How a Visual Learner Learned to Code and Built a Startup by Joe Minock

Description:
Originally a non-coding technology consultant, I grew tired of needing to rely on others to build products. After it became clear that the previous startup that I had co-founded was about to flame out, I searched the web far and wide for resources that could take a visual / kinesthetic learner from wannabe developer to dangerous enough to code. Over 18 months, I consumed multiple online courses, built multiple test applications, and ultimately built my new company, AthleteProgress.

Bio:
With a strong background in product development, I do my best work at the intersection of sports and technology. I have 14+ years experience in eCommerce, scalable web application development, and sports coaching, I've fused my passions in the development of AthleteProgress and consulting exciting technology companies.
