WHY HAVEN’T YOU LEARNED IT YET?
“There's an unlimited
number of things to
learn, so knowing
where to start is
daunting.”
“I need to be taught. I
don't learn well from books
unless I'm furthering
knowledge that's already in
my brain. So if I didn't have
someone literally teaching
me step-by-step, I never
would learn.”
“I need someone to
find a class and say it
happens at this time,
for this long and it
costs this much
and I would be in.”
“I need [help/support] to find
[a resource] at [a date], for
[length of time] for
[monetary value] and I’m
[confirmation exclamation]!”
“Jenn told me about a
Girl Develop It Class
on June 6th, for 4
hours for 80 bucks
and I’m totes in!”

“It will show you how to use simple,
inexpensive tools to make web pages
that shine: pages that look great,
load fast, connect to each other
in intuitive ways, and above all
CONVEY SOMETHING WORTHWHILE
to your chosen audience.
Because it's not about dancing baloney
and flashing lights, it's about
COMMUNICATION AND SHARING.
This is our medium – perhaps the most
open and democratic medium the
world has yet known.
IT BEHOOVES US TO USE IT WELL.”
DANCING BALONEY FTW?

SOME PEOPLE DID NOT THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA
•Underestimates time it takes to learn code
•There's no help with definitions or concepts
•There's no help at all
•Badges aren’t enough incentive
•Boring content
•No use case for lessons learned
•A tool seeking a problem
•Reciting code, not understanding code
•Unnecessary skill
•Implies that there's a thin, easily permeable
membrane between learning to program and
getting paid to program professionally

BAD EDUCATION HURTS.
1.BEING BADLY EDUCATED HAMPERS YOUR ABILITY TO SCORE A GOOD JOB.
2.INACCURATE REFERENCES SLOW DEVELOPMENT AND CAUSE COSTLY QA LOOPS.
3.LEARNING KEY WEB DEVELOPMENT IDIOMS SLOWLY OR INCORRECTLY PUTS YOU YEARS BEHIND YOUR OWN COLLEAGUES.

I've worked my way through
all the "Getting Started with
Programming" lessons and
I've even tackled the
Intermediate Javascript
course. I've got badges. I've
earned achievements. And I
don't know shit.

FOCUS ON REAL USE CASES
INFORMATION-BASED LEARNING
Focuses on the delivery of
information by the teacher through
lectures, notes, etc. and its recall by
the student
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
In a problem-based learning (PBL) model, students
engage complex, challenging problems and
collaboratively work toward their resolution.
PBL is about students connecting
disciplinary knowledge to real-world
problems—the motivation to
solve a problem becomes
the motivation to learn.
“My biggest barrier was that I
didn't know where to start. I
read articles, did tutorials, and
watched videos, but I wasn't
sure of what I should focus on,
so I felt like I wasn't
progressing
It was incredibly valuable
having a curriculum to follow.”
- Yesenia Perez-Cruz
