Your project is to develop a command-line script which takes information about a location - like the town name or coordinates - and finds the nearest airports.
You develop a game where you enter an art gallery with your partner at hand, and a thousand dollars in your pocket. Will you trade your way to fortune or leave empty handed?
On completion of each course the tutor-bot will give you an EoC at no extra cost. You can then package your project and get certification through your mentor's formal assessment of your DCS.
Conceptually, programming is simple. Learning to code is hard. Geekuni provides the following foundations to accelerate the learning process:
Through years of training in academia I found what the real blockers are in learning a new programming language. I also learnt that with the right approach and support each step of the way you can avoid those blockers. Placing this knowledge in the context of online learning, Geekuni helps you acquire real-world coding skills - quickly!

... there's a lot going on there. I finished both the Perl Essentials and Web Developoment courses. I've found both courses to be excellent and well worth the costs in money, time, and effort.
Tom's been doing Perl for about a week now, and he did Andrew's Geekuni course. He was well prepared for Perl, and seems to be coping with what we're throwing at him just fine. It also sounds like he enjoyed the course. Good stuff!
This course is what I have been looking for ... a Perl course with exercises and a mentor to guide me.
The Dancer Web Development course was really well made. Finally an environment in which I can learn by doing at my own pace!
This method of training is great, and the way Geekuni has been implemented on top of Moodle is excellent - it really accommodates the learning tempo of different students.
Perl Essentials is a great tutorial that allows you to work "hands on" in a real Linux environment. I'm glad to have found it.
Dancer Web Development is a very comprehensive course, delivered with a well-integrated learning environment.
It was very enjoyable, and I learnt more than I expected. Also, Geekuni is probably the best learning tool I've ever used!
I learned more in that first course than I had throughout my entire college career.
