This is my little corner of the internet. Hopefully, you can learn something around here (and teach me something too!).
Feedback from course participants
Despite being just 3 days I came away with a good overall knowledge of python and what it can do. The labs were structured well and organised and Kevin was a great instructor as always explained things in an easy way to follow. Was great. Good timings with breaks and lunch and never felt long or tiring like others can do
Structured and easy to follow
structure was clear and teaching style encouraged lots of people with different skills to take part.
Lots of examples, Kevin is enthusiastic about the subject, and was great at problem solving our issues! The delivery was great, the github repo was well organised, and Kevin provided loads of great links for tools and future learning
Enjoyed the mix of discussion, lecture style, and exercises. While a lot of the concepts weren't entirely new to me it was really good to have a coherent and complete view of it, solidifying the knowledge and understanding the reasons behind them better. Kevin did a great job at keeping us engaged throughout.
Learning about how to make react apps more performant and how we should measure.
Learnt new react techniques and can go away and research more.
Kevin was a fantastic teacher. It's often hard for me to concentrate for long periods of time but Kevin was great at keeping the lessons engaging and interesting even for harder TS concepts. I also like that it taught us so much about TS is just three days. It will definitely take some time and practice to implement TS with little difficulty in my work, but this course boosted my confidence in using TS :)
The instructor was brilliant and friendly, his approach to TDD felt more relevant to my day-to-day life than other explanations I'd seen before which I really appreciated. It's made TDD feel more practical and grounded for me. I appreciated that there was a range of activities including a chance to try things out myself. I also appreciated being put into small groups rather than pairs which made discussion easier. I also appreciate the further reading recommendations and lots of resources to refer back to. I appreciated that the session was engaging and interactive without it feeling forced, with regular breaks.
I try to blog regularly with a mix of tutorials, helpful articles and thoughts about tech and life. Here are my latest posts:

I spend most of my time teaching and coaching teams inside of medium to large organisations. I also run workshops and speak at conferences.
I use what I create and discover with live groups to build out pre-recorded courses.
I'm most active on Bluesky and less so on Mastodon . I also have a YouTube channel where I post videos tech tutorials. My Github profile is also here.
