Klustered & Rawkode Academy

Course Vision

David Flanagan shares his vision for Rawkode Academy, emphasizing the development of courses that are both relevant and reflective of real-world applications. He plans to introduce courses on Kubernetes, Temporal, and Dagger, drawing from his own experiences to ensure the content is fresh and applicable 1. Flanagan's approach is to integrate his passion projects with his professional work, using tools like Pulumi to enhance both 2.

I love that I'm able to join my kind of passion project, which is my academy with my day job Pulumi, pushing these tools together and just showing people that, you know, you can bend the usefulness of applications to suit your needs and unexpected ways.

This synergy allows him to provide valuable feedback to Pulumi while advancing his educational goals.

   

Career & Automation

Flanagan envisions Rawkode Academy as a long-term career path, aiming to focus on it full-time within the next five years 3. He is committed to making the academy a hub for interactive learning, exploring various mediums to cater to different learning styles. Automation plays a significant role in his strategy, with tools like Dagger replacing traditional workflows to streamline processes 4.

There's a lot of cool stuff here that I think would be really useful and beneficial to people if I could show them it and show them how I'm working on it and changing over time.

--- David Flanagan

This focus on automation not only enhances efficiency but also enriches the learning experience for students.
