NS$1/min per minute(1)Creating Faster Websites With Jekyll and GitHub PagesNick Such • Lexington, KYCreated 11 years ago in Technology / WordPressIn 2013, I moved my company's website from a PHP-based Content Management System (CMS) to GitHub Pages, and saw massive increases in speed, security, and design flexibility. This was due to the power of a tool called Jekyll, the anti-CMS behind popular sites like healthcare.gov (the part that DIDN'T break). Since then, I've migrated other sites and have been training others how to make the leap from Wordpress to Jekyll-powered awesomeness.Nick Such Lexington, KY(1)

NS$1/min per minute(1)Teaching People How to CodeNick Such • Lexington, KYCreated 11 years ago in Skills & Management / CoachingIn 1 year, my team and I grew a software school from the ground up. We've already taught nearly 500 people, ages 9 - 59, the basics of web, mobile app, and video game development. I've consulted with K-12 educators to help them bring coding classes to their courses. I've helped non-profit organizations develop content to teach computer programming to kids. I can help you learn the basics of coding, how to introduce coding to your school/organization, and where to find advanced training content once your students are ready.Nick Such Lexington, KY(1)
