Education Links
Some content is aimed at UK Levels 3 to 5 (a-level to undergraduate) as commonly studied from the age of 16 to 20.
Educator Resources
Some source files are unavailable on this site to encourage students to code the work themselves (although copy-and-pasting is still possible).
If you are an educator then get in contact to receive access to these files. You will be asked to validate that you are a staff member before access is granted.
Software Developers Skill Shortage
There is an international skill shortage for software developers and the role is the second largest (after IT manager) in the UK's digital-tech industry.
Software developers in the UK on average get paid more than games or web developers, data analysts, network engineers, and IT managers.
Roles that pay more on average include cyber security analysts, business analysts and data scientists. Not surprising with an increasing reliance on big data systems and growing cyber crime concerns.
