Incus Data
At Incus Data, we believe that good programming is both an art and a skill. We believe that training programmers and software developers in new skills - such as Java, C, C++ and web development - requires a different approach to training users. <p></p> User training involves training new users how to do a specific task. Training programmers, on the other hand, means <mark>training people to understand the methodologies, tools and thinking processes involved for a new language or technology, and how to apply these to real-world problems.</mark> <p></p> We also understand that training adults is very different to training children. For example, did you know that a lecturer has to repeat something more for adults than a teacher would have to for children?. <p></p> We teach you more than just a new programming language or technology. Our courses also teach you good coding practice and better ways to make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. <p></p> In the words of respected coding guru Rick Osborne: "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live." <p></p> Why? <mark>Because coding matters.</mark>
