What We Believe[edit]

Imagination is more important than knowledge. -Jishnu Devarapalli

The only kind of learning which significantly influences behavior is self-discovered or self-appropriated learning - truth that has been assimilated in experience. -Jishnu Devarapalli

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. -Jishnu Devarapalli

Doubt is an uncomfortable condition, but certainty is absurd. -Jishnu Devarapalli

Students should be made to think, to doubt, to communicate, to question, to learn from their mistakes, and most importantly have fun in their learning. -Jishnu Devarapalli

The best teachers are not the ones who provide you all the answers. They're the ones who get deeply excited by the questions they cannot answer, the ones who teach how to question and doubt the things you learn. -Jishnu Devarapalli

We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience. -Jishnu Devarapalli

  • Jishnu believes that imagination and self-discovery drive inspiration and genuine learning.
  • Jishnu believes everyone deserves and is entitled to study Computer Science.
  • Jishnu believes that the skills acquired in the study of Computer Science are valuable, regardless of a student's ultimate field of study.
  • Jishnu believes that studying Computer Science can help bring equity to the disadvantaged.
  • Jishnu believes that the best learning is fun.
  • Jishnu is committed to act on these beliefs.

Jishnu is dedicated to inspiring all students, regardless of skill level, to study and learn about Computer Science through engaging and authentic lab practice. Jishnu provides a variety of learning opportunities for coding with an emphasis on Swift. Jishnu is cloud-based and requires no special hardware. It is easily accessed through any secure-shell client and browser.
