On the final day of launch, we're excited to share the launch of Academy, a hub for software developers to learn about best practices on DevOps, software development, and more about webapp.io as a product.

Why we launched Academy

We want to lead the way in teaching more useful, well-researched content that can help with the day-to-day job of a software developer. We started a pilot program last year with FreeCodeCamp, where we taught our course "DevOps Engineering". The reception was incredible with over 300,000+ views and quickly climbed to becoming one of the most popular videos on the channel.

After some feedback, we decided to revamp the course to a style that was going to be most helpful in helping developers level up. We knew we needed to incorporate the following elements:

• DIY opportunities: hands on experiments that are fun and engaging
• Memory triggers: quizzes throughout the course that can summarize your learnings
• Resume building: something you can put on your resume and/or Linkedin to signal to recruiters that you know your stuff
• A network: a community you can continue to learn from and share insights with

We relaunched the course using Thinkific to include these elements, and have a growing Slack community of software developers people can join to continue growing their network.

The future

We'll continue to make engaging technical and career-oriented content in video form in the coming months. Stay tuned by signing up for our newsletter.
