Have you tried mob programming basic katas together? It is a great way to start building up skills individually, while crushing problems as a group.

Once you get good at that, then you can start following tutorials about hosting applications and building cool things together.

This sounds fantastic! I’ll make note of it as something we can do together.

Thanks for the support!

We do this remotely at Skiplist. If you would like some guidance or pointers, feel free to find me on LinkedIn.
Not making promises, but I am working with my brother on building his programming muscles. Tomorrow morning, we will pair for 1-2 hours working on a small paying project. We could setup a time and could give my two cents on how to conduct a session and/or training programmers.

I’d love that, I really appreciate it. I’ll make note and reach out when I can.
