Workshops and Masterclasses
I've been running classroom training for software professionals since 2016.
Drawing on over
15 years' experience designing large-scale software applications, running
software development
teams, and speaking at meetups and conferences, I've taught developers to
build hypermedia APIs,
I've run a fast-track 'introduction to .NET Core' course aimed at developers
looking to switch
to the Microsoft .NET platform, and I run workshops aimed at helping
software professionals improve their communication and presentation skills.
