Recently laid off? Changing careers?
Just generally awesome?
Interested in coding but have no idea where to begin?
For the first 3 brave souls, $100 flat, I’ll personally turn your Mac or Windows computer into a clean, beginner-friendly coding workstation.
You will leave with (or I will leave you with):
• A properly configured coding environment
• Git, a professional code editor, and the languages needed for your goals
• A free AI-assisted coding option
• Your first working project
• A starter web application that belongs to you permanently
• A written cheat sheet showing how to start everything again
• A hands-on walkthrough so you understand what was installed
• One follow-up support session during the following week
You do not need any previous coding experience.
This is not a class filled with theory. We will work directly on your computer, build something real, and make sure you can open it, change it, and run it yourself.
PRIVACY AND OWNERSHIP
You keep control of your computer and enter your own passwords. I do not retain your files, credentials, or personal information.
I install legitimate, free, or open-source tools. There is no subscription required for the starter software I provide. Some optional third-party AI services offer paid upgrades, but I will never enroll you in anything without explaining it first.
PRICE
$100 flat for one setup session of up to three hours.
If your computer is not capable of running the required tools, I will tell you before we begin. No surprise charges and no unnecessary upgrades.
Available remotely or in person in the Tri-Valley/East Bay area.
To get started, reply with:
1. Mac or Windows
2. Your computer’s approximate age
3. What you would like to build or learn
4. Whether you prefer remote or in-person help
(We could also meet at a public place if your choice)
Beginners, career changers, and people starting over are welcome.
This will not magically guarantee you a job. It will remove the technical setup barrier and give you a real place to begin as a breakthrough technology gangster who is taking your future seriously.
