The Topic: Embracing Authenticity as a Strength for Success in Tech.

Join us for an insightful session with the guest Jessica, Microsoft Engineer. She is an experienced developer, educator, technology advocate and mentor. Specializing in developer education through technical presentations, videos, and tutorials, Jessica is passionate about driving positive change through technology and education.

Learn the basics of Git & GitHub for collaborative coding. This workshop offers a brief introduction followed by practical exercises. Master version control with Git and GitHub through hands-on learning.

In coding, mastering a programming language is just one piece of the puzzle. Managing changes and collaborating effectively are crucial. Git, a leading version control system, is essential for seamless project management and collaboration.

In this workshop, we'll dive into using Git, GitHub, and the command line to manage project changes, store code remotely, and collaborate effectively. If you've struggled with Git in the past, don't worry. We'll guide you through practical exercises to simulate real-world Git workflows and ensure you grasp the concepts thoroughly.

About this event

Interested in transitioning into a career in Tech? You're not alone, and it's entirely within your reach. According to Stackoverflow's latest survey with over 70,000 respondents, over 40% didn't learn to code in school (university, college). The report also reveals a year-over-year surge in online coding education, rising from 60% to a remarkable 70%. This three-week program will help attendees craft, practice, refine and ultimately nail their pivot story.  Each attendee will walk away from this program with a solid pitch they can use to answer to answer the question, "So, tell me about yourself" in a way that sells yourself and the pivot you are making. 

This program includes the following workshops & sessions
