 Announcing The Techli Academy

Chris Oliver <exc...@gmail.com> Aug 01 09:20PM -0700  

Hey everyone,
 
I wanted to let you guys know that we have a programming academy that we
are starting in St. Louis called the TechLi Academy (
http://techliacademy.com/ ).
 
It's going to follow the same approach as Chicago's Code Academy with an 11
week Rails course taught by yours truly. Students will learn the basics of
Rails, starting from scratch and working up towards building their own
applications using external services and APIs.
 
Classes will be held at the T-Rex building downtown St. Louis two nights a
week with related meetups and events to get students involved in the
community. We want to have a strong focus on startups and entrepreneurship,
but also partner with local companies looking to hire Rails developers.
 
This class is perfect for anyone looking to learn the technical skills to
become a real developer or build some of their own ideas. If you're a
beginner with Rails, we will be covering the topics in depth where you will
learn best practices of how to setup routes, query the database, and
structure your code. We will be getting down and dirty and you'll be able
to take huge strides towards building real web applications by the end of
the course.
 
A little background on me: I've been a fulltime Rails developer for the
past 3 years and have contributed to Rails core and many popular gems like
Devise, Paperclip, and much more.
 
So if you're interested, or you know someone who is interested, you can
read more about it and apply here: http://techliacademy.com/
 
We are still fleshing out some details, but if you have any questions, send
them my way and I'll get them answered for you. Thanks!
