About Piotr Jura and Fado Code Camp
Who am I and why I created the Fado Code Camp. Why I think you just found the best place to learn web development.
Why should you learn from the Top-Rated instructor?
Hey there! I'm Piotr Jura, a passionate developer and online web development instructor here and on Udemy, where I'm an Instructor Partner.
It's true that anyone can become an instructor on Udemy. What people don't know is it's a free market. On the free market, only the best thrive and survive.
One way to filter out bad apples, is by looking at reviews. Udemy is strictly filtering out the reviews. You can be sure that the top instructors are the ones people really like to watch.
But there's more. Udemy partners with the absolute top instructors. I'm one of these instructors. So while anyone can try their hand at making a Udemy course, less than 0,1% really succeed.
And the success is always owed to You, students. You choose the best instructors. No one's hand-picking the "best courses".
It's all based on your engagement and ratings. That's why you should learn from top instructors, like myself. I've been already verified by almost 60.000 students (actually, a lot of people buy multiple of my courses, so in terms of "sold copies" it's much more), who rated me 4.7/5.0.
Why have I created Fado Code Camp?
First off, if you're Portuguese - I took the name Fado from the music genre. I was listening to Fado a lot when I founded my company back in 2013. Hope you don't mind!
Fado expresses deep emotions and longings.
In my teaching, I aim to address a different kind of longing - the desire for clarity and simplicity in learning complex subjects.
I always loved making complex problems simple. Also, let me be honest: I was never keen on reading long-winded documentation pages or badly written books or manuals.
There's a reason people rarely read a manual.
Don't get me wrong, books are great. But some... just aren't.
I studied IT, to this day I can't forget the book on networking. It was ... crude. You really needed a lot of self-perseverance to get through it.
You see, some teachers, while they might be really great in their field, just don't care about teaching. They do it because they have to.
When you're a PhD, you need to teach students, can't just work on figuring out how to get to Mars all week.
Explaining the topics the way they can be understood by everyone, without people feeling foolish as they can't understand something is really hard.
I always felt I'm a fool as I couldn't get chemistry at school. You only start to understand when you're older that it wasn't me. It was the way they taught me. Raw, unengaging. Remembering stuff that I didn't see any value in, without any examples.
That's one of the reasons why I started recording video courses. And it turned out I'm good at it, that's what I heard from you, my students.
So I keep on doing what and trying to get better, every single day. That's all.
