Thank you Salman for all the lengdary things you've done for us! You're by far one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. All those amazing and hilarious times with you teaching us ruby on rails is easily the best part of my IX experience! I wish you could have stayed for longer. I wish you the best of luck, and a lifetime of happiness with your soon-to-be wife! Have an amazing new life, and don't forget us! :)

Salman, Getting to know you has truly been an honor. You've been so much more than a great teacher -- you have been a phenomenal friend, mentor, and Bhangra partner since i got to Cape Town. Thank you for making this experience great for all of us (and for laughing at my mediocre puns). You'll be the first person to know whenever I'm in the Bay Area. Have a blast at the wedding and don't be a stranger! I'll miss you Brobi Wan Kenobi. - Struck

Sal-daddy! Never would have expected that my head lecturer would ⟨ %end ⟩ up being one of my best friends in South Africa, and certainly never expected to be teaching Bhangra lessons in South Africa with you. Thank you for being such an incredible role model and inspiration to so many of us, and I wish you happiness and success with wherever life takes you.

Bingyan Hu

Salman, I can't believe that you are leaving us soon. Thank you for everything you've been done for us! Thank you for sharing your passion that changes the way I define coding experience! Thank you for being the amazing mentor and friend that inspires us everyday! Best wishes for embracing the next stage of your amazing life with Nida!

Christian Liu

Salman, thank you infinitely for being such a spectacular lecturer and Ruby/Rails pro--you completely shaped my time at iXperience, and even all our excursions could not have given me as rewarding a summer had I not been learning about MVC, hearing about testing, and dying as I styled pages. That said, I will miss your crazy dance moves, wonderfully cute stories in front of Mizolis, and company at the bo-kaap even more than your lectures, and I hope you know you've been a role model and friend to me throughout your time here. I will miss you very much, and I better see you soon!! (perhaps at your wedding???? yes yes yes????? ;))

Zack Chauvin

Salman, it's impossible to share how much I've learned from working with you in class. Your incredible patience, knowledge and character made it an absolute pleasure, and while I'm sad to see you go, something tells me that we'll see plenty of each other in the future!

Inesha Premaratne

Hi friend! Thanks for teaching me things I never even knew about myself - like unbeknownst to most, I am secretly a kick-ass coder ;) More like, I am stubborn as all get out. Thanks for the encouraging words you shared without even knowing it probably, for dealing with my obnoxiousness, for sitting beside me in my distress and for re-filling my controllers and models with proper code (ohhh snazzy coder language!) and for making me smile. It is something I am most grateful for.

Francois Kassier

Never has someone taught me so much, so quickly, and so well. Thank you.

Petter Wehlin

It's impressive that you taught us how to build Ruby on Rails apps in only 4 weeks. But it's downright amazing how you showed us the joy of creating and inspired us for years to come. Thank you for everything!

Mikenzie Ginsberg

I believe teaching is one of the hardest things to do. You may be the most skilled person in a particularly subject, and yet have no ability to explain concepts clearly and motivate your students. Although I am incredibly impressed with your ability to do both those things, what blows me away is your ability to teach your students important life lessons through lectures about computer programming. You are truly gifted and I sincerely thank you for being my teacher, friend and mentor through out these past two months.

Quinton Trudell

Salman, you absolute legend, thank you for going on this wild journey with us! It would not have been nearly as awesome without you, and when I find my "boat," you're going to be the first to know.

Lyles Swift

Salman - You're a wonder to watch work. Your enthusiasm is contagious and it permeates each lecture. Thank you for sharing your passion with me and the iX family. x Lyles

KJ Gill

Dearest Salman, It was a privilege having you as a teacher for the past month. You're an incredibly passionate teacher and a very thoughtful friend. Best wishes for the future bruh. Or should I say, BRUUUAAAHHH!

Gabrielle Cheng

I'll keep it simple as noted: "Salman, thank you for sharing your passion with us! It has been an amazing journey and you have defined part of the iX experience for us

Alex Beam

Salman you're the man! We've been extremely lucky to learn from a legend like yourself. Enjoy the next chapter of your life!

Rohit Ahuja

Before having you as a teacher, programming was just filling in a bunch of code in functions and hoping it works. But now, you've instilled in me the unending urge to build, and the value and potential in that is infinite. Thank you so much for your inspiration, wisdom, guidance, and friendship.

Amandeep Saini

What can be said? I've found a teacher, mentor, friend, and bhangra enthusiast all in one guy. You've more than doubled both my coding knowledge and itunes library. Its hard to express these things in words, so lets just say, Nida really knows how to scope em!

Alex Tenn

Salman! Its been a pleasure to be your friend and to learn from you for the past few months whether it was Bhangra, Coding or just through chilling and talking with you. You advice in all of these areas has been influential; More importantly hanging out with you was one of the many reasons Cape Town feels like home. I hope married life treats you well! If you are ever decide to come back to the East Coast , Beast Coast let me know!

Justus Scheder

Once a rocking boat
sent shivers down his spine,
may his life be joyful,
long and fine!
Enough of sweet talk,
back to coding!
Time to shine.
