OUR STUDENTS
Before starting the Joy of Coding Academy, I did not feel prepared for the job. I finished a Masters in Interactive Technologies Programming, but I didn’t have experience in the field...
After joining the Joy of Coding Academy, I now feel confident that I can break situations down into smaller tasks to get results, and I feel that the impostor syndrome isn't there all the time like it used to be.
David B.
Before the Joy of Coding I had some basic JavaScript and Python knowledge and wasn't all that familiar with how to use Git in a collaborative capacity.
Now, I feel very comfortable using Git to work with others, I have a solid working knowledge of React, and I feel confident enough with programming in general to learn new languages on the side like TypeScript, Go, and Rust.
Kevin H.
I always felt supported by Dr. Hill. She believes in the potential of all of her students, and really invests in building our confidence as young technologists. She was always willing to share her personal experiences, candid advice, and contacts.
The real projects we completed truly prepared me for programming at the enterprise level.
