Psst, want to learn about IT...the Tech for Non-Tech course is a steal

 

Now, knowing how to code won't necessarily be required for success in a future digital world. Butknowing how the IT layers fit together is required in order to fully participate.

Which is why you'd have to say the upcoming Tech for Non-Tech intensive course is a steal.

At $499 + GST the Enspiral Dev Academy programme is, from what it promises to deliver, extremely good value formoney.

It aims to create an empathetic bridge between what business owners want and how and how long arethe complexities of delivering a digital product across the web or within the business.

Based on the observations that:

  • how businesses create their own digital footprints is a complex beast

  • thesedigital footprints are created by another sort of beast – techy-types, coders, IT

  • and different languages are spoken by the participants

  • then this is a goodinitiative


Put another way, there's often a huge disconnect betweenwhat non-techy people want, and how long they think it will take to be delivered, and the actualhand-to-hand combat of putting a complex project together – which almost invariably grows as thenon-tech people expand its scope.

So, plenty of room for misunderstanding, whichis where the Enspiral Dev Academy is hoping to bring some clarity.

This Tech for Non-Tech is 5 x 90 minute sessions, including over a full day.

It is looking to build understanding in the first instance, of what it takes to put in place anew digital strategy – at whatever level.

By understanding both the layers of IT, and the process by which those layers come together inany project, participants can share common ground.

Among the digital learning is:

  • learn language used in tech builds (learn your forks from your servers)

  • beable to empathise with, and understand developers

  • understand technical productplanning


This course, spearheaded by Kate Beecroft, Silvia Zurr, Joshua Vialand Charles Munat is part of the ongoing metamorphosis of Enspiral. Here's a blog I did a few years ago on them. The first course starts on October 27, withmore scheduled as demand grows.

In part this education initiative grew out of the Open Source Open Society conference in April

It is also part of a BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) that the Enspiral Dev Academy has - togrow Wellington in the tech capital of the South Pacific.

If you're going to dream, you might as well dream big!
