the problems to solve.
Acquire real-world skills,
in a real-world
development environment.
Turn new hires into productive developers. Fast.
Empower System Administrators, Quality Assurance and Data Science teams with independence of developer resources.
Become fluent in Perl or Python, and have proof that you are.
Your project is to develop a command-line script which takes information about a location - like the town name or coordinates - and finds the nearest airports.
You develop a game where you enter an art gallery with your partner at hand, and a thousand dollars in your pocket. Will you trade your way to fortune or leave empty handed?
Your project is to build a command-line script that loads real Spotify usage data and lets the user query and analyse it. You’ll use Pandas to clean the data, extract insights, and present useful information based on the user’s input.
You already write software. Geekuni is for developers who need to master a new language quickly and thoroughly, without wasting time on beginner material.
The focus is on efficient, professional learning:
"Through years of academic training, I identified what actually slows developers down when learning a new language. Geekuni removes those blockers, getting you to real-world proficiency without unnecessary detours."

... there's a lot going on there. I finished both the Perl Essentials and Web Developoment courses. I've found both courses to be excellent and well worth the costs in money, time, and effort.
Tom's been doing Perl for about a week now, and he did Andrew's Geekuni course. He was well prepared for Perl, and seems to be coping with what we're throwing at him just fine. It also sounds like he enjoyed the course. Good stuff!
This course is what I have been looking for ... a Perl course with exercises and a mentor to guide me.
The Dancer Web Development course was really well made. Finally an environment in which I can learn by doing at my own pace!
This method of training is great, and the way Geekuni has been implemented on top of Moodle is excellent - it really accommodates the learning tempo of different students.
Perl Essentials is a great tutorial that allows you to work "hands on" in a real Linux environment. I'm glad to have found it.
Dancer Web Development is a very comprehensive course, delivered with a well-integrated learning environment.
It was very enjoyable, and I learnt more than I expected. Also, Geekuni is probably the best learning tool I've ever used!
I learned more in that first course than I had throughout my entire college career.
