Block 1: Modern Backend Foundations

My name is Rabia and I participated in the Java Developer course with Andreas starting January 2022 after 20 years in the banking and finance industry. Previously had no experience whatsoever in the IT world, but chose the track with the digitization the world is going through. The course was incredibly broad & intensive and gave a good overview. When the course was over, I was hired by Capgemini as a junior developer. During the course I probably complained many times about how much information it presented, but I have benefited greatly from everything I have been taught. I continue to learn every day but have an understanding that still amazes me when I realize how much I brought with me. Thanks Andreas for everything! The course has given me the opportunity to pursue a new career in a new industry that I love. The change has given me new energy and opened up new doors. I am so grateful!

As one of Andreas's former Java students who landed a job in the field after graduation, I can attest to the fact that he's an inspiring and knowledgeable teacher. Andreas is an expert in his field, always joyful and optimistic, and great at feedback. With his fast-paced teaching style, he will keep you on your toes and ensure that you're always engaged in the learning process (Believe me!! 😉). Not only is Andreas a fast speed educator, but he's also eager to adapt his way of educating so that it's universal to all students. He understands that everyone learns differently and is always looking for ways to make the material accessible to all learners 👍. Andreas is also committed to making sure that you get to know a little bit of everything in the world of Java. His comprehensive approach ensures that you'll gain a broad understanding of the subject, from the basics to more advanced concepts.

Andreas is a very positive and easy-going individual, but above all a fantastic educator. His teaching method and structure is adapted for everyone from beginners to experienced participants. Quick to provide personal assistance, called up on video chat and took his time. I appreciated all the Java days, I am so satisfied and grateful with the foundation I got with me. Strongly recommend. Rating 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is clear that Andreas has a great passion and a genuine interest in the success of his students. He has really influenced and inspired me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm a senior software engineer whose main languages are TypeScript and Python. I recently joined a new team that's very Java-heavy, and I spent a long time trying to find something that was the right skill level for me to learn Java. Everything I found seemed too basic and was explaining things like the concepts of variables, or assumed too much knowledge and was too difficult. I'm so pleased to have found Actlea; it was precisely what I needed to get up to speed. Andreas was great and found an excellent balance of explaining the language-specific features while assuming some prior knowledge. If you're already familiar with one or more languages and need to get up to speed quickly in Java, this is the course you're looking for. The cadence and pacing of the class is perfect, engaging, and thorough, and I have the tools I need now to delve deeper into this language and make an impact on my team. Thanks, Andreas, for putting this together!

Andreas is a fantastic teacher! In addition to the fact that I experienced him as competent with a solid knowledge of his subjects, he really excels as an educator. Regardless of who you are or what level of knowledge you are at, Andreas always responds to one's questions with commitment, curiosity and a positive attitude that is contagious. Above all, I appreciated that he both gave me space to explore solutions myself and think creatively, while he was always there to contribute his support. I highly recommend Andreas!

Andreas is a fun and dedicated teacher who always took time for questions. When you needed help, you always got it, no matter how long it took. Andreas has a cheerful mood that is contagious, which means that there was always a pleasant atmosphere during his lectures. He is very educational in his way of being, which makes it easy to absorb the information.

What makes Andreas such a good teacher is that his understanding of the subject is so clearly visible. If you ask a question that only scratches the surface of a problem, you can be sure that you will get an answer where Andreas makes sure that you not only understand the short answer, but also a developing answer where he explains why it works this way and what the underlying structure of this is. Andreas has a way of breaking down even more complex problems into more manageable pieces for us students.

I recently had the pleasure of being a student of Andreas and I cannot speak highly enough of his skill and professionalism. Throughout the training, Andreas demonstrated a deep understanding of Java programming and was able to convey complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. His ability to break down difficult topics and explain them in a clear and concise manner was truly remarkable. Overall, I would highly recommend Andreas as a teacher of Java programming. His skill and professionalism make him an exceptional educator, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him. If you are looking for a teacher who is knowledgeable, patient and passionate about teaching, Andreas is the perfect choice.

I thought it would be almost impossible to learn everything that was going to be covered in the three months we had. But Andreas broke it all down and explained in such a way that you understood and adjusted the pace of the training while making sure that all subjects were covered. It is obvious that he has a lot of knowledge and enjoys teaching.
