Ivan Kleshnin

Ivan is a professional in his field and an excellent mentor! None of my questions remained unanswered and his participation. I have never regretted my choice. Ivan is a great example of what a developer should be. He is very competent, thoughtful, attentive to details, knows how to convey information and teach. The main focus is on practice, as it should be. Thank you and recommend with all my heart!

I have a technical, but not a profile education, and I have never worked in the field of IT, but there has always been a craving for this industry. In the area in which I work now, certain milestones have been reached, opportunities have been exhausted, and the desire to go to work — even more so. The time has come to retrain and engage in what we have long wanted. When I decided to change my activity, I first read learn.javascript.ru, I took an online course on layout. In principle, this was enough to understand that I don’t have a soul for “drawing” and design, and the code that comes out is working, but I have a lot of questions for it. And most importantly, it is not clear what to do next: what to learn, what to write, where to go? In short, with a clear understanding that in our interaction with programming, we need a third party who will direct and correct, I decided on mentoring. Why I chose Ivan, I don’t know, but I specifically waited for him to be released. We worked for 2 months: task, brief correspondence, phoned once a week. Immediately came the disappointment, based on my expectations - the mentor will not be in constant availability. He does not sit waiting for your questions, ready to answer them. On the other hand, you have time to figure it out yourself and at the same time learn something new. And there already, if not at all, the tutor will help, tell, explain. As a result, I have noticeably expanded the baggage of technologies and tools used, and programming has confidently left the hobby - an understanding has come of how a commercial product is created, what can and will be expected from you at a real job. Summing up, you can accurately talk about a qualitative leap in my development skills, and the emergence of specialist germs. The big plus was that during this time a small amount of work has been accumulated, which can already be shown to recruiters. Ivan and the guys from mkdev.me helped with the resume, for which a special thanks to them. Ivan and now continues to help with employment, does not refuse to separate councils. I temporarily stopped classes, which would put my thoughts in order, to practice in employment. It may be possible to change the work, pick up the experience of real development. But this is not a mandatory goal. Now I understand exactly what I want, and what will be next in the stack of my skills. And we will definitely continue our cooperation with Ivan and mkdev.me.

After studying the textbook on learn.javascript.ru I decided to continue my studies with a mentor. The choice fell on Ivan, because bribed his approach to learning, the ability to present knowledge from the basics to modern techniques. He is very good at adapting the training program exactly to your goals, be it learning a new framework, a deeper understanding of the basics, or gaining knowledge and skills for primary employment. For a month of training with Ivan, I managed: - to learn the basics of ReactJS and create the first react-application; - try your hand at javascript back-end and create a simple CRUD-application on NodeJS / Koa - pump up understanding of the basic concepts of javascript for an interview (this turned out to be the most useful part of training for me, which IMHO gave the greatest jump) to the interview, but also helped with job placement. Ivan is very attentive to the details, conducts a detailed code review (I already have something to compare with). Able to dive into any topic as far as you can understand. Be sure to continue studying with Ivan.

I’ve been studying mkdev for a long time, I went through several courses called quests here: Ruby, Ruby on Rails for small and for adults and even swung at the front end, I don’t know why, but I wanted to become a full-stack developer. On one of the quests I met and applied VueJS in my project. This was followed by a study of ReactJS. And according to the recommendation, I got the first job, ahead of me was waiting for the ocean of opportunities. As it turned out, my projects that I worked on were JavaScript and built on the Vue and React frameworks, and I realized that I made a mistake in my training, I did not know the foundation, namely the JS language, on which these frameworks were written. I had to return to my programming school at MKDEV. I didn’t look for my mentor for long, I knew exactly what I needed and who I needed. Ivan Kleshnin, of all available became my mentor, my teacher and I hope in the future will become a friend. I read the information about him on the page mkdeva and not only, I confess, I was looking for information about him everywhere, after that I did not even have doubts that it was just such a mentor that I needed. The fact that Ivan is an excellent developer, knows his subject area from and to, understands all the nuances of any project, and never leaves anything without explanation and brings everything to understanding, knows and loves to teach and share his knowledge, says that After 3 weeks of training from Ivan, I had a breakthrough in development, I began to understand JS, I closed the hanging tasks in a couple of days. His help on working projects was invaluable, to my frequent questions what library to use for solving a particular task, he offered to write me the code itself, and I did not experience the horror as before, I took and wrote. The code review of projects is beyond praise - clearly, clearly and even with examples, even questions remain. Weekly meetings with him are held in the discussion of issues on the working draft, but I always expect them for another reason - he shares with them his thoughts on programming, on new trends in development, on metaprogramming and other exciting topics. All insights during his studies with Ivan and can not list, many even got used as a habit. I am now continuing to learn from him what to say, mentor upper class. I am pleased more than ever. Yes, I almost forgot to say that getting into his studies is not easy, I tried for a long time to get to him, but if he takes you as an apprentice, you will be delighted!

Engaged with Ivan 2 months. I advise you as an experienced developer who understands how to submit material based on the current level of the student. I received invaluable help with my goal. Ivan selects the plan individually and helps the council in achieving it. In the future, I will definitely continue my studies in a normal and consistent manner.

He studied with Ivan for a month. If you say: "It was great" or "I got a new experience and knowledge" - it will be dry and will not reveal all the details. From the first day I felt like a pioneer. Every day is a new discovery, a new knowledge, a new journey. I felt a significant difference when you try to "travel" alone and when you are helped in this very "journey." If detailed. An individual plan was immediately built, the goal of which is to fill the gaps in knowledge and form a new motion vector in the chosen area. This helps a lot, since you are not distracted by extraneous things, which means you don’t load your head with an unnecessary one. The connection is almost instant. If you have a question, you will get an answer to it. Expanded and detailed. Detailed code refactoring. Discussion of topics of interest to me, paradigms, new trends. Attention to details. The argument. Motivation. In general, I am very satisfied. And I will definitely continue my studies.

From the first days of mentoring, Ivan laid out the specifics of the frontend developer profession. Made an individual lesson plan based on my needs. In the process of learning I did high-quality code review, which helped me to start writing more thoughtful and expressive code, and also answered all my questions in detail and motivated me when something went wrong. I definitely recommend Ivan Kleshnin as a mentor in JavaScript and will continue classes with this wonderful person.

I turned to Ivan because I had basic knowledge of Javascript, but not knowing how to apply them. I even did not guess that it is possible to explain difficult things so simply that it will be clear even to a person without programming experience. The individual approach, the tasks that you invent and implement for yourself, under the guidance of Ivan. I recommend everyone who wants to pull up knowledge in JS and to those who want to reach a new level.

Having no practice behind me, but only scant knowledge of the JS theory, I enrolled in a course with Ivan. In just two weeks, I mastered the necessary skills, learned the basics of React.js, and wrote my first full-fledged application under the leadership of Ivan. During the course of training, I concluded that I turned to the right person, that’s how I imagined the learning process with a mentor (I hadn’t had such experience before). I would especially like to single out a thorough review code, to the extent that each variable in your code will reflect the very essence of the data stored in it, as well as the fact that Ivan appreciates the time of his students, does not load tons and pages of unnecessary and boring material, but almost from the first days brings you directly to the implementation of your first project. All you need is to listen carefully to the mentor, to be able to use Google, patience and the desire to learn. I will certainly come back here as problems and questions arise.

I signed up for Ivan, having experience in working with Ruby and RoR. Thanks to his course, imbued with the idea of creating SPA applications and JS in general. Despite all my love for Ruby, I don’t want to get away from JS, and I don’t want to follow this course :) This is a really cool program that I recommend to anyone who wants to be involved in modern web development. If you are an experienced developer, the mentor will always have some non-trivial tasks for you to think about. If you are completely new, in the modern world it is difficult to imagine a simpler, more powerful and popular language to start than JS. Also, very pleased with the fact that Ivan is trying hard to help with future employment. In general, I recommend to everyone who cares - you will like it: D

Trained within 1 month. To say that all is well - to say nothing. This is a cool, individual approach to each person, a carefully selected material, video footage, author’s material, it’s impressive .. I recommend definitely, and after a while I planned to continue the course and expect others)
