Maybe you've tried learning to code before, only to give up out of frustration. It’s not you — it’s the way programming has been taught. Traditional methods of teaching software development can leave even the most capable learners feeling lost. You may be someone who can only realize your programming potential by learning to Visualize Code, in which case you would be wasting your money on any other course.


Some people are visualizing learners, and need to "see" concepts come to life with graphics, illustrations, and animations of what they are learning. Some people learn by interactivity, and need instant feedback from their actions. Is this you? We built this course from the ground up with you in mind — whether you need to see a concept to "get" it, or you learn best by practicing with "training wheels". Welcome to the world's most advanced programming educational system.


Learning programming our way will make you a better thinker. You'll learn how to break large problems down into smaller sub-problems, which is a useful skill for anything in life. And if you already know a little code, our visualization techniques will make you even better! Ready to unlock a new way of thinking and coding? Discover how our approach can supercharge your abilities. You've never seen a course like this.

The Rob Rockwell Story: The Inventor Of Code Visualization

Rob Rockwell Sunset

A bit about my journey and achievements...


My career started off a little rocky because I was learning programming the wrong way. I actually got Cs in my first programming courses in college. But it was not my fault — many other students were also failing, and it was because the material was being taught wrong. Too much theory and not enough interactiveness. And not enough visualization, which is the way I and many others learn best.


Through trial and error, I discovered many unique techniques for visualizing code, which allowed me to become a very successful software entrepreneur. Within 5 years of teaching myself to visualize code (originally writing it out on dead tree paper), I was inventing highly parallelized GPU accelerated algorithms for an AI research project (before AI was cool). I also wrote Android apps that had 1 million total installs in the Google Play store before I sold them. Eventually I ended up as the Software Architect for a DeFi startup, where over $30 million worth of transactions were processed annually, and not one customer ever lost money due to a programming error.


Now it's time to share my incredible programming secrets with the world! Unlike a whole lot of courses and even colleges, my techniques can teach "normal people" (non-techie, non-mathematician) how to excel at programming.

Math-lite

Math-lite Chalkboard

In the early days of programming, every programmer was also a highly competent mathematician, because the only way to learn programming was through math. Even today, most programming education is heavily math-based. That's fine — for people who are gifted in math. But with Code Visualization, even artist types who are not mathematicians can still become competent programmers.


Our programming courses are Math-lite, requiring only middle-school level math skills. The secret is harnessing the visualizing part of the brain for coding.

By An Entrepreneur, For Entrepreneurs

Programmer Entrepreneur On A Beach

Almost all other programming courses focus primarily on interview questions to land a job at a large company. We focus on the type of skillset useful to entrepreneur and founder types. You will save tons of money in not needing to hire a programmer, and maintain full control of your company not needing to give shares to an investor to raise money. Automate repetitive and mundane tasks to avoid overhiring. Build your own custom software products in-house to avoid massive development costs. Our courses teach you how to do things yourself, that would cost an enormous amount if they were outsourced.


Once we teach you the core fundamentals of a programming language, you should be able to easily teach yourself anything else you need to know further, like new frameworks and libraries as they come out. Our Code Visualization secrets will give you a massive advantage over the competition. This course is taught by a serial entrepreneur, who has both founded and sold successful internet companies. Our methods have been proven over and over again, startup after startup.

Buy It For Life

Code Visualization Codex

Your initial one-time purchase gives you a personal copy of all course materials (ebooks, videos, and educational software) of a given version, for life. You are licensed to download all course files to your local machine, for the best possible experience - watch the 4K videos without stuttering using your favorite player, run the software without an internet connection. This license is good for the lifetime of one original purchaser. If you're ever feeling rusty or need a refresher in the future, you can always go back to the course materials. Even if we no longer offer the course someday, you'll still have it, forever, in your personal archives. That’s a huge value, convenience, and peace of mind!


Other courses try to make the content practically unplayable with DRM; We don't. Other courses charge a yearly fee to retain access to course materials; We don't. Other courses nearly always require you keep logging in to some buggy 3rd party site, and vanish into thin air if you lose your account; With ours this is impossible because you have the files. You don't even need to sign up for anything - just pay and download. We may discontinue this offer in the future, so buy now to lock in your lifetime of course access.

The Course That Pays For Itself In No Time

Programmer Surrounded By Cash

One way to learn programming might be to earn a college CS bachelor's degree. It would take 3–4 years, and probably 70% of its classes would have little to do with computing. With an astronomical price tag of $70,000 or more, a CS degree costs over 100 times more than this course — and you could fail or drop out, wasting all that money. Even if you do succeed, you still might not have the right skillset for the real world. For one-hundredth of the cost of a CS degree, we can give you what may be the best real-world introductory education in programming, with practically no financial risk or long-term time commitment.


A talented programmer might earn $400K per year — an extraordinary potential return on your relatively minuscule investment in this course. And if you build your own software products for your own company, the sky is the limit on possible income. Imagine the money you'll save by not needing to hire a programmer for your startup projects. By learning to code yourself, you can keep 100% ownership of your company in its earliest days, preserving both your finances and your control.


The sooner you take our course, the sooner you can get started reaping potentially huge financial rewards. While riches can never be guaranteed, our Code Visualization techniques and toolset dramatically increase your chances. If you put the skills we teach you to work for you, this course will pay for itself in the blink of an eye.

A New Type Of Course Built On Code Visualization: Rockstar Programmer

Our course isn’t just another video lecture series — it's built around Interactive Visualization software that let you see code in action — see it run in human-perceivable speed. With slow-motion code execution and dynamic visualization animations, you’ll grasp programming principles far faster and easier than you would with static slides or traditional lectures. In fact, you may not even be able to fully learn programming at all without our technology and techniques.


'Rockstar Programmer' was a slang phrase in the 2000s to describe programmers with enough superhuman talent to singlehandedly get an entire startup off the ground. We'll make you a Rockstar Programmer.


A Reasonable Value Breakdown Of Course Materials

Many courses will try to claim their 3-figure price tag has 5-figures of "value", using some pretty sketchy math. While our course is an extraordinary bargain, we try to be realistic with the valuation.


  • Video Value: $1080 ($60/hr × 18 hours (for the Ruby course))
  • eBooks Value: $130 ($10/ea (avg) × 13 mini ebooks)
  • Interactive Tests Value: $200
  • Source Code Value: $120
  • Interactive Code-generating Cheat-sheets Value: $870 ($290 × 3 programs)
  • Interactive Code Visualization Animations Value: $1600 ($10/ea (avg) × 160 lessons)

  • Total Content & Software Value: $4000 (This is a very conservative estimate.)

If this course were your best chance at writing your dream programs, if it were your best chance at realizing your dream lifestyle, what would it be worth to you?
