The Hosts
James Q Quick
Technical Content Creator
I am a JavaScript developer, speaker, and teacher with a passion for teaching developers through various mediums of content.
I'm a firm believer in work-life balance, the on-going pursuit of personal happiness, and empowering others to take control of their career. My personal philosophy of “Learn Build Teach” has blossomed into a growing community of aspiring and established developers focused on helping each succeed.
Amy Dutton
Director of Design
I love️ teaching designers how to code and developers how to design.
I'm a UI / UX designer and full-stack developer. I have over 20 years of web experience, officially making me a granny in Internet years. I live in Nashville, TN with my husband, 3 adorable kids, and 2 dogs. If I'm not sitting in front of my computer making things, I'm hanging out with family and friends. I love streaming all the things, playing cards, reading, and drinking coffee. Lots of coffee.
