Great -- very helpful TAs and instructors. The organization of the content to guide the entire class through the same progression was lacking, though, and everybody seemed to be all over the place. Since the instructors were working with smaller groups and they were eager to help and answer questions, it worked out. Next time I would sort groups by level of experience and OS, not randomly.

No webcast. It is a interactive learning experience. Webcast won't work. 6-9 instructors will be there to help.

It would be great if you can cover the basics of github since people need more familiarity. Then if you can cover
1) Collaborative Code review,
2) repositories and how to build them,
3) issue tracking, version control etc. topics
Would be a great learning for the team present.1 · January 27, 2014

Since first registering for this meetup months ago, I've actually gotten pretty decent with GitHub. Therefore, I'm giving up my spot to someone else who can get more out of attending. Enjoy!

Excellent demo and polishing skills. The TAs were very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I liked the concept of breaking up into teams. Thanks Vivian for organizing this. Thanks Thoughworks for the venue.
