"In celebration of the JRS Innovation Center’s first Coding School Boot Camp, a 50% discount off of the tuition is being offered – from $10,000 for the course to $5,000.” Limited space is available.

The JRS IC was launched this year by TRHC, in collaboration with TRHC University, to develop technology that will solve real health care problems while providing leading-edge value to software innovation. The Jack Russell Software (JRS) Coding School Boot Camp is one of many programs and events to be held under the auspices of the JRS IC. Others programs include Hackathons where students will collaborate to learn and develop computer programs; Labs, where students will experience how to leverage technology to improve patient lives; and opportunities to work on open source projects that help create quality software.

The Jack Russell Software Coding School Boot Camp instructors have a significant amount of experience, with an aggregate of over 50 years of combined professional software and development experience, including 30 years of training software development talent. Wilson has extensive experience in building and leading teams in the development of large-scale and complex healthcare web applications. He is active within the Charleston software development community, is a member of the Charleston Digital Corridor, and heads the Charleston CoderDojo, which teaches code to children. Wilson chairs the Charleston JS Meetup Group and is an instructor and Lead Advisor at the Digital Corridor’s Code Camp. Wilson believes learning code is a valuable skill, whether one plans to use it professionally or to gain an understanding of the technical world. Recently, he participated at the Syntax Code & Craft Convention, exploring Functional Reactive Programming with Rx.JS/CycleJS.

Joining Wilson as an instructor at the JRS Coding School Boot Camp is Trip Ottinger, who has over 20 years of experience in the design, implementation and consultation of custom business software solutions spanning multiple industries. Ottinger is a frequent presenter and guest speaker at technical conferences around the country as well as in classrooms and in e-learning formats.
