Instructor
Jose Salvatierra has been teaching computer science and playing and teaching music (grades 1 to 8) for over four years, to students of all ages and all skill levels. He started programming at the age of 10, just a couple years after he started studying music, when his dad, excited that he had showed interest in similar things to himself, taught him the basics of Marin Saric's METAL. Shortly thereafter they moved on to RealBASIC, and from there Jose started learning Java and C.Jose studied Applied Computing at University of Dundee, one of the most prestigious universities for computing-related courses, and he was offered the chance to participate in their computing scholarships due to academic achievement.
