"I have honestly been trying to get into the coding world for the past year but I've always felt so lost! There is so much information on the internet that it is overwhelming, I had no idea where to even start.

I learned more from Dr. Emily's live than I have in months of Google searches! I now have a clear path and goals to get started, which feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders." - Cristina C.
"I've learned more from Dr. Emily in 2 hours than in years of watching YouTube videos." - Shelley N.
"I can feel the support and the desire for us to succeed. 🔥" - Stephanie C.

Join us at the next LIVE Masterclass to find out...

Do you have what it takes to become a six figure software developer?

In this live masterclass training, Dr. Emily will walk you through the exact steps you need to follow to get over the hump and start getting the dream job offer you've been looking for.

Whether you're just getting started or have been on the job market for what seems like an eternity, we'll show you exactly what you need to know - which languages, which tools, which frameworks - and share exactly how we guide our students to consistently land job interviews and offers.

The only way for a coder to get production-level experience is by working on a team to deliver software at scale – something in short supply in most degree programs & bootcamps. Experience with the tools and technologies programming teams use in their staging & deployment process is critical to success at the technical interview. After all, anyone can say they know these tools, but have they used them? Can they talk about their experience with them in the high stakes environment of a job interview?

Join us in this free training where we'll cover what employers expect you to know about deploying web sites & apps, and learn how you can fast-track your hands-on experience with these technologies before your next job interview.

You’ll Learn:

How to be one of the 0.04% successful job applicants
who get invited to interview instead of the 99.6% who don't.
Exactly what tech skills employers are looking for and the best way to learn these languages, tools, and frameworks so your skills are always current for the job market.
The fastest way to gain experience and confidence to shortcut the tech interview process.
Why watching coding tutorials stops you from gaining the practical skills you need to improve, and what to do instead.
Why the top software companies in the US no longer require a computer science degree (Every tech recruiter knows this).
Why do some developers get stuck in a $50k job for years while others enjoy earning as much as $100k+ in their first year as a developer.

Meet Your Host: Dr. Emily

Dr. Emily is a tech educator, business owner, singer, and mother of 5. With her innovative TechJoy Career Academy, Dr. Emily is transforming the software engineering education landscape by reinventing Tech Ed for the 21st century. Her flagship training program, The Joy of Coding Academy, trains the software innovators of tomorrow by delivering custom business software today by teaching students the skills, confidence, and experience they need to succeed with guaranteed internships.

Dr. Emily began her career like many of her students -- wanting to learn to code and become a software developer. After earning 3 computer science degrees --- investing 10 years of her life and $244K in her education --- she recognized that the traditional university system was not designed to meet the education demands of a constantly-evolving field like technology. After teaching herself how to be a confident, self-sufficient developer, she went on a mission to teach anyone how to code, increase diversity in the tech world, and ultimately transform tech ed as we know it.

Thanks to Dr. Emily’s breakthrough teaching methods, hundreds of her students learn to build software faster and land six-figure developer jobs at Tech Startups and industry giants like Amazon and Chase.

What Students Are Saying

"Dr. Emily makes programming easy. She helps you visualize the road map & understand the process."

"Dr. Hill’s python course enhanced my problem-solving skills"

"Dr. Hill’s python course enhanced my problem-solving skills, which is very important for my career and life. Her mentor style helped me think through & solve puzzling problems. I still remember some of the exercises five years later!

The project experience helps a lot. It was the first time of doing a software engineering project for me. I learned how to design the back-end system and user experience. More importantly, collaboration with teammates and communicating with clients prepare me for future challenges."

Daniel X.

Former Student

"Her courses as engaging and interactive as possible"

"Dr. Hill did an amazing job making her courses as engaging and interactive as possible. Almost every interviewer I've had has asked about a project I've done for Dr. Hill's classes, and they were always very interested! If you're unsure about taking any of Dr. Hill's classes, you won't regret it!

Dr. Hill's software development course played a huge role in my college and early career as a professional. Having no internship experience coming out of college, it was this project and others like it that really helped me in getting the opportunities I did."
