Leverage agile frameworks to provide a robust synopsis for high
level overviews. Iterative approaches to corporate strategy foster
collaborative thinking to further the overall value proposition.
Organically grow the holistic world view of disruptive innovation
via workplace diversity and empowerment.
Bring to the table win-win survival strategies to ensure proactive
domination. At the end of the day, going forward, a new normal
that has evolved from generation X is on the runway heading
towards a streamlined cloud solution. User generated content in
real-time will have multiple touchpoints for offshoring.
Capitalize on low hanging fruit to identify a ballpark value added
activity to beta test. Override the digital divide with additional
clickthroughs from DevOps. Nanotechnology immersion along the
information highway will close the loop on focusing solely on the
bottom line.

Sources of motivation at a Coding Bootcamp
Published 1st September
It’s now week two of the Fast Track Bootcamp at Coder Academy in
Brisbane and already there are some tired eyes and minds in the
classroom.
I was lucky enough to score some tickets to Wordcamp Brisbane (Big
shout out to Steph!) which was held at QUT over the weekend. There
was a whole heap of awesome information to take in with a host of
awesome presenters at the event. Much of it was flying over my
head but it was exciting seeing all of the amazing things
happening across the industry.
Although the day to day early wake up and commute was a bit of a
shock to the system at first, I’ve started to adjust (thanks in no
small part to coffee!).
The bootcamp is well and truly getting into gear now as we’ve been
learning all about the powerful things we can do with object
oriented programming.
Although it hasn’t been easy jamming so much into my brain at
once, the course structure has made learning a fairly smooth
process. So although I don’t find myself struggling for motivation
at this point, I certainly have found myself being inspired. And
it’s not come from where I expected it.
The bootcamp attracts a diverse range of people from all walks of
life and it instantly becomes obvious that everyone learns
different things at their own pace. Where some might have excelled
at loops and flow control, they might now struggle a little with
composition and inheritance.
What I’ve found incredible to watch is that, of those struggling
at any given time, no one has a defeatist attitude. Perhaps even
more awesome to see is that those around them offer support and
guidance readily.
So, with a long way still to go I’m glad to be surrounded by a
wonderful group of people who are inspiring me everyday.

Coding Bootcamps, Meetups and .. Twitter?
Published 26th August
When I sat down in the Coder Academy classroom on Monday morning I
wasn’t sure what to expect. All I knew as that I was ready to jump
into the world of programming, Ruby, loops and everything in
between…
“You need to get Twitter!”
At first I thought maybe I’d mistakenly ended up in the wrong
classroom. It wouldn’t have been too far-fetched; I’d only arrived
in Brisbane 4 days prior after moving from the (relatively) sleepy
Central Queensland town of Rockhampton. The early start had me
feeling a little groggy.
After coming to my senses a bit more, I found out I was in fact in
the right place. What I discovered was that my outlook for the
course (and beyond!) was naive. Apparently there’s so much more to
coding than sitting in a dark corner with headphones on plugging
away at a keyboard endlessly!
Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating my naivety a little bit.
But I certainly wasn’t expecting there to be meetups and
networking events nearly every single day (with PIZZA AND BEER). I
had the fantastic experience of attending a Sectalks event last
night. I tagged along with fellow ‘developer in the making’
Santiago (Check out his great posts here!). Although most of the
presentation flew way over my head it was extremely interesting
getting a sneak-peek into some of the things happening in and
around Brisbane. There’s a bunch of awesome people doing some
pretty amazing things every day and I can’t wait to immerse myself
even further into the world of Brisbane tech.
All of this and I’ve barely even touched on the course itself! But
hey, there’s sure to be plenty of that to come.
If you’re interested in getting some insight into a coding
bootcamp at Coder Academy and life in Brisbane in general then
keep an eye out — I’ll be posting here about my journey throughout
the course.

get there!)
