I know how it feels to be frustrated trying to learn programming. And Java in particular.

It takes dedication, focus, and curiosity. But that’s not all it takes.

In college when I was learning to program, I absolutely loved it. But when I hit snags, trying to get through the gaps in my understanding was so frustrating.

I would go to my professors for help, and they didn’t understand why I was struggling.

They were explaining it in a way that made perfect sense to them. But it made NO sense to me.

Now I spend my time helping others with everything that used to make me tear my hair out. (And look at me now - not much of any hair left!)

I'm a Lead Java Software Engineer, and have been in the industry for over 10 years.

I've also tutored beginner Java students, and I know these concepts don't have to be complicated.

I know what makes code great (not just fine). And I know exactly the kinds of skills I want in a developer on my team.

I want to teach you all the best methods for making beautiful, functional, Java code so you have employers and other developers begging you to work with them.
