Designed for Professionals
Our method is designed to help professionals like you become productive as developers.
You are working in a fast-paced environment. Now you need to develop software in Java and/or Python. You have programming knowledge. You programmed in your classes in college, but that did not need to be production-quality software. Or maybe you worked as a developer in the past, but with a different language. Or you simply have not done it for a while and you are a bit rusty.
You are under pressure to go through the learning curve of the languages and the programming environment so you can become a productive developer. We can help.
We have been there, we understand what you need.
- There is a lot of truly excellent training material online. But you do not have the time to research where the best material that fits your needs is. We do that for you.
- Online learning is the best in terms of flexibility. You learn when you want, at your own pace. But you learn alone. You have to rely only on yourself to make a plan, to stick to it, to motivate yourself. It is not easy. With us, you have a team dedicated to making you reach your goals. Together, we plan, we set the pace, we monitor your progress, we stay motivated, we succeed.
- With us, you ask any questions, you get help any time you need it, you verify that you have mastered all aspects. We assign a team of tutors dedicated to you, to assist you all the way.
- Everybody in our team has worked as software developer for many years in the most well-known companies in high-tech, networking, social media, financial, and education fields. With us, you do not just learn how to write code, you learn how to deploy it in production. You learn the IDE thoroughly (we recommend Eclipse, unless you have different needs) and how to configure and efficiently use Apache, Tomcat, and the frameworks (e.g., Spring).
How the Buddy Method Works
Here is how our method works.
- Our method is based on the
Four Buddies : 1. You; 2. Your Personal Tutor; 3. Your Learning Buddy; 4. Your Personal Assistant. - When you sign up, we assign your
Personal Tutor . Your Personal Tutor defines a personalized study program for you, based on your goals, and follows you until you achieve your goals. You and your Personal Tutor define the pace. Your Personal Tutor gives you assignments and monitors your progress. Your Personal Tutor is there to answer any question you may have, or even simply discuss with you about specific concepts, to make sure that you fully grasp them. - When you sign up, you should identify a
Learning Buddy . The Learning Buddy should be somebody you interact with on a daily basis. Can be a friend, a collegue, or a relative. He or she does not need to have a knowledge of programming or even be a technical person (although it does not hurt). Your Learning Buddy should be genuinely interested in helping you achieve your goals. - We use the Learning Buddy because our tutors cannot be physically there with you. Your Personal Tutor follows you very closely via email and chat. But what if you ignore your Personal Tutor? With a Learning Buddy, our Personal Tutor has a reference person to go to, who is physically next to you and can add that extra "hump" of motivation when it is needed. In our experience, the Learning Buddy only gets involved once in a while. Most of the time you are fine just working with your tutors; but believe us, the Learning Buddy can make all the difference when it counts.
- When you sign up, we also assign your
Personal Assistant . The Personal Assistant is a second tutor who is there to help you if needed.
Group Learning Highly Recommended
Do you have a colleague or a friend who also needs to become a productive developer?
Encourage him or her to enroll as well, and let us know that you would like to be a Learning Group. In our experience, we have seen that going through the program with somebody you know is even more effective and rewarding.
We keep it personal and dedicated to you, but we are experts in making it even more fun for you to learn with friends and colleagues. We can even throw a little competition into it when it helps. Trust us, you are going to like it.

We are so confident that our method is going to work for you that we commit to stay with you until you have achieved your goals.
When you sign up with us, you do not sign up for a fixed number of weeks or for a fixed learning program. You sign up for success.
