Setup session
Before session one we get your machine working — editor, runtime, accounts. Nobody loses a week to installation problems.
Live sessions
5 weeks of scheduled live teaching, with exercises in between and a channel for questions that can't wait.
Project and certificate
You finish the project, it goes into your own GitHub, and you get a certificate. Strong work also gets a reference from us.
