Merna is the instructor of some well-known programming and technical courses online. She has been working as a student ambassador for multiple reputable companies to help students earn international certifications in various fields and is now taking all that she has learned, to teach programming skills and to help you discover the amazing career opportunities that being a developer allows in life.
Having been a self-taught programmer, she understands that there is an overwhelming number of online courses, tutorials, and books that are overly verbose and inadequate at teaching proper skills. Most people feel paralyzed and don't know where to start when learning a complex subject matter, or even worse, most people don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a coding boot camp. Programming skills should be affordable and open to all. An education material should teach real-life skills that are current, and they should not waste a student's valuable time.
She believes that to learn anything of value, you need to start with the foundation and develop the roots of the tree. Only from there will you be able to learn concepts and specific skills(leaves) that connect to the foundation. Learning becomes exponential when structured in this way.
