Programming for Beginners, learn programming and web development with PHP

From 43.32 C$ /h

This course is for anyone who is interested in learning fundamentals of programming and web development.

Learning programming is difficult at the beginning, as you need to fully grasp the concept. Only after it “clicks”, you will be able to know how you can proceed on your own path and improve yourself further.

My intention is to help you have a good understanding of programming, and teach you how you can improve your programming knowledge.

We will use the language PHP to programming, and take it further with Javascript to learn how to create websites and web applications.

I love explaining things simply, as Einstein said If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Computers in essence are super simple, doing only super basic things. But they are layered on top of each other to create the complexity.

I will first quickly find where your current understanding lies and then from there start building on top of that. More often than not, that means starting from scratch with the basics. I find that just like math it is crucial to really understand and grasp all the preceding steps before moving to the next one. Often when people learn at public schools, they missed one step here and then from there on out people are lost and are trying to learn things by head instead. Which will not help you in the world of computers.

So what can I help with? Literally anything IT related in both English or Dutch. And yes, that means all programming languages included. Uiteraard ook in het Nederlands.

Hello Prospective Learner,

I am Gundeep, grew up in India, studied in US and worked in Silicon Valley and have 10 years of programming experience in all kinds of programming languages. I would like to share that knowledge with others. I especially think it's a great time for kids to learn programming considering that it's the next frontier of knowledge. Currently there is 1 developer for every 4 jobs in The Netherlands. And participation is really low from minority communities and women. I want to play my small part to change that. I don't intend to have too many students since I work full time and my hope is to find a handful of committed students whom I can teach true of the essence of programming besides just the technical concepts.

With young Kids 7-10 (like my son) I think technical coding-related games work great in teaching them how to think analytically. For teenagers+ I think they can already start learning python a very easy-to-use, extremely powerful language.

I live with my wife and our 6-year-old son in Loosdrecht and would be willing to commute within reasonable distance. Online classes could be option too, but I strongly believe in person education is more effective. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

*Please note that I can only teach in English. Mijn nederlands is niet zo goed :/
** For people from minority communities and women I would be glad to offer a cheaper price per lesson.
