Khodani Tshisimba
I was introduced to programming whilst pursuing a degree in Electronic Engineering at the University of Pretoria. I loved it so much that I decided to change degrees to a Bachelors in Information Technology majoring in Software Development. Throughout most of my years in varsity, we coded in JAVA and SQL and touched on other languages such as C#, C++, XML and web development languages.
I joined Leading Training in 2020. Over the past 3 years I've been focused on back-end development using a PHP framework called Laravel while interacting with databases using SQL. Some other responsibilities have included API interactions, plugin development and Android APP development.

Details
All programming languages require a set of skills, as well as a certain approach or way of thinking. Once a user has acquired these skills, learning the specifics of any programming language becomes a whole lot easier. The Python programming language lends itself to teaching the basic programming skills that all programmers require. It is easy to learn, implements multiple programming paradigms, and has a shell that allows users to try out their code interactively.
This short instructor-led training course uses Python’s strengths as a beginner’s programming language to gently introduce the aspiring programmer to the art of coding. You will find these classes non-threatening and surprisingly easy.
