Learn Enough to Be Dangerous is a leader in the movement to teach technical sophistication, the seemingly magical ability to take command of your computer and get it to do your bidding. This includes everything from command lines and coding to guessing keyboard shortcuts, Googling error messages, and knowing when to just reboot the darn thing. We believe there are at least a billion people who can benefit from learning technical sophistication, probably more. To join our movement, sign up for our official e-mail list now.

You may have seen him shredding guitar live with Capital Cities on Jimmy Kimmel, Conan or the Ellen Show, but rest assured Nick is a true nerd at heart. He's just as happy shredding well-spec'd lines of code from a tour bus as he is from his kitchen table.
