Why LIT
A modern course experience with a strong focus on practical software and AI.
This isn’t a giant anonymous online program. It’s a focused in-person course in Lakewood with the option to join live online, built for students who want serious training, practical accountability, and a teacher who explains things clearly from the ground up.
Beginner-friendly, not beginner-small
Students start with zero experience and steadily grow into building full applications with databases, APIs, front-end frameworks, and modern AI features.
Taught by someone who’s done the work
Avrumi Friedman brings 18 years of software experience and 13 years of teaching, with lessons shaped by real-world development.
Real structure, real repetition
Live classes, recorded sessions, homework, and feedback help students actually retain the material instead of forgetting it a week later.

Is programming right for you?
You do not need to be a math genius or come in with technical experience. Curiosity, patience, and a willingness to problem-solve matter far more.
Prefer to learn at your own pace?
Many students reach out after the course has already started and still do very well. Every class is recorded, students submit classwork and homework as they go, and they have direct access to Mr. Friedman on Slack for questions and guidance throughout the course.
Men’s classes
Men’s classes may be available depending on the season and format. Reach out directly for current details.
Outcomes
Students leave with more than notes. They leave with direction.
Graduates use the course to prepare for jobs, freelance work, and deeper technical growth. The goal is not just exposure to tech, but real forward motion.
What success can look like
- Landing a first tech role with practical programming experience.
- Building freelance confidence through hands-on project work.
- Continuing into more advanced study with a strong foundation.
- Learning how to build apps that use modern AI, including LLM-powered features your users can actually interact with.
We occasionally accept male remote students as well. Feel free to ask if that is relevant for your situation.
Alumni have contributed at established companies and growing tech teams after building up their skills through the program.
Students are trained toward practical software work, not just classroom theory, so the learning stays connected to real-world expectations.
The curriculum keeps evolving with current technologies, team workflows, and the kinds of problems modern developers actually solve.
Graduates walk away with stronger portfolios, stronger problem-solving habits, and a clearer sense of where they can go next in tech.
