About the provider
Dave Briccetti teaches the program. A testimonial from Andrew Klingler of Lafayette says that he spans instruction from "Hello world video game lab" to "Build a web app using Flask and PostgreSQL" and beyond.
He trains students to write high-quality code and teaches software engineering principles like DRY. He encourages and models ethical behavior, including showing students where to find music, art and sound effects that are public domain or Creative Commons–licensed and crediting those whose work they build upon.
What families say
“Dave Briccetti is a real community resource. As needed he spans the instruction range between “Hello world video game lab” and “Build a web app using Flask and PostgreSQL” and beyond. His classes are fun yet focused. My son and his friends look forward to spending some of their Saturday time learning with Dave.” — Andrew Klingler, Lafayette
