- Fundamentals first, fundamentals throughout
- A focus on learning things that don't change
- Learn slowly and deliberately
- Learn to be proficient, not just build awareness
- Learn to understand problems, not solutions
- Learn in a circular fashion
Our students love us, and if you are committed to building a career in software development, you will too
