Coding classes in Tongelre, where one farmhouse has five dates and no age

What are the best coding classes in Tongelre, Eindhoven?

Coding classes in Tongelre reach a stadsdeel of three statistics office wijken, Oud-Tongelre, De Laak and Doornakkers, all three read, with 23,660 residents in January 2026. On 't Hofke stands one of the oldest houses in Eindhoven. Its beams date from 1583, it was enlarged in 1600, its present appearance is eighteenth-century and its outside was restored in 2007/2008. The encyclopaedia gives no date for the house itself. So how old is it: 443 years, 426, about two or three centuries, or 18? Each is true of a different event, and none is true of the house. Modern Age Coders teaches live online in English from Urkhoven to the Villapark, ages 6 to 67, first lesson free, then USD 100 monthly in a group of five to ten or USD 150 one to one.

Ask how old a thing is and the question sounds complete. It is not. The farmhouse at 't Hofke 13 in the old heart of Tongelre has a timber frame from 1583, grew in 1600, took on its present face in the eighteenth century and had its outside restored early this century, and every one of those is a correct answer to how old it is, because each dates a different event. The same thing happens to every record a program touches: a file has one date for when it was created and another for when it was changed, a database row copied into a new system gets a fresh creation date, a line of code carries its own date inside a repository that is older than it. A date without its event is half a fact, and the half that is missing is the one that decides whether the number means anything.

Facts last verified 11 September 2026. Teaching is online; no Tongelre branch is claimed.

Course picks for Tongelre

Four courses for the east of Eindhoven

A groep 6 child in Doornakkers who keeps asking how old things are, a teenager in Oud-Tongelre planning an app that will need to know when each record was made and when it was changed, a student in De Laak whose data pipeline stamps everything with the day it ran, and an adult near 't Hofke who has inherited a spreadsheet full of dates with no labels. The first lesson for any of them is taught in full and costs nothing.

Tongelre today

A village until 1920, and three wijken now

Tongelre was an independent municipality in Noord-Brabant until 1920, when it was one of the villages joined to Eindhoven. The statistics office now divides it into three wijken, Oud-Tongelre, De Laak and Doornakkers, and ten buurten, which is also the count the encyclopaedia gives. Their areas add to 946 hectares, 920 of land and 27 of water, matching the 9.46 square kilometres of the encyclopaedia entry, so the three wijken are all of Tongelre. Their 2026 counts add to 23,660 residents, a sum of three published rows rather than a published total.

Oud-Tongelre, the old village and its green edge

9,216 residents on 649 hectares of land, with a published density of 1,379, far the lowest of the three. Five buurten: Koudenhoven, Karpen, 't Hofke, Muschberg Geestenberg and Urkhoven. One secondary establishment here teaches 1,200 pupils and two primary establishments 657.

De Laak, the Villapark and Lakerlopen

5,661 residents on 103 hectares in two buurten, the Villapark and Lakerlopen. The highest average income of the three, 42,400 euro per resident, and the highest estimated dwelling value, 449,000 euro. 55 percent of the 2,830 dwellings are rented.

Doornakkers, a wijk of families

8,783 residents on 168 hectares, in Doornakkers-West, Doornakkers-Oost and the Tongelresche Akkers. 1,490 residents are under fifteen and 1,305 of the 4,385 households have children. The single primary establishment teaches 420 pupils.

Around 't Hofke: a church, a town hall and a cigar factory

The encyclopaedia entry puts the heart of the old village at 't Hofke, around which all the important buildings, such as the church and the town hall, are grouped. The Sint-Martinuskerk, a neo-gothic cruciform basilica with three aisles, was consecrated in 1891 to a design by E. Corbey. The old town hall on 't Hofke dates from 1911 and is now a community centre. The Apollohuis at Tongelresestraat 81 is the former cigar factory of the firm Boelaars and Sons, built in 1919. The Collse Watermolen is listed among the landmarks, and the DAF Museum has occupied a building of several earlier uses since 1993. The page repeats these lines and goes no further.

One house, five dates

How old is the farmhouse at 't Hofke 13?

The encyclopaedia calls it one of the oldest houses in the municipality of Eindhoven and gives the dates below. Each row is an event with its year, and the age is simply 2026 minus that year. The last row is the one that matters.

The house as a wholenot givenno answernothing: the question has no event

Every figure in the third column is correct, and they run from eighteen years to four hundred and forty-three. The farmhouse is not uncertain about its age; it simply has no single age, because a building is not one event but a series of them, and the source is careful to date the beams, the enlargement and the appearance rather than the house. Saying it was built in 1583 would quietly promote the date of the oldest part to the date of the whole, which is the kind of claim that survives in brochures precisely because nobody asks which event it records. The same care applies across the square: the church was consecrated in 1891, which dates a ceremony, and the town hall dates from 1911, which left an independent Tongelre at most nine years of using it before the merger of 1920.

Verified local facts

The three wijken of Tongelre, with a year on every figure

Each wijk as published, and each figure labelled with the year the office gives it, because the rows themselves are a small lesson in the same idea. Then the sums, then the refusals.

Wijk Oud-Tongelre

9,216 residents (2026), 8,950 (2025) and 8,685 (2013); 4,690 men and 4,260 women (2025); 4,650 households averaging 1.9, 2,270 single-person, 1,270 with children (2025); 1,275 under fifteen, 1,380 aged fifteen to twenty-five, 2,505 aged twenty-five to forty-five, 2,215 aged forty-five to sixty-five, 1,805 over sixty-five (2026); 671 hectares, 649 land and 23 water; published density 1,379 (2025); 4,329 dwellings, 1,991 owner-occupied and 2,338 rented (2025); estimated 395,000 euro (2025); income 34,700 euro per resident and 41,400 per recipient (2024); 2 primary establishments with 657 pupils, 1 secondary with 1,200.

Wijk De Laak

5,661 residents (2026), 5,695 (2025) and 5,265 (2013); 3,035 men and 2,660 women (2025); 3,165 households averaging 1.8, 1,745 single-person, 675 with children (2025); 635 under fifteen, 830 aged fifteen to twenty-five, 2,010 aged twenty-five to forty-five, 1,355 aged forty-five to sixty-five, 815 over sixty-five (2026); 105 hectares, 103 land and 2 water; published density 5,529 (2025); 2,830 dwellings, 1,274 owner-occupied and 1,556 rented (2025); estimated 449,000 euro (2025); income 42,400 euro per resident and 49,900 per recipient (2024); 1 primary establishment with 966 pupils and no secondary.

Wijk Doornakkers

8,783 residents (2026), 8,785 (2025) and 7,170 (2013); 4,600 men and 4,185 women (2025); 4,385 households averaging 2.0, 2,065 single-person, 1,305 with children (2025); 1,490 under fifteen, 1,160 aged fifteen to twenty-five, 2,900 aged twenty-five to forty-five, 2,020 aged forty-five to sixty-five, 1,210 over sixty-five (2026); 170 hectares, 168 land and 2 water; published density 5,229 (2025); 4,056 dwellings, 1,704 owner-occupied and 2,352 rented (2025); estimated 364,000 euro (2025); income 32,000 euro per resident and 39,700 per recipient (2024); 1 primary establishment with 420 pupils and no secondary.

One row, five years

Read any card above and count the years inside it: residents are counted at the start of 2026, households, dwellings and values belong to 2025, income to 2024, and the older resident counts to 2013. A row labelled Oud-Tongelre 2026 would be dating the whole row by its newest field, exactly the move the farmhouse invites. The page never labels a row with one year and never combines figures across the years.

The sums

Residents 9,216 plus 5,661 plus 8,783 is 23,660 (2026). Land 920 hectares of 946. Households 12,200 and dwellings 11,215 (2025), of them 4,969 owner-occupied. Under fifteen 3,400 (2026), from 1,275, 635 and 1,490. Primary establishments 4 teaching 2,043 pupils; secondary 1 teaching 1,200.

What the page does not say

It does not say when the farmhouse was built, since the source does not; it does not claim the church was built in 1891, only consecrated then; and it does not read the growth of Doornakkers from 7,170 in 2013 to 8,783 now as a rate, since base years are the argument of other pages. It draws no conclusion from the dates of any landmark about the age of the village around it.

Modern Age Coders has no link with Tongelre, with Eindhoven, with the DAF Museum or with any school, church or landmark named here, and nothing on this page implies one. The three wijk rows are taken from their own statistics office pages with the year of each figure preserved as published. The farmhouse, the church, the town hall, the cigar factory and the 1920 date are copied from the encyclopaedia entry for Tongelre, which dates the parts and events of 't Hofke 13 and gives no date for the house as a whole.

Signature project

Every date belongs to an event, so store the event with it

A timestamp answers when did what happen. Leave out the what and the number can be attached to the wrong thing without anybody noticing.

1. Ask which event a date records

1583 is the beams. 1600 is the enlargement. The eighteenth century is the appearance. 2007/2008 is the restoration. Before any date is used, write down what happened on it, and the four stop competing to be the age of the house.

2. Keep several dates, each named

A record that can be created, changed, copied and restored needs a field for each of those, not one field called date. Once two events share one field, the later one overwrites the earlier and the history is gone for good.

3. Refuse to promote a part to the whole

The oldest beam does not date the house, the newest field does not date the row, and the first commit does not date every line of a program. When the question is about the whole, say that it has no single date, as the source does.

The same question, in five other places
The objectIts different datesThe date that usually gets shownWhat goes wrong
A file on a computercreated, last modified, last openedlast modifieda plain copy gets a new creation date and looks brand new
A database row moved to a new systemfirst recorded, imported, last updatedthe import datea ten-year-old customer appears to have joined last week
A program in version controlfirst commit, and a separate date for every linethe date of the latest releasecode written years ago is treated as freshly reviewed
A published datasetreference date, publication date, download datethe download datefigures for 2023 are presented as current
The farmhouse at 't Hofke 13beams 1583, enlarged 1600, face 18th century, restored 2007/2008whichever sounds bestthe oldest part is sold as the age of the whole

created_at and updated_at are the smallest version of a large idea

Almost every application framework adds two timestamps to every record, one for when it was created and one for when it was last changed, because a single date cannot answer both questions and the difference between them is often the most useful thing in the table. The discipline goes further than those two fields. A migration that copies rows into a new database tends to set their creation time to the day of the migration, unless somebody carries the original across on purpose, and afterwards nothing distinguishes a customer of ten years from one of ten days. Version control solves the same problem at a finer grain: a repository has a first commit, but every line in it carries the date of the change that last touched it, and asking how old the code is only makes sense line by line. Data pipelines add a third kind, the date the job ran, which is often mistaken for the date the data describes. The statistics rows on this page show the pattern in miniature, with residents counted at the start of 2026, homes in 2025 and income in 2024 inside a single row. The remedy everywhere is the same as for the farmhouse: name the event beside the date, keep a separate date for each event that matters, and when someone asks for the date of the whole, be willing to say that there is not one.

Reliable pipeline

Five habits for dates that mean what they say

File times, record timestamps, commit dates, release dates, reference dates and as-of labels all attach a number to an event, and all go wrong when the event is dropped. Practised on a farmhouse whose source dates every part except the whole.

For younger learners

A favourite toy described as a timeline: when it was bought, when it was mended, when it got a new wheel. The class discovers that the question how old is your toy has several right answers, and learns to ask which one.

For teenagers

A tiny notes app in Python whose notes keep a created and an updated time. Then a copy function that accidentally resets the created time, a test that catches it, and a fix that carries the original across.

For adults

A report from work with an as-of date on it. Adults find out which event that date really records, the data, the extraction or the printing, and frequently discover that a monthly figure was a quarter old.

The farmhouse is dated here only by the events the encyclopaedia names, and the house is left undated because the source leaves it undated. The three wijk rows keep the year of every figure exactly as the statistics office gives it, which is the practical form of the same habit. Every age in the table on this page is a single subtraction from 2026, and the eighteenth century is kept as a range rather than rounded into a year that nobody recorded.

Python Automation CourseData and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)
Coding and AI

Ask an AI when the farmhouse on 't Hofke was built and it will give a year. Why should a teenager in Doornakkers ask which part?

Because the source dates the beams, the enlargement, the face and the restoration, and never the house.

A language model asked when the farmhouse at 't Hofke 13 was built will very likely say 1583, since that is the earliest year beside the building in the text it has seen, and a question about when something was built seems to want the earliest year. The answer is fluent and specific, and it quietly changes the claim: the source says the beams are from 1583, not the house. Nothing in the reply reveals the change, because the number is correct; only the event it has been attached to is wrong, and a reader who does not know there were several events has no way to notice.

The learner who has written a copy function that reset every creation date, and watched a table of old records suddenly look new, recognises the pattern at once: a date is only as good as the event written next to it. Machine learning runs into this constantly, since training data carries collection dates, labelling dates and snapshot dates, and a model evaluated on data dated after its training period looks brilliant for the wrong reason. Models will keep picking one date and presenting it as the date. Asking what happened on that date remains a human habit.

The case for a child in Tongelre learning to code in 2026 is therefore not about the future at all. It is that anyone who has built a record with a created and an updated field learns to ask which event a date belongs to, and that question works on farmhouses, reports and machine answers alike. The longer argument is in why a child should still learn to code in 2026.

Delivery

Live classes for Oud-Tongelre, De Laak and Doornakkers

Tongelre runs from the Villapark and Lakerlopen out past 't Hofke to Urkhoven and Koudenhoven, and wherever a family lives in it, the hard part of a weekly class is the evening rather than the route.

From Urkhoven, no journey at all

From Urkhoven or Koudenhoven, any classroom in the city means a ride in and a ride home twice a week. Online, the learner opens a laptop at the agreed time and the journey is simply not part of the plan.

Dutch words for Dutch school

Groep, havo, vwo and profielkeuze stay in Dutch in every lesson, because they are the terms on every Tongelre school letter. The teacher meets the school vocabulary where it is rather than translating it away.

A lesson that is a lesson

The free hour is spent on a real task while the teacher watches how the learner works. It ends with a level, a course and a weekly time, and at no point does it ask for payment details or lead to a sales call.

Groups by stage, drawn widely

Five to ten learners who are at the same point in the same subject. Tongelre has 3,400 residents under fifteen, and five of them at one exact stage wanting one exact hour is rare, so groups are drawn from a worldwide pool.

Regio Zuid school holidays

Two lessons a week, about eight a month, at a fixed hour. Noord-Brabant follows regio Zuid holidays, on dates that differ from the western provinces, and the teaching calendar keeps to them from the first month.

The clock that moves is Dutch

India sits three and a half hours ahead in summer and four and a half in winter, and only the Dutch clock ever changes. After school, the early evening and weekend mornings remain available the whole year.

Four primary schools, one secondary, and a group from much further away

Tongelre has four primary establishments teaching 2,043 pupils and a single secondary establishment in Oud-Tongelre teaching 1,200. That is a modest amount of schooling for three wijken, and it makes no difference to how a coding group forms: five learners at the same stage of the same subject free at the same hour are found only in a pool that spans every age from 6 to 67 and every country the teachers serve.

Fees

The Tongelre fee, printed in dollars

Set out fully here, so the number is known before anyone talks to us.

First classUSD 0

A whole taught lesson that ends with a level and a named course.

Group tuitionUSD 100

Per month, normally eight lessons, five to ten learners placed by ability.

Private tuitionUSD 150

Per month, normally eight lessons, one learner with one teacher.

One dollar rate for every country and no euro list, so a house in the Villapark and a flat in Doornakkers are quoted the same. Nothing is paid until the free lesson has decided a course and a weekly hour, and payment is then arranged over WhatsApp. Pausing, changing format and missing a lesson are all covered on the pricing page.

FAQ

Tongelre coding class questions

The stadsdeel, its three wijken, one farmhouse with many dates, the lessons and the terms.

What does Tongelre include?

Three statistics office wijken: Oud-Tongelre, De Laak and Doornakkers, with ten buurten from Koudenhoven, Karpen and Urkhoven to the Villapark, Lakerlopen and the Tongelresche Akkers. Together they cover 946 hectares, 920 of them land, and held 23,660 residents in January 2026 by adding the three published counts.

How old is the farmhouse at 't Hofke 13?

It depends on which event is meant, and the source gives several. The beams date from 1583, the house was enlarged in 1600, its present appearance is from the eighteenth century and its outside was restored in 2007/2008. The encyclopaedia calls it one of the oldest houses in Eindhoven but gives no date for the house as a whole, so neither does this page.

Why does it matter which event a date belongs to?

Because the same object can honestly be given dates centuries apart. Saying the farmhouse was built in 1583 promotes the date of the beams to the date of the building. Programs meet the same problem with files, database rows and code, which is why records usually keep separate created and updated times.

Was Tongelre once a separate municipality?

Yes. Tongelre was an independent municipality in Noord-Brabant until 1920, when it joined Eindhoven. Its old town hall on 't Hofke dates from 1911 and is now a community centre, and the Sint-Martinuskerk nearby was consecrated in 1891 to a design by E. Corbey.

What is the Apollohuis?

The former cigar factory of the firm Boelaars and Sons at Tongelresestraat 81, built in 1919, according to the encyclopaedia entry for Tongelre. The same entry notes that the DAF Museum has been housed since 1993 in a building that had several uses before it.

How many schools and children are in Tongelre?

Adding the three wijk rows: four primary establishments teaching 2,043 pupils and one secondary establishment, in Oud-Tongelre, teaching 1,200. The published under-fifteen counts, 1,275, 635 and 1,490, add to 3,400. The page makes no claim about the quality or results of any school.

What language are lessons in, and when?

English, with Dutch school words such as groep, havo and vwo kept in Dutch. India is three and a half hours ahead in summer and four and a half in winter, so after-school, early-evening and weekend slots all fit. One weekly time is agreed at the free lesson, and holidays follow regio Zuid.

Is there a Modern Age Coders classroom in Tongelre?

No, and none is claimed here, elsewhere in Eindhoven or anywhere in the Netherlands. All teaching is live and online and needs a laptop or desktop, working audio, a current browser and a connection that holds. The telephone number shown on this page is an Indian one and is described as such.

What do Tongelre coding classes cost?

The first lesson is free. After it, group tuition is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, normally eight across the month, in a group of five to ten learners. One-to-one tuition is USD 150 a month at the same frequency with a single teacher. Course, format, recurring hour and availability are all confirmed before anything is paid.

How many learners are in a group?

Five to ten, matched on level, pace and goal rather than on age, school or address. One-to-one means a single learner with a single teacher. When no group at the right level is running, a family can take one-to-one lessons or wait for the next group to form.

Explore Eindhoven and beyond

West to the old town, south to Stratum, and on across Brabant

Brainport, the international schools and the figures for the whole city are on coding classes in Eindhoven, which now links all seven stadsdeel pages. West of Tongelre is the old town, on Eindhoven Centrum, and just south is Stratum, where three correct densities average to a wrong one. The province around the city is Noord-Brabant, with its other towns to follow in this series. A learner who wants machine learning above all can go straight to the AI and Python Academy, and the Netherlands coding hub holds every page together.
