I AM STARTING UP – HOW DO I START CODING? – Gautham Pai, Founder Jnaapti

 

 

 

 

 

Gautham Pai, an “Entrepreneur, Founder at Jnaapti, Tech coach, Blogger, Free Software Evangelist & Geek”. Through Jnaapti, he plans to bring in a radical new coaching/training hybrid (with a mixture of online and offline methods). Gautham has worked for IBM India Software Lab, and startups like Semgel Technologies  & Ugenie. He has also served as a corporate trainer and provided extensive training in client & server-side technologies, databases & system administration tools. He has a BE in Engineering (Computer Science) from Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering.

Gautham’s talk will aim to demystify the world of coding to the non-techie, give practical tips on where and how to get started, be both practical and motivational so participants can move from “I want to learn to code” to “I will code” this New Year. Please join us on the 20th of December 2014, 4pm.

The session gave practical steps to go from resisting programming to doing it. Here are the key Lounge47 takeaways:

1. Coding is not all that difficult; one needs to be curious and experimental.
2. There are many entrepreneurs who started out with no coding skills but ended up building great products.
3. Demand for programmers outstrips supply. Learning to code is a great way to control your destiny while controlling your burn.
4. Your Startup idea is great training ground. Combine your own research with speaking to peers and mentors to refine your path.
5. Don’t aim to build the perfect product but just enough to communicate your Startup idea, build a team and get investors interested.
6. “Learn to get things done” rather than “Learning for the heck of it”. Don’t get attached to one technology.
Starting up has never been easier or cheaper. Computing power, free software, free storage and free analytics – all of these can be leveraged to power your dreams.
