Maxim Shpital is a graduate of this year’s free CodingLab programming school and the only course participant who has completed training in mobile application development from start to finish online.
Maxim lives in the village of Novaya Shulba, East Kazakhstan oblast. This is a small settlement in the Borodulikha district with a total population of just over 3 thousand people. From Almaty, where CodingLab is physically located, it is about 1200 km away.
Maxim is 17 years old, he graduated from school this year and has already entered university.
— I learned about the CodingLab mobile application developer courses from my computer science teacher. She told that one can study at this programming school online. Without thinking twice, I agreed. It was interesting to try my hand, plus you don’t have to go anywhere,” says Maxim.
— The most challenging while studying at CodingLab is to understand the beginning, because without it nothing can be captured eventually. But despite the challenges, I still set a goal to complete my studies. I really wanted to promote my school, and simply learn something new.
At CodignLab I learned how to solve complex problems. This, in my opinion, is the most important thing in life. No one helped me; I tackled all challenges myself. I allocated my time so that everything was on schedule, and thus got the necessary hours for programming. School knowledge in physics, mathematics and programming — my favorite subjects — also came in handy.
I really liked the checkup tests after completing the modules. And, of course, the creation of my project QKSMS — a mobile application for people’s communication on the Internet.
If we talk about the choice of learning format — online or offline, I personally like mixed, because sometimes you really want to sit at home and not go anywhere, and sometimes it’s the other way around.
In the future I want to be a programmer and create something new for music. I am fond of music and want to promote it in the technological field. Therefore, I entered the university to major in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science.
We wish Maxim successful studies at the university!
