About this course

Programmers start their careers by learning how to code in a way that accomplishes the goal of their application but working as a professional coder requires them to code in a way that is in synergy with the rest of the organization. This course by Andrew Byrne, a coding expert, readies programmers to work in an environment where they work in tandem with an organization to create major applications with real world impact.

The course teaches coders the world of programming beyond writing your own code – it focuses on how professional developers need to manage changes, maintain databases, ensure quality control, and understand the methods than ensure data security. Students upload their code to GitHub portfolios and get feedback in the form of discussions as well as code reviews.

This includes updating code written by other people, making code readable and editable by others, using Git or other version control systems, and using OSS (Open Source Software) libraries.
