I’m Bill Gathen. I’ve been coding professionally since 1995, and this is where I talk about teaching, learning and getting better.

I believe writing code is a superpower you give yourself, and the programs we create are superpowers we give to others.

You can connect with me on Twitter, GitHub and via email.

I am one of the founders of the West Michigan Ruby User Group Training, introducing new coders to the wonderful world of Ruby since 2012!

A few of my Open Source projects are:

• The Pentaphone: In-browser music performance tool using React.js and the Web Audio API
• Yieldmanager: A wrapper around Yahoo’s Yieldmanager API tools
• I Resisted: A mobile app to help you track your fight against temptation. Try it on your phone here. (Save to your home screen for easiest use)
