What is the drop table mentoring?
When Philipp was studying computer science, he felt like something wasn’t right with the conventional way of learning coding. The amount of theory that is taught in universities bothered him and made him think about shortcuts to learn what’s really needed in practice. Over time, he found mentors to learn from. Mentors who came straight out of practice. That was the game changer for him and his career.
While for most developers, DROP TABLE is just a command to delete a database table, Philipp’s reinterpretation is to drop what doesn’t move you forward and start doing what does. Learning takes time, but it shouldn’t take more time than necessary. That’s why Philipp decided to mentor a small group of very hungry and committed Android developers to become ready for the industry. The DROP TABLE mentoring is a direct result of that.
Become an Industry-Ready Android developer in 10 weeks
Self-Learning is not a fast way to getting a well paid job
- Self-learning is very error-prone, since nobody tells you when you’re on the wrong path
- Learning alone lacks a clear structure which will cause you to learn irrelevant conepts while leaving out those that matter
- As a solo-learner, you have no relation to real practice since you’re not coding in a real work scenario
Having a mentor Is the fastest way to learn what’s required in the industry
- Get immediate feedback on your mistakes which speeds up learning by up to 7x, since your mistakes won’t backfire later
- Get a clear structure on what really matters, so you master what really counts in the real world
- Learn from an experienced Android developer to find out about all the tricks & hacks you only learn by working on real projects

Problem:
Brady Cargle has a background in marketing, but felt like his true passion lies in Android development. However, he had no clue on how to get hands on experience in this competitive industry as a self-taught developer.
Goal:
Learning and internalizing all Android skills that matter in today’s industry to confidently nail tech interviews and get a well-paid job as an Android developer.
Solution:
Brady had to dedicate all his available free time towards learning Android development. Instead of just learning with courses that teach you exactly what to do in which order, Philipp challenged him as a mentor to not only learn the relevant programming concepts, but also how to solve future problems on his own. This secured him a job at a Fortune 500 company within a few months after the mentoring.

The DROP TABLE mentoring is for anybody who struggles to write maintainable, extendable, testable and modular code. If you already have a job and want to take your career to the next level this is just as perfect as wanting to take the step into the corporate world.
Why do i need to apply?
The DROP TABLE mentoring is only for a small group of very committed people who want to take the step from intermediate to professional Android developers. Since the amount of spots that can be offered is strictly limited, the application will be used to assess if you’re a fit.
what do i need to be able to build to apply?
Since the mentorship is an individual mentorship program, Philipp can perfectly adapt to your challenges, your coding style and you as a person which is why it’s not important that everyone is at the same level.
You should however have a bit of experience with Android, so you roughly know how to build simple UI, how to use a database & API and things like the activity lifecycle.
