AlbanyCanCode, a nonprofit organization creating a new generation of software coders in New York, today announced the opening of registration for its Spring 2021 courses, which include a first-ever class in Microsoft PowerPlatform and Microsoft Azure. All courses will be available to students from any region, with remote instruction continuing in the new year.
In addition to the inaugural Microsoft class, AlbanyCanCode is offering courses in Front-End Web Development and JavaScript Frameworks. Courses begin the week of February 1, 2021 and are held two nights per week, three hours per session, for 12 weeks.
Meanwhile, KingstonCanCode, which launched its initial course this fall, will host its second class, Python for Data Analytics, in the spring.
“We’re excited to offer a full complement of courses, and to make them available to students in any region, at a time when the business world is rapidly transitioning to a digital and online environment,” said Annmarie Lanesey, Founder and CEO of AlbanyCanCode and KingstonCanCode. “We have learned through the pandemic that virtual learning is effective, and recent hires of our graduates to remote positions demonstrate growing job opportunities for our students.”
AlbanyCanCode is excited to offer its first-ever course in Microsoft PowerPlatform and Microsoft Azure, which is focused on the fundamentals of both services and gears students toward certifications in both platforms. Students will learn how to leverage Microsoft Power Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, and Microsoft Power BI to help solve business challenges and answer business questions. The course will also cover cloud concepts, and the planning, pricing, and administration of Azure cloud services. The course will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays in partnership with SUNY Schenectady County Community College.
The Front-End Web Development course, which teaches technical skills necessary for user interface (UI) development and wire framing, will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays in partnership with Capital Region BOCES.
In JavaScript Frameworks, held Mondays and Wednesdays in partnership with SUNY Adirondack, students will take a more advanced dive into the dominant scripting tool for front-end web development. This course represents the more advanced of AlbanyCanCode’s two courses focusing on JavaScript.
All classes run from 5:45 to 8:45 p.m. Registration for AlbanyCanCode classes can be found here.
KingstonCanCode will offer a course in Python for Data Analytics, held Tuesdays and Thursdays in partnership with SUNY Ulster. In this course, students will learn the foundation of Python, with an additional focus on using the popular programming language for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing data. More information and registration for KingstonCanCode is available here.
AlbanyCanCode is committed to the mission of making the opportunity of a career in tech available to all people, and full-tuition scholarships are available for income-eligible individuals and veterans.
