AboutBig NerdRanch

Big Nerd Ranch exists to broaden the minds of our students and the businesses of our clients. Whether we are training talented individuals or developing a company's mobile strategy, our core philosophy is integral to everything we do. These TRUTHS are really the principles we apply in our teaching and in our approach to consulting and software development.

The brainchild of CEO Aaron Hillegass, Big Nerd Ranch has hosted over 2,000 students at the Ranch since our inception in 2001. We have also worked with dozens of the biggest companies in the world (such as Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Google, AOL, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Adobe), helping them realize their programming goals. Our team of software engineers are among the brightest in the business and it shows in their work: We have developed dozens of innovative and flexible solutions for our clients. We are also passionate about education, as we will release several new books in the Big Nerd Ranch Guide Series in 2010, including the recent, "iPhone and iPad Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide".
