Kaamraan R - Tutor in Century City
I'm really passionate about programming - especially Python and Java. Along with teaching you the fundamentals of programming, I'll also teach you to enjoy it. I can show you a bunch of useful and exciting tools to speed up the process. I can teach you about Git, Linux, APIs, and many more technologies that are becoming very important to know if you're looking to start a career in tech. I started getting into programming about 5 years ago, and I recently graduated from a Software Engineering Bootcamp at HyperionDev. Since then, I've been getting into Django (a Python framework for web development) and Docker (a tool for containerization, making it easier to run programs on different systems), and I hope to help more people learn to love programming.

Python
Python is known for being a language that's easy to read and easy to learn, and I'd love to make that process even easier for you. Python is currently my main language, and the language I've been using the longest. I can teach you the fundamentals of the language and how to code cleanly; I can show you how to set up a great free environment for coding in python, and extra tools to make coding much faster and more convenient; I can help you get started with projects in Django, and I can help you prepare for interview questions. Most importantly though, I can show you how much fun this language can be.

Java
Java can be an intimidating language, with it's curly braces and its public static void main(String[] args){ } I'm here to show you that it's not that scary at all, and that it can be just as easy to understand as Python. I'll help you understand everything from the absolute basics of the language, including how to set up Java and your IDE, through to the nitty gritty of important concepts like Object Oriented Programming and JUnit Testing.
