Progressive Web Apps are installable and live on the user’s home screen, without the need for an app store. They offer an immersive full screen experience with help from a web app manifest file and can even re-engage users with web push notifications.
The Web App Manifest allows you to control how your app appears and how it’s launched. You can specify home screen icons, the page to load when the app is launched, screen orientation, and even whether or not to show the browser chrome.
Drone Programming
Drone
Programming Primer for Software Development, where you will learn of the
core open source software projects that are fueling the progression of
today’s drones!
The collection of open source software projects
empowering drones (which we will call the flight stack) is transcending
its hobbyist roots and is branching out into business applications at a
high rate. This is going to translate to demand for drone
engineers/developers who understand the open source flight stack.
This course will serve to introduce and familiarize you with the flight stack, which includes the following:
· Firmware (To run the drone’s hardware)
· Middleware (Communication glue between projects)
· API to Firmware (High level commanding of drone with Ground Control Stations and Python scripts)
Robotics
The objective of this class is to introduce students to the basic issues of software engineering and how it applies to robotics. Design of robot systems poses a number of challenges both in terms of providing basic methods for navigation, manipulation and interaction and in terms of integrating methods into operational systems. The software engineering covers the design, analysis and synthesis of systems for real-world operation. The course will present several basic methods in software engineering, their application in robotics and how such methods can be implemented using state of the art software systems.
AI and Machine Learning
We created this Boot Camp for anyone who’s interested in learning about machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Whether you’re new to these two fields or looking to advance your knowledge. In this Boot Camp you can pick up skills in introductory and advanced Machine Learning, with several relevant applications and tools like Python, Google Cloud Platform, and TensorFlow. You’ll learn about trending topics like text mining, natural language processing, deep learning, neural networks, clustering, and classification, any or all of which you can use to solve real-world problems in your everyday work as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, software engineer, or simply as a student who is transitioning into these fields.
Data Science
This Boot Camp provides an environment in which students feel free to expose their own knowledge state and compassionately help each other learn is incredibly difficult. The idea of a growth mindset was first put forth by Carol Dweck (Dweck and Sumoreads 2017). Jo Boaler discusses the growth mindset especially in the context of the math classroom and fittingly refers to it as the “mathematical mindset” (Boaler 2016). Their research points out the importance of students believing that they can improve through practice. More interestingly, perhaps, they offer suggestions as to how to foster growth mindsets such as praising effort as opposed to skill (Khan 2014).
Cyber Security
This Boot Camp offers a wide variety of IT security concepts, tools, and best practices. It introduces threats and attacks and the many ways they can show up. We’ll give you some background of encryption algorithms and how they’re used to safeguard data. Then, we’ll dive into the three As of information security: authentication, authorization, and accounting. We’ll also cover network security solutions, ranging from firewalls to Wifi encryption options. Finally, we’ll go through a case study, where we examine the security model of Chrome OS. The course is rounded out by putting all these elements together into a multi-layered, in-depth security architecture, followed by recommendations on how to integrate a culture of security into your organization or team
Cloud Computing
This Boot Camp offers introductory and advanced cloud computing and gain advanced knowledge with a Cloud Development program that will teach you how to design, implement and manage complete cloud computing systems. Learn how to design distributed cloud computing applications, learn about efficient cloud architecture and understand how to implement important cloud security features to protect against hackers. Courses are offered from Microsoft, the University of Maryland, The Linux Foundation and other top universities and institutions. Microsoft cloud courses center on Azure platform and include many platforms to help you achieve a deep understanding of cloud computing options and capabilities.
Digital Marketing
Marketing excellence is a prerequisite for success in any business, from startups to the world’s most established enterprises, yet the art and science of marketing is constantly evolving. Arm yourself with the essential principles and practices of marketing in the digital economy by making this course, taught by Internet consumer shopping expert and Wharton professor David Bell, an indispensable part of your knowledge base.
In this business and management Boot Camp, you will gain an understanding of how the digital economy works and develop the critical insights necessary to succeed in e-commerce and digital and social media marketing.

Software Development Jobs
According to the Jobs Trend Report a frontend dev bootcamp that teaches JavaScript, or the MEAN Stack is in strong demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2010 there were over 900,000 software developer jobs posted, with an expected increase of 30% by 2020. There’s also the often cited analysis from Code.org that underscored the widening gap between supply and demand.
Target Population
The 2017 In-demand Occupation and Insights report is a resource for Career Technical Education (CTE), and postsecondary institutions as well as nonprofits, government entities, and workforce boards to leverage in preparing Nevada’s workforce to make informed decisions about program or training offerings that align to research and labor market data as well as the state’s needs. But perhaps, even more importantly, leveraging the 2017 In-demand Occupation and Insights provide a level of information and security for students and adults engaging in various career pathways and spending precious time, energy, and financial resources to make informed decisions and understand the consequences of the choices they make when pursuing skills and training.
Thus, it is imperative for and postsecondary institutions to continue to further partner in aligning programs and course offerings that leverage career pathways that fill critical talent needs identified by labor market research and employer input. It is also imperative to scale programs that will provide individuals with great return on investment and curtail programs that are becoming obsolete or not supported by the labor market. Training to the consensus occupations is a more compelling way to ensure individuals are positioned to receive a greater return on their investments and grow the economy through workforce development.
A snapshot of Inequity
· Women need better access to middle-skill jobs with family-sustaining wages.
· Women serve as the primary or co-breadwinner in half of U.S. families (Hess et al 2015).
· As the economy has recovered, millions of workers found jobs, but many of these new jobs pay too little to lift a family out of poverty.
· Women are the majority of full-time workers whose earnings leave them in near poverty.
· One in four Hispanic women (24.2 percent) and close to one in five Black women (18.1 percent) work full-time and earn less than $400 per week (U.S. Department of Labor unpublished).
· One in four Hispanic women (24.2 percent) and close to one in five Black women (18.1 percent) work full-time and earn less than $400 per week (U.S. Department of Labor unpublished).
· The Collaborative will concentrate marketing to these populations. It is the goal of the Collaborative to reduce the barriers to training and employment by offering wrap around support services such as childcare subsidies, food and rental assistance and gas card.
· To help reduce the need for transportation, the MDN platform is available to all participants online.
· The materials accessible through MDN and the LMS will be in multiple languages and culturally sensitive while reflecting the needs of the area employers.
Target Population
Impact to Las Vegas Valley
Filling the open mid-skill positions in Nevada would increase the region’s annual gross domestic product and generate additional annual sales tax revenue.

The original ™Reece Enterprises© LOGO
True to Our Hearts, this special LOGO was hand designed by my oldest son, Karoderick Jamaal Reece, in 1992.
This LOGO is a Broken CROSS formed from a Tree, Wrapped with THE BLOOD of CHRIST, with a Splatter of the BLOOD in the middle of the lower Trunk! The one slightly open space of the BLOOD, on the right Arm of the CROSS is a reminder of how just that Slight open in THE ARMOR, THE BLOOD, can allow the Evil of the World to get in. It Also Symbolizes How GOD/ THE Christ Shed The BLOOD to Always be give us a Way to put our BROKEN Souls back together, and Redeem ourselves back to HIM, as Children of the VINE!
