The trainer
My name is Thoms Bartsch and I work as a web developer in Nuremberg. My main technology stack is ASP.NET, Angular, SQL and CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Material. I am enthusiastic about great user interfaces – and teaching others to code.

How did the idea start?
On Christmas 2018 my family and I were talking about what would you do when you win in lotto (a german gambling) and literally everyone was saying „I would do something social or do others something good like saving animals and so one“.
I said I would teach some refugees to code. And in the following days I was thinking: ‚what holds me back – why on earth am I not doing this?‘
Well… here we are. :-)))

A big thank you goes to HackYourFuture, a project that inspired me and is one of the best concepts in my humble opinion. (does anyone see some similarities in the about text? Naaaah!) 🙂
I wish our project will become so huge as theirs!!!
Another big thank goes out to the twitter community, whose support was overwhelming when I first told about the idea. I will name some more twitter supporter soon! 🙂
Last but not least: Pablo Albella – we refer to his tutorial Angular 5 and ASP.NET Core.
