About
Big Nerd Ranch has trained more than 14,000 students in iOS, Android, full-stack web development and design from companies all over the world. Best known for our immersive bootcamps, we offer distraction-free training at our locations in Georgia and California where students are able to learn new skills and improve their careers while getting away from it all—room and board included.
For companies that need to train an entire team as quickly as possible, we can help teams from 6 to 1,000 learn new skills and solve problems through our team training program. Big Nerd Ranch has helped companies like Facebook, AT&T, Honeywell, Spotify, Airbnb, Whirlpool and NASA achieve their programming needs, and we can help you too.
Big Nerd Ranch was founded in 2001 by Aaron Hillegass, whose lifelong interest in programming was honed at NeXT, where he was a developer and trainer. Later, he delivered Cocoa and WebObjects training for Apple. Since Big Nerd Ranch was founded, we’ve brought our deep expertise to app development consulting and training, and today we offer a variety of services from our headquarters in Atlanta.
