  • William Green - Web Development
    William Green graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    I first discovered computer programming at Middle Tennessee State University, where I studied and later earned a degree in journalism and a minor in computer science. In my CS classes I realized that programming involved the same kind of problem solving and fact-finding that attracted me to journalism. I also realized that I had a natural attraction and aptitude for it. After a few years pursuing a journalism career, I decided to make a change and return to software development.

    I have worked in roles related to software and technology for some time where I interacted with software developers, architects, and other IT professionals.

    James Nitz graduated with Full-time Web Development Cohort 37.
    My introduction to software development began with my career in software sales.
