IT-Hogwarts: School of Programmers hh.ru
This year, the hh.ru School of Programmers celebrates its anniversary: for ten years now we have been turning people into full stack developers. Education at the School is free of charge, and this is fundamental. The educational process consists of two large blocks: theory and project teamwork. Two main areas: backend and frontend.
At school, we talk about modern technologies, most of which are used in the development of hh.ru: java and python, reactJS, relational databases, nosql and much more. The project part of training at the School of Programmers allows you to gain experience in a team led by combat developers, learn the basics of design, use machine learning, deploy services in production and test hypotheses using A / B tests.
Online courses and tutorials are, of course, cool, but the School gives you the opportunity to try yourself in team development, see how the IT company’s kitchen works from the inside, and also provides easy contact with excellent specialists. It is quite difficult to get such an experience yourself, but it is highly valued.
During the project work, students are provided with a mentor. A mentor is a comrade and mentor who will share practical experience and direct in the right direction. And for the mentors themselves, this is a great opportunity to try themselves as team leaders or products. After school, many students remain working at hh.ru.
Each next School of Programmers takes into account the experience of the previous year: we remove irrelevant and unsuccessful lectures, process old ones and add new ones. In the anniversary School, we reduced the number of lectures requiring a personal presence in the office, and transferred them online. This made learning convenient and reduced the burden on students. And the records of the School from past years allow you to return to the material studied and remember something important.
Recruitment to the hh.ru School of Programmers takes place in three stages: registration, solution of test problems and face-to-face interview. To pass the entrance tests, it is enough to have an initial understanding of the operation of the algorithms and the principles of their application. Basic knowledge of computer science and syntax programming will come in handy, since an entrance exam involves writing code. The benefit is knowledge of SQL.
Projects that the participants of the School of Programmers are working on are real product tasks for the company. Ready-made projects often fall into production, so students can immediately observe the result of work and record its benefits. Yes, and in future interviews will be something to show.
For example, last year we threw the guys a task related to smart search hints for the project: it was necessary to make a sajest based on real user requests, but with ranking by popularity, recognition of typos and cutting off irrelevant results and negative keywords.
Upon completion, we rolled out this sujest to 5% of users and checked: it turned out that it improves user experience, people began to use it more often when searching. Now this project in production is already 100%.
Lectures at the School are conducted by the best specialists of all hh.ru from different departments and teams. Meet me.
