About nerds.family

We are nerds.family - an ambitious startup aiming to change how people enter IT.

Rails for beginners

Start building your Backend Developer Career here. From the very beginning, you will enter a simply structured and guided project path. Within that, you will be enabled to build an advanced app for growing appreciation culture within a team and company (very much like https://bonus.ly). Moreover, you will implement a small e-commerce system with stock management, e-mail notifications, and a delivery system - all by yourself (while we’ll be having your back).

We are proud to launch our collaboration with the Pareja Family Foundation on one of our academies. The Pareja Family Foundation’s mission is to provide tools and opportunities for women & minorities to enter the tech sector and significantly increase earning potential. Through their Breaking Bias program qualified participants can attend upskilling bootcamps to obtain gainful employment in tech. Now partnering with nerds.family allows PFF widening the course offerings for those seeking a career as back-end engineer.

To learn more about PFF, please go to: https://parejafoundation.org/

Please note: the academy can be joined by any interested individual. There are no restrictions on participation; PFF-related participation is not obligatory. #learntogethergrowtogether
