60%+ of people who try to learn how to program end up quitting.
Why?
Is it because “programming just isn’t for everyone“?
Or is it because only those with experience in hard sciences can learn it?
No, neither of those are true. It’s simply due to the fact that the vast majority of people who try don’t have a basic understanding of the technology they’re going to use.
How exactly can you tackle responsive design if you don’t know how a browser works?
How are you going to create a desktop application if you don’t know what makes your computer freeze constantly (besides porn, obviously)?
How are you going to hide your confused facial expression the next time your site’s server crashes because of a “node socket problem” in your full stack Javascript?
If you’ve ever taken your computer to a technician and said “Make it work” or “It don’t work good. Me cry” then you’re exactly who needs this course.
Over the next 10 years the United States is expected to add over 2 million programming jobs. Jobs that pay well over $100,000 a year. And that’s just the United States (Merica’).
So if you’re trying to jump on the coding gravy train, put down your bronze statuette of Elon Musk standing on Mars, and start filling in the gaps in your “tech literacy”. Even if you yourself do not become a “coding ninja” yourself all the future coding ninjas you work with with thank you (and tell you to stop calling them coding ninjas).
About your instructor:
Hi, I’m Evan Kimbrell. I too struggled to learn the basics of programming. If failing to program were a sport, I’d be on the Dream Team.
Today, I run a web and mobile development agency called Sprintkick and over the last 4 years we’ve built and managed over 100+ web & mobile applications.
How does one so technologically challenged manage to pull this off? Well, first off I would disagree with “technologically challenged” (come on) and second it was actually straight forward. I just had to spend a concerted amount of time learning what I needed to know about basic computer, web, and programming technology as well as modern technology trends and advanced concepts.
This course is an accelerated path designed to get you to “I get it” and finally start communicating correctly & effectively about technology.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in learning how to program that is already struggling or intimidated by the process
- Anyone who wants to better communicate with development teams they work with
- Anyone who wants to hire, vet, & manage developers more effectively
- Anyone who is simply interested in getting an in depth understanding of modern web & mobile technology trends

Although this isn’t my very first course in learning programming, the instructor was meticulously on point with the curriculum from the very start… and very funny. He was very knowledgeable in the subject and even provided great resources to help startup my career as an aspiring web developer. Some of the resources may be old but it’s not the instructor’s fault. Although I’m finish with this course, I would even do a refresher of this course if need be. I would definitely recommend this beginner-friendly course to any individual who dreams of becoming an aspiring programmer! ?

Im considering a career change and just dipping my toe into the world of tech – Evan made this video really fun, interesting and pretty easy to follow along. I learned a lot – thank you!

Thanks for making the content accessible to a lay person who didn’t know where to start. I look forward to continue learning and also take other lectures of yours!

Instructor is easy to understand, light-hearted, and fun. But sometimes it feels like he’s cutting corners and being lazy with some things. It’s understandable to make things simple because this is, after-all, a beginner’s course. But some of the explanations feel like they’re cut short just because he doesn’t feel like elaborating more. Also, leave politics out of your educational content. It’s one thing to be relatable, but it’s another thing to continually make political innuendos during your lectures – comes across as rude and unprofessional.

Wow. What a nice Pre-Programming Course for a Beginner before starting courses related codings. What to do first? What to do later? these all types of questions were answered so simply that anybody can plan from where to begin from which basics. Nice.
Thanks to Udemy team for providing such a nice Pre-Programming course of Evan Krmbrell, in your platform.
Christopher McManus –
Great teacher. Loved the class.
Only reason I didn’t give it because he got political in a few things he said. Statements of Trump plus China taking over. I am for neither but I came to learn the course and not hear about politics or his opinion to them.
Other than that he is amazingly funny, I plan on taking another course by him.

The information presented in this course was concise, easy to follow and useful. Useful even in day to day life in understanding the world in which I flounder, but an essential foundation to start my journey. Thrilled to have found this course.

Happy to have a course specifically for the “coding curious” among us. Full of resources, easy to follow, and content was fairly evergreen/context aware (I am viewing this material a while after original course creation so while some references may feel dated, which is not insignificant for web dev trends) Not a blocker though.

The instructor was great and kept my attention throughout the entire course. I’m glad I decided to take this course before jumping into learning a language.
