How We Actually Teach This Stuff
We don't lecture at you for three hours then send you home with homework. Every session focuses on a specific performance problem. You'll work on it with your instructor right there to answer questions and catch mistakes early.
Most sessions start with a broken or slow app. Your job is to profile it, find the bottlenecks, and fix them. We use real anonymized codebases from actual client projects, so you're working with the kind of messy, legacy code you'll encounter in any real job.
Between sessions, you'll have projects to complete on your own schedule. But you're not alone with them. Our instructors hold office hours three times a week where you can get unstuck. And there's a chat group where people help each other out.
- Work directly with code from real production apps
- Get immediate feedback on your optimization decisions
