We are looking for students who are programming almost every day, can find a solution to the coding problems they bump into, but have the clear feeling that there must be a better, more efficient, way of doing things. You don't dare to call yourself a programmer because you taught yourself how to program in a learning-by-doing fashion? You know that if you could have one week full-time dedicated to learning best practices you could significantly improve the quality and the efficiency of your coding efforts? You would like to become more confident in programming so that you can help your fellow students/ | We are looking for students who are programming almost every day, can find a solution to the coding problems they bump into, but have the clear feeling that there must be a better, more efficient, way of doing things.

The school is not meant to be a free training alternative to the many excellent commercial offers with which we can not and do not want to compete. But if you are doing some kind of research in the company and you are nurturing your programming skills on a personal level you are welcome to apply: we already had several students from companies. | The school is not meant to be a free training alternative to the many excellent commercial offers with which we can not and do not want to compete.

Because if you don't know it already, a day-long lecture is not enough to understand it and use it efficiently. The very same lecture would be, on the other hand, terribly boring for those who know OOP already. There are many programming paradigms that would be worth teaching: Functional Programming, | Because if you don't know it already, a day-long lecture is not enough to understand it and use it efficiently.
