Great idea! Developing developers adds resilience and comradery to our community.
What Ideas Do You Have for the Program? Consider opening up to guest speakers and guest content content contributors.
How Do You Prefer to Learn? For me its experience. I like to take an example and work with it - bend it, change it, add to it, often even breaking it. The most memorable experiences for me happen around troubleshooting why something isn't working and finding the fix - that feeling, the catharsis of victory seems to cement the experience.
Videos are helpful, though its when I engage my hands and right brain in doing that I start to take up the knowledge and own the concepts, e.g. lab-based exercises.
An online "Coding Playground" the compiles and runs OS Business Rule/Assembly code could be a way for people with less access to a running application to hone their skills, collaborate, and share.

Hi there Robb!
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. It's great to hear your enthusiasm for developing developers and building a resilient community.
I appreciate your ideas for the program, especially the suggestion to include guest speakers and content contributors. It's always valuable to bring in diverse perspectives and expertise.
Your preferred learning method is interesting and resonates with many. Hands-on experience and troubleshooting can indeed create memorable and impactful learning moments. Videos and lab-based exercises are excellent tools for engaging both the mind and hands.
The concept of an online "Coding Playground" sounds fantastic. It could be a great way for individuals to practice, collaborate, and share their skills, especially for those with limited access to running applications.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Looking forward to more great ideas from you.
Best, Melanie Latin, Developer Education Manager | OneStream
