While the Artsy engineering team includes many disciplines, tech stacks, and personalities, we all share a few things in common: a respect for each other, an appreciation of art-meets-science, and a celebration of learning. These are actually traits shared with our entire company, even non-engineers. So last Summer when Orta and I had some down time, it occurred to us how we could do something super-productive that was congruent with our values: we could teach the company Swift.

Last August, Orta and I [led a course at Artsy][course] to teach our colleagues Swift. There were two parallel groups of learners: a "beginners" group who had never coded before, and an "informed" group who already knew how to code. This year, we're leading the course again with a slight twist: we're repeating the course for absolute beginners, and we're introduce a new course for anyone who completed last year's beginner course.

We're really excited both to help new colleagues take their first steps into programming, and to help returning colleagues continue their journey.

Today was lesson one of the beginner group, and I have a [screen recording][youtube] of my walkthrough of [lesson one's material][github].
