In today's information age, many are seeking to acquire new skills to keep up with the changing world and workforce, turning to online tech classes to gain new knowledge and a leg-up professionally. Currently in beta, education startup ClassCode is an Internet marketplace showcasing on-site professional workshops, specifically in San Francisco's Bay Area.
The platform lets you search by category, everything from 'Android' to 'Web' and content management systems to software engineering. Founded by Ali Mir, the new venture lets you filter by experience level and caters to your schedule by focusing on short (one to three hour) courses as well as daytime, noon, evening and weekend schedules. You'll also benefit from small class sizes, as the tech classes typically have a maximum of eight students.
