Coding Boot Camp 2022 – Learn to Program

Our boot camp offers a comprehensive and interactive curriculum that will teach you the fundamentals of programming using Delphi and integrations with popular technologies such as Python and Arduino. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about more specialized topics, such as game development, web programming, and mobile app development.

This is the ultimate free boot camp for anyone who wants to learn to program. We are partnering with Dr. Kevin Bond of Educational Computing, the author of a series of board-approved textbooks on computer science. He is providing the foundation for the sessions. Our instructors are computer science educators and other developer experts from around the world, you can be confident that you’re getting the absolute best learning experience possible.

The boot camp is free and ran from Monday, August 22^nd to Friday, August 26^th. Replays are now available. Each day started at 8 AM CDT and ran to 5 PM CDT. The sessions were broken into one hour blocks, allowing you to choose the sessions based on interest and also to make it easier to revisit topics you missed or want to review. All sessions include an interactive Q&A session, so join live for maximum learning potential!

All content is appropriate for teenagers 13 and up, adults learning to program, or experienced developers who want to broaden their knowledge into more domains. There is something fun for everyone.
