Ruby is a general-purpose programming language. The brainchild of many other brilliant languages, it's an intuitive route into programming. Ruby is used in web applications through frameworks like Rails and Sinatra.
JavaScript is rapidly becoming the biggest programming language in the world. You can use it anywhere: to animate text on a page, to run a high-throughput server, and to enable your coffee machine to work over WiFi.
Test-Driven Development is an engineering methodology that helps to produce stable, tested code. TDD is core to everything you do at Makers Academy: we'll show you how to master it to create beautifully-articulated programs.
HTML is the building material of the web. We'll guide you towards building beautiful, structured webpages and altering content dynamically, both on the server and client-side.
git is the world's most popular way to manage, share, and distribute code. We embed best GitHub practices from the get-go, which perfectly suits our focus on Pair Programming - and our Hiring Partners.
Software Craftsmanship is a movement to improve the quality of developers and the software they write. We train you to really care about your code, and how to develop the professional skills required of a modern engineer.
We're passionate about education and software development. Our course has been designed by industry experts to introduce you to the most used technologies in today's marketplace, and to equip you with the skills you need to quickly find a job as a Junior Developer.
