From the tutor:

Being a self-taught programmer with a design background, my experience with coding and working with tech companies has changed the way I see software as a tool. While most developers find themselves learning design principles to improve their software, I found myself learning software development to improve my design process. As we move towards an increasingly digital world, I find it necessary to question our dependency on large software development companies to create the tools we need.
