This course aims to engage learners with little or no programming experience to create Java programs. Participants are introduced to object-oriented programming concepts, terminology and syntax, and the steps required to create basic Java programs using the Alice and Eclipse interactive development environments. Hand-on practice enables learners to experience the power of computer programming.

The JavaTM programming language can be challenging for computer programmers with limited or no experience in object-oriented programming. To provide an easy introduction to Java, Alice is explored first in this course, so that fundamental principles and skills are established using 3D animations in a fun, visually rich environment.

When learners become familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming, they can proceed with the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), which is widely used in computer programming. It contains a basic workspace and an extendable plug-in system for customising the environment.

The content and pace of the course is adapted to the age and needs of the learners.

Python is the programming language these days. It is simple, nice and almost all modern applications use it. With Python, we can now create artificial intelligence models that reduce human effort and give us more accurate and reliable results. The Java and C languages are not lacking in importance, they also make it possible to create applications optimized in terms of RAM.

The composition of the course depends on the level of the student and his own objectives. The first session is a one-hour evaluation session which allows the diagnosis of the level and the needs of the student. From this diagnosis we establish together a program that we will follow during our course.

Generally the course allows the student to assimilate:
* Predefined Data Types & Variables;
* Conditional Structures & Loops;
* Functions ;
* Object-oriented programming (OOP);
* Digital engineering;
* An introduction to databases (Examples and uses)
* Relational Algebra
* LDD, LCD, LMD, LCT
* SQL queries (SELECT, UPDATE, ...)
* Creation of a database and automation of queries using the Python language
* Handling files (TXT, Excel, CSV, JSON, Word);
* Data science;
* Introduction and some applications of Artificial Intelligence.

I am waiting for you to start this adventure.

Your project is broken? Deadline approaching? Can't deploy? I help developers and students fix bugs, optimize code, and deploy applications to production.
I Specialize In:

Emergency Debugging: Find and fix errors fast (frontend crashes, backend timeouts, database issues)
Deployment Rescue: Get your app live when nothing works (AWS, Vercel, Netlify)
Performance Optimization: Speed up slow applications (database queries, API responses, bundle size)
CI/CD Setup: Automate your deployment pipeline (GitHub Actions, testing, monitoring)

Common Problems I Solve:

❌ "My app works locally but crashes in production"
❌ "Database queries are too slow"
❌ "Authentication isn't working"
❌ "Can't deploy to AWS / Vercel"
❌ "Getting weird errors I don't understand"
❌ "Payment integration (Stripe) not working"

Technologies I Work With:

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vue, Angular
Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Express, Python (Django, Flask)
Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
Cloud: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3), Vercel, Netlify, Render
DevOps: Docker, CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Nginx

Perfect For:

Students: Fix your project before the deadline
Junior Developers: Debug production issues you can't solve alone
Freelancers: Get unstuck on client projects fast
Startups: Fix and deploy your MVP without hiring a full-time engineer

How It Works:

Live Debugging Session: We fix it together via screen share
Code Review: I show you how to prevent the issue in the future
Documentation: You get a summary of what was fixed and why

Average Resolution Time:

Simple bugs: 1-2 hours
Deployment issues: 2-3 hours
Complex debugging: 3-5 hours

Urgent projects accepted (same-day availability for emergencies).
