Programmers teach Tramps to program, develop apps

One day, Patrick Mcconlogue announced that he was going to teach a homeless man to learn the Java language and help him develop an app that belonged to him. Patrick, 23, a software engineer, meets the Tramp every day on his way to work, and then decides to practice his own idea and see if he is that person.

"The idea is simple. "Patrick wrote on his website:

1. I'll give you 100 dollars when I pass by tomorrow.
2. I'll give you three JavaScript tutorials (entry level, advanced, expert) and a cheap notebook when I pass by tomorrow.

When you feel ready, every day after that I will teach you to program one hours early.

Sure enough, the ideal and ambitious Wanderer, Leo, decided to learn how to program, thinking that $100 would be spent less than a week, while knowledge could create wealth in the future. Leo said: "He told me that I could have a notebook to learn to do something, I think that can be changed to more things." Anyway I have plenty of time to learn from scratch. "Leo has been a tramp for 2 years, and after losing his job as a life insurance agent, his rent has risen, as luxury apartments have been built nearby." Despite the misfortune of life, when Patrick offered him two choices, Leo was not unhappy or desperate. He hopes he will have more skills to get back on his feet again.

Patrick's idea was heavily criticized by many, who thought it would be better to provide Leo with food, clothing or a place to live, and that some people felt that Patrick was insulting others. In the face of this, Patrick responds to them with an old saying: "The fish can only feed him one day, and the man can feed him for his life." Ignoring the criticisms, the young programmer bought Leo a cheap Samsung notebook, three programming books, his own Wi-Fi hotspot, and began teaching him how to program. Every morning, Patrick will leave home one hours in advance and meet Leo in the park to teach him all the variables and functions that need to be mastered. They also developed an app together and are planning to start in the 8th week. They don't want to tell anyone about the app right now, but they're sure it's going to be wonderful and relevant to Leo's personal main interests-global warming and climate change.
At present, the development test is still in progress, Patrick and Leo are very happy that they have achieved results. Although there are some criticisms, their dynamics have been universally accepted. They even keep the progress of updating the project on Facebook, and assemble a large number of fans.
