About
Us

There’s never been more energy around the importance of learning to code.

But sometimes online tutorials, one-day workshops and Stack Overflow don't cut it. Neither do most university or college courses, in our opinion. At HackerYou, we're on a mission to offer the best learning experience for anyone who wants to learn to code. The recipe? Hands-on, project based learning from industry-leading professionals. Small classes, and a 10:1 ratio (or better!) of students to instructors. Hosted in learning environments that inspire. And because (most of) our courses are part-time in the evenings, HackerYou fits into your life. Make 2013 the year you finally learn to code, so that you can climb the corporate ladder, upgrade your skills, or start an exciting new career. Check out our upcoming courses here.

Our
Team

We’re Heather, Breanna, Laura and Melissa. We’re the team that introduced Ladies Learning Code in 2011. Since then, over 4000 women (and men) across Canada have participated in one of our workshops, and we’re using what we’ve learned to make HackerYou the best possible learning experience for anyone who wants to learn how to code. After running three incredibly successful, sold-out courses, we're currently accepting applications for our fourth and fifth cohorts. Learn more about our upcoming courses.
