Tim Corey

Hi, I'm Tim Corey.

I learned software development the hard way, with lots of dead-ends, confusion, and knowledge gaps. I kept thinking, “It shouldn't be this hard!” Now I teach students how to think and code like professional developers. My goal is to make it easier for you to become a developer.
