About The Author

Nick Walter: Nick Walter is an experienced mobile and web developer and has worked with technologies such as iOS, Android, Django, and Python.

He learned to code about seven years ago. He had limited access to training resources back then. Whilst he learned to code, he also realized the need to change the way that people learn to code. That’s when Nick took up teaching. His experience as an online student has definitely influenced his teaching style—he knows what it is like to be in their shoes.

He started his teaching career in 2014, with the Internet’s first Swift course. He now teaches a range of technologies such as iOS, Android, Django, Kotlin, Python, HTML, and Blockchain.
