How will you learn?

I take great care to provide insights in a way that you will actually remember them, applying best practices wherever possible

High-quality content

This is not your typical, boring video tutorial. I carefully crafted an experience that will keep you captivated. Recorded in a studio in HD @ 60fps with professional sound, you will feel as if I am standing next to you.

Interactive experience

You will not just watch videos. I will continuously challenge you throughout the course. Not just with questionnaires and homework but with tailored feedback on your performance.

Practice within minutes

Teaching should not be passive. You will create your first GitHub repository in minutes and we will continuously learn by doing exercises. All steps can be easily applied to your actual model, even if you already started using Git(Hub).
surely you don't need this course, do you?

Why should you bother?

This course provides value on many different levels.

Workflows for AnyLogic

There are thousands of Git workflows out there. But they never apply to the special world of AnyLogic and simulation modelling.
The workflows I teach are proven and refined through many years of testing as an AnyLogic consultant.

Highly transferable skills

Learning Git and GitHub is a skill you will need throughout your career in IT. Any modern software development applies Git.

Instant CV gold   

Applicable for anyone

Student working on a model yourself? A lone developer at a company? Or part of a large industrial team handling several models? This course covers the workflows for any application area and use case.

Not just Git

You will also learn about the amazing tools that GitHub holds for you beyond versioning and backup.

Project management, issues, milestones, Kanban boards and more, all tailored for AnyLogic development.
Don't just take it from me

What others are saying

Certainly a course with a lot of added value for everyone who takes it! We definitely benefited a lot he use of GitHub for version control and mapping of parallel editing of our simulation models by several users in our company. Therefore: we can highly recommend it!
Dr. Anna Carina Römer (IPOL GmbH)
I've already gained a lot of knowledge from Ben and now you have the opportunity to do the same! A very useful masterclass for collaborating AnyLogic projects with GitHub. By the way: Also very essential if you are working on your own! A lesson I learned just recently 🤯
Max Selmair (Tesla)
A very informative course that will be useful for managing model development going forward!
