There is no wrong age to learn to code

From the eight-year-old writing a first game to the adult changing careers and the team modernising its architecture: project-based software training backed by 10+ years of production experience in banking software.

Programmes by age and goal

Nobody starts from the same place or wants to reach the same one. Content, pace and tools are shaped by age group and goal; the one constant is building something that works in every lesson.

Children ages 8–12

Making their own games, animations and stories with Scratch and block-based programming. The goal is not memorising code but learning algorithmic thinking, sequences, conditions and loops, the way you learn a game.

  • Game and animation projects
  • Algorithmic thinking, logic, patience
  • A child who creates on screen instead of consuming
  • Regular progress summaries for parents

Teens ages 13–17

Real programming with Python, a first website (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and simple games. An honest answer to "is software for me?" before choosing a degree, and mentoring for project competitions.

  • Python fundamentals and small automations
  • A personal website and a game project
  • Support for hackathons and school projects
  • Guidance on university choices

University students and new graduates

Turning classroom theory into an employable skill: an end-to-end real project with .NET, React or Flutter; Git, testing, code review and a portfolio you can talk about in a job interview.

  • A project built on a real product scenario
  • Git, unit tests, clean code, CI
  • GitHub profile and portfolio preparation
  • Technical interview practice

Adults and career changers

Moving into software from another profession, or becoming able to code within your own job. A roadmap shortened to your goal, evening and weekend slots that fit a working life, and immediately useful skills such as moving from Excel to Python.

  • Goal-driven programme from zero
  • Automating Excel and reporting work
  • A first product on web or mobile
  • Mentoring during the job search

Professionals and corporate teams

Production-proven practices for teams that already write code: Clean Architecture and CQRS, test strategy, code-review standards, migrating to Flutter and AI-assisted development workflows (Claude, Copilot and agents).

  • Curriculum tailored to the team
  • Workshops on your own codebase
  • Analysis, testing and documentation with AI agents
  • On-site or online

Hobby learners and 50+

Software is not just for the young. A patient pace, plain language and small programs that help in daily life: a script that organises photos, a budget sheet, a personal web page. Confidence in the digital world.

  • Unhurried, repeated explanations
  • Projects from everyday life
  • Plain language instead of jargon
  • One-to-one or small group

How we work

Instead of watching videos and forgetting, we build together in live lessons. Every step has a concrete output: a working program, a corrected assignment, a finished project.

  1. Introductory lesson

    A free 30-minute online session: goal, level and suitable hours.

  2. Personal roadmap

    A written programme by age and goal: topics, projects, duration and format.

  3. Live lessons

    Interactive, screen-shared lessons; each one ends with something built.

  4. Assignments and feedback

    Short assignments between lessons; feedback through professional code review.

  5. Final project

    A real project for the portfolio, a certificate of participation and guidance for what comes next.

Formats

  • One-to-one online: fully personalised pace and content; the most efficient format for children, career changers and busy professionals.
  • Small group (3–6 people): participants of the same age and level, with the motivation of learning together; siblings, friends, classmates.
  • Corporate team training: on-site or online workshops on your team's own codebase; the curriculum is written for your needs.
  • Workshops and camps: weekend workshops, summer and half-term camps; a concrete project in a short time.

What we teach

  • Beginner: Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, algorithms and problem solving.
  • Web and APIs: .NET Web API, React and TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Clean Architecture, CQRS.
  • Mobile: iOS, Android and web with Flutter; publishing to the stores.
  • AI-assisted development: productive work with tools such as Claude and Copilot, agent-based workflows, LLM integration basics.
  • Engineering practices: Git, testing, code review, CI/CD, security fundamentals.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior knowledge to learn programming?

No. Programmes start from zero; being comfortable using a computer is enough. In the free introductory lesson we assess your level together and draw up a roadmap that fits you.

Which ages do you teach?

Every age from 8 upwards. Scratch and block-based programming for children, Python and web for teens, .NET, React, Flutter and AI-assisted development for university students and adults, and architecture and quality training for corporate teams.

Where and how are lessons held?

Lessons are mostly online, live and interactive; in-person lessons in Istanbul and on-site corporate training are also possible. Every lesson ends with something built, with short assignments and code-review feedback in between.

How much does software training cost?

Pricing depends on the format (one-to-one, small group, corporate) and duration. After the free introductory lesson we send a written programme and quote; students receive a discount.

What is the right age for my child to start?

Eight is a good starting point for children who read comfortably and can focus for 30–40 minutes. For younger children we assess together in the introductory lesson and may suggest waiting a while.

Do you issue a certificate?

Those who complete a programme receive an Aydinfo certificate of participation and a portfolio page featuring their final project. A working project you can show matters more than a certificate in hiring, and the programme is built around that.

Let's do the first lesson together

Whatever your age, level or goal, a free 30-minute introductory lesson is where we find your starting point together.
