Learning to code isn't hard when you have the right process
Goselftaught.com gets programmers laser-focused on the simple actions that create big reactions.
You'll find our students building real projects, and learning essential skills like how to use version control, not learning complex theory and math they don't need to know in practice.
Self-taught programmers are a new breed of programmer. We do things differently. We don't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and four years of our lives to learn to program. We learn to program from the comfort of our own homes. And we don't waste their time on complex theory; we study what we need to know on the job.
Become professional programmers
Goselftaught.com provides the guidance self-taught programmers need to thrive. When you are learning to program, there is so much noise. We help you get laser-focused on what you need to learn to program professionally.

Freelance Software Engineer
Software engineers design, construct, test, and maintain computer programs. Freelance software engineers work for themselves, not for one company. Whether that means building a web scraper for a new client or improving an algorithm for a new product at a startup.
Average salary: $129,544.
Data Scientist
There is a massive shortage of data scientists in the job market. Data scientists are responsible for gleaning insights from large data sets. For example, data scientists at Netflix are responsible for using data to determine which shows you might like, based on the shows you've viewed in the past.
Average salary: $119,512.

The Self-Taught Programmer Revolution
Naysayers love preaching that you can't get a programming job without a computer science degree. That is not true. Not only can you get a job without a computer science degree; some of the most successful people in the world are self-taught programmers. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of Facebook, Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder of Apple, and Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder of Twitter, are just a few examples of astronomically successful self-taught programmers.
Our courses will give you a solid foundation to program professionally, either as a software engineer, data scientist or in another profession where you can use your programming skills to excel.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't learn to program, or that companies won't take you seriously. According to the Wall Street Journal, by 2020, there will be one million unfilled programming jobs in the United States. With such a severe shortage of programming talent, companies cannot afford to ignore us. They cannot afford not to take us seriously. They need us. Are you ready to join the legends?

I can't thank you enough for creating Five-Week Coder. The way you teach is exceptional. Anyone can understand it. You just have to have the drive to want to learn. Believe in yourself, and you can accomplish anything. The group is amazing and ready to help you without making you feel bad for asking questions. I love it that Cory is active and willing to help as well. This program is worth it. I am a computer science major, and I can say that I have learned more about coding with this course then I have learned in the past two years at my university. Thank you again.

I'm a father, a husband, a minister of the Gospel, I'm in the military, and I'm a graduate student as well. So what I don't have is time. The Five-Week Coder program of Cory Althoff is exactly what I have been looking for. I'm learning the essential things that will prepare me for a career as a software engineer even though I'm short on time. As busy as I am, this program is designed to make me learn something every day. I can ask any question I have and always rely on the support and encouragement to get to the next level.

Cory I just want to take the time to thank you very much for giving us this space! And for putting together your course. I finished that today! Yay me! I can add Python to my arsenal and hopefully one day get a break and be able to work remotely from home. Thank you again!
- Steve K.
Ran my first code and it ran perfectly!! #HelloWorld #HappyProgrammer 😎

Cory teaches in a way that is easy to follow and his lessons are the perfect length. I was always able to get help from Cory himself. I am a stay-at-home mom and was able to finish the course in under 3 weeks (with a 2 year old crawling all over me!). Also after talking to a friend of mine who is a Computer Science tutor, I know that I learned more about Python in this program then I would have had I chose to go to a community college and pursue a degree in Computer Science!

Hey Cory,
I can't tell you how much this group helped me when I was starting out as a programmer. This was one of the best resources I had to find information and learn about the fundamentals of programming that most programmers take for granted. I am now being bombarded by recruiters for different positions.
