Software Development, Algorithms, Backend, FrontEnd
Hi All, I'm Madalina, 27 years old software developer. I finished Computer Science high school and university in Romania and Hungary. Working as a full-time backend Java software developer in the past 5 years and full stack (backend + front-end) in the past 2 years. I have experience in teaching and training since 2012. During the lessons the used language for back-end is Java. For front-end HTML, CSS, AngularJS. For fastening up the learning process a personal laptop for the students in the intermediate group, would be optimal. For this purpose I start 3 teams: 1. Beginners : Primary school students or persons interested to have some basic concepts and terminology regarding software development: searching and sorting algorithms, variables, parameters, function overriding, pseudo language, functions, procedures, data structures, pure HTML and CSS. 2. Intermediate: concepts of dns servers and lookup, frameworks definitions and introduction, SQL queries, Hibernate framework, query and processing database objects in Java, http, web services, JSON format, SpringBoot, unit testing JUnit, full stack approach, HTML, CSS and introduction to Angular JS. 3. Advanced : Group for students in the first and second year of university, with a full stack approach. Already familiar with the knowledge of an intermediate student. During the lessons a brief introduction to Java frameworks, project delivery, project management frameworks Agile Scrum and Lean, continuous delivery Jenkins, SpringBoot + AngularJs, implementation of website, database handling, login form, security. Regards, Madalina

Sonic Pi - programming and Music Orchestratio. as an art form
## Code the Beat: Make Music by Typing, Not Clicking Ever wonder what it'd be like to *build* music from the ground up, not just play it? Forget clicking through menus; imagine writing code that turns into sound. That's the magic of Sonic Pi. It started as a way to get kids excited about coding, but it's become a playground for anyone who wants to mess with music in a totally different way. You type instructions, and boom—beats, melodies, weird soundscapes, whatever you can dream up. Here's the cool part: you're not stuck with a pre-made track. You change the code *while it's playing*. Want to speed it up? Tweak the pitch? Throw in a crazy synth line? Just type it, and it happens. It's like playing an instrument made of code. You don't need to be a coding whiz or a music theory genius to get started. Sonic Pi's pretty friendly, and there are plenty of people online sharing tips and tricks. Plus, there are classes popping up everywhere that'll walk you through the basics. People are using it for all sorts of music, from electronic dance stuff to ambient soundscapes and even those retro video game sounds. It's not just about making tunes; it's about experimenting, trying things out, seeing what happens when you push a few buttons and type a few lines. What really makes Sonic Pi special is the community. You'll find people swapping code, sharing sounds, and even throwing "algoraves" where they code music live. It's a place where you can learn, create, and connect with others who are just as curious about the weird and wonderful world of coding music. So, if you're looking for a way to get creative, try something new, and maybe even make some music that nobody's ever heard before, give Sonic Pi a shot. You might just surprise yourself.
