NYC Codecademy August Meetup

August 7, 2012 · 7:00 PM
Codecademy HQ

Group,

I'm pleased to announce that our August meetup will be held on Tuesday, August 7th at Codecademy HQ.

The meetup is open to Codecademy students and coding enthusiasts at all levels of experience.

Please join us for a mix of networking, demos, discussion covering, in part:

Our individual goals in learning to code
Our experiences with Codecademy lessons
Recommended tools and resources for furthering our studies
Q&A on programming languages
Career paths and market trends

If you have a topic you're interested in learning more about, or have something you're working on which you'd like to demo for the group, please let me know. This is a great opportunity to practice your teaching skills in a relaxed and friendly environment, as well as bringing up any questions that are on your mind (there are no stupid questions!)

Just a heads up, we may be joined by Bloomberg News, who are interested in taking some photos for a news segment they are doing about Codecademy.

Finally, if you need to change your plans and can't make it, please update your RSVP so other group members can attend.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks, I look forward to the next event, though I am super bummed to miss this one. :/

No problem Carmela, you're more than welcome at the next event, especially with your new html5 skills to share with the group! We'll be wrapping up 9-9:30 so you might miss us this time around.

Hey Ron, what time do you think this event will go until? I just realized my HTML 5 class goes till 9:20, so I wouldn't be able to arrive till about 10. I really doubt you'd be going that late, or very much later than that. I reeeally want to attend but my job is paying for these classes which means the planets have aligned (because they never pay for training.) Will I still be able to attend the following event since I can't make this one?
