GitHub Training in Non-Traditional Schools

GitHub values traditional computer science education while also embracing alternative training models for new programmers, such as Massively Open Online Courses, online platforms like Udemy and CodeSchool, in-person workshops like Girl Develop It, and immersive programs like Dev Bootcamp and the Flatiron School. The author, Tim Berglund, describes his experience teaching a Git class at gSchool, a non-traditional web development program in Denver, where students undergo six months of intensive training with a focus on real-world technologies and practices. During his session, Berglund imparted advanced Git knowledge to students who were already familiar with the basics, providing them with deeper insights and practical tips. This engagement highlighted the potential of non-traditional education models to complement or even challenge conventional computer science degrees, as the industry explores new ways of training programmers. The ongoing evolution of these educational approaches suggests a dynamic future for computer science learning, with GitHub keenly participating and offering training opportunities.
