Organizing Course and Hackathon for Students in Czechia

More students are waiting for their programming experience! This time, InterSystems corporation with myself as a teacher organized a course in Europe in Brno, Czechia. I was teaching a basic course of InterSystems Caché technology, web technologies and basic programming practice.

Some of the students had no prior programming experience at all, and during the one-week course of intensive training with practical exercises, they did a great job!

At the end of the course, we had a two-day hackathon. Students formed their teams and selected the project topics they would work on throughout the hackathon. In the end, 5 teams gave their presentations and did a surprisingly perfect job! Some of the most notable projects were Caché Redis, Translator, and others. It was outstanding to see that people who were not familiar with programming achieved such great results.

Here's some (anonymized) feedback received from my students:

• Good, experienced trainer. What I like the most - the ability of the teacher to explain complicated things in simple words, it's very important for students.
• Nikita was very good teacher.
