AWESOME NEWS
One of my web development students who I taught advanced MVC object oriented programming GOT A JOB !!!! He learned advanced MVC OO programming in just five months. No external program - just me helping him work around a small, specially built MVC code base for education [one of my three in-house education applications that is AMAZING in how it teaches and motivates students to learn programming]. Viktor was the recipent of Coder Tutor's 2020 Superior Wrenching Award.

WTG Viktor in London, UK !!!

Plans: helping students in Kisimu, rural Kenya, learn web programming AND help interested organizations do something about the problem of the digital divide. Viktor might be helping.

Do YOU know anyone who'd love to learn programming or web development? I've got a way that far surpasses anything I've seen. Message for more information. Group classes available, and specially priced [you will be in one of the very first groups I teach].

Just in from one of my students:
"Compliments of Hurricane Zeta, we've been without power. Per update from power company, restoration is expected 11/01, 11pm. I'm connected to the internet through my phone hotspot. Not sure how much I can put on it. Used a bright light camping lantern to see."

THIS STUDENT is still plodding away getting her group web assignment done DESPITE all the hardship. She did NOT give up. She's a professional IT program manager who decided she really needed to learn web technologies BETTER - and she is doing awesome!

She will go a LONG WAY as a web professional !!

I am so proud of my students !!!

[ update: I just helped student upload to server and get finishing touches ready ... it's a such a joy helping students this way !! ]

Gladly rescheduling class!
My student Audrey is also a project manager and has been tremendously busy in a voter registration project in needy neighborhoods, helping both sides register to vote.

I have some amazingly interesting students, and I'm proud when they are working hard to do important things like this.

GO AUDREY !!

Dig this utterly amazing album by an amazingly brilliant student who is now learning web development with Coder Tutors.

This is jazz to put on when you have a whole day to just listen to jazz and contemplate life. The sort of music that can delightfully help your mind re-define what the word "serious" means - and to help you find JOY in the SERIOUS.

Those of you wishing to learn web development -

THIS also looks like an EXCELLENT DEAL: https://perpetual.education/ - Dereck Wood is INTO design and education. I have been looking through his stuff and LIKE VERY MUCH. Addressing some of our big problems in both education and development.

Design for The Web: The holistic course for people who want to be more. A new class in Design education. Keep learning... until you die.

EXCELLENT description of what's wrong with a lot of education going on.

VIDEO tutorials tend to make this worse, given the many ways that video technology can be used to manipulate FEELINGS. BASICALLY - a lot of video tutorials "deliver the feeling" of having learned something. The "learning success" FEELING.

This is utterly DANGEROUS and one of the reasons so many people are FAILING to actually LEARN.

The way I teach pretty much turns "design purgatory" on its head. I teach you the RIGHT way of dealing with emotions and education so you truly get the LOVE of LEARNING IN YOUR BONES.

And, of course - learn to become an awesome web developer.

Are you stuck in tutorial purgatory? Find out what it is, if you're in it, and if so - how to get out fast / and stay out.

Our commoditized educational system is MASSIVELY turning students off the beauty and joy of web development.

I am hearing scores of complaints of students who are in classes that purport to teach students seven or eight different technologies / programming languages / frameworks ALL IN THE SAME CLASS.

Today is a bit of a nightmare day - I'm trying to help two students in the same class - they are going through HELL. This is one of the top-name American engineering universities. What they are expected to learn in this class is so insane - it is driving my students into huge anxiety. I do what I can to help.

I can help them with the assignment code and with the basics of what we are writing together. But to be honest - they are far from understanding it. It's like inviting a young person to have a drink and hitting them with a fire hose. It's insane.

BEWARE of programs you sign up for purporting to teach web development. HOW MUCH do they claim you'll learn?

You need good SUSTAINABLE education which allows you to KEEP what you learn in LONG TERM WORKING MEMORY.

In my opinion: PHP is the ONLY language offering a good, sustainable learning curve for people who aren't already highly adept at programming and technical thinking.

LEARN WEB DEVELOPMENT

- with a healthy, sustainable learning curve
- minimizing programming anxiety and learning anxiety
- tutoring time (and money) minimized, using good and inexpensive learning materials - both video and text / book.
- amazingly fun collaborative coding experiences with tutor

- a relatively easy door to the most complex types of thinking web developers and web engineers have to make, with an amazingly simple yet SOLID way of learning Model-View-Controller architecture.

Every week, I hear horror stories of students trying to learn web development in computer science classes at university and in bootcamps.

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS.

Web development can be beautiful, and the learning experience can be both rewarding and joyful.

I'm one of the top few PHP tutors / mentors on two of the biggest tutoring platforms. You can see from my reviews, from the time I've put into researching how people actually LEARN to program, and in the methodologies I've put together to MAKE LEARNING TO PROGRAM ACTUALLY HAPPEN - I'm very likely one of the very best web development tutor / mentors in the world.
