to up skill. The dude is explaining things I’ve always wanted to know about computers, that other ppl seem to take for granted, in an entertaining way. For instances I kind of knew what RAM on my computer is, if now I really know. I would like to know more how ram related to the cpu in processing speed, and what’s more important. But so far so good, and really looking forward to the rest of the class.
