Can't find a gift for that special programmer?

Give the gift of Knowledge

High quality content for programmers without a CS degree

I have been creating content since 2004, and love the process of writing, editing, and recording. I also love to share what I've learned over the years - especially with others like me: programmers without a CS degree.

The best gift you can give: hope



The process is simple: add your special person's name and email below, and you're all set.

Everything from CS theory to databases to shell scripts. I even have interview tips from Jon Skeet! 


This is not a subscription you'll be paying over time. This is the gift of a single year, and it's up to your friendo to renew if they want.

Got Questions? I've Got Answers!

You're giving more than a gift - you're giving back time and offering someone a way forward in their career. But there are a few details to iron out before we do this:

  • Is this a subscription and will I be charged again?
    NO. This is a ONE TIME PURCHASE and your special person will be able to renew their subscription if they want. I offer discounts if that's their choice, either way it won't involve you.
  • Will they have access to my billing information?
    NO. This is a one-off "product purchase" through my payment processor, ThriveCart. They send along a web hook to let me know you bought the product, then I set up a custom account in my content platform, Ghost. No information from you is saved.
  • Will they know I bought this? Do you send an email?
    NO. No emails are sent to the gift receiver. That part is up to you, and we have a few ideas! I'll set you up with custom graphics and everything so you can let them know yourself, however you choose.
  • How do I buy for multiple friends?
    I don't have any bulk offers in place, but if you want to do a bulk thing, I can set up multiple accounts for you at a discount. This will involve CSVs and some manual work on my end, but I'm happy to do what I can.
  • Can I have a discount?
    YES! Just buy yourself a membership on my site and you'll get a discount code for giving a gift. You're so nice!
