About Nine Brains
Did you know that octopuses have a complex nervous system, nine brains and blue blood? In short, reality can be stranger than fiction and they are among the most intelligent creatures in the world.
Everyone involved in software development has to be a bit like an octopus, acquiring different skills to achieve specific goals, both as an individual and part of a team. Nine Brains has gathered the best trainers to help our courses’ participants improve their skill sets.
Nine Brains is a training house that provides IT courses for people involved in software development. IT training is carried out by world-class trainers, chosen based on feedback from several IT conferences, such as FrontCon, DevOps Unicorns, and others that focus on programming training. At Nine Brains, we are experienced providers of online and onsite software training, and both formats have received excellent feedback.
Our public IT courses can be attended by anyone. Parallel to these, we also provide in-house IT training (online or onsite) for our partner companies. In this case, we can adjust the content of the course, as well as the length and timing as needed. IT courses are never pre-recorded, so what you’ll get is a live training class with a real trainer online (or onsite, if you wish). The trainer will answer your questions right away and adapt the level of training so that you can go through the course at your desired pace with no questions left unanswered. Our clients are companies that want their employees to learn new programming languages or other skills quickly and in good quality.
Nine Brains is a trademark of Latvian IT community DevClub.lv, which has organized over 10 conferences, 100 meetups, and tens, if not hundreds, of different programming courses since 2012.
