What we're about
We're here to learn about programming and computer science in a fun, informal environment -- and also to provide moral support to fight the fears and frustrations that come with learning a new skill or transitioning to a new career.

Stuff we do at Learn to Code LA:
• Learn programming fundamentals through a variety of languages and platforms together in small groups or pair programming -- everything from short tutorials to day-long hackathons/learnathons!
• Workshops -- build something tangible and learn new skills in our structured group classes!
• Co-working and casual learning -- work on your own projects independently while enjoying the company of like-minded people.
• Discussion groups, especially for language-agnostic topics. (Maybe even a book club?)
• Project show-and-tell -- get feedback, generate ideas, or just show off your mad skillz!
• And other random, fun activities like geeky movie nights and joint events with other meetups!
Upcoming events (4+)
Join our Thursday meetup in Koreatown to work on projects, study, and socialize! This is for all skill levels and programming languages -- total beginners are always welcome! Note that there is no formal lesson plan; we're here to help each other out as peers and collaborators.
We are outside in back patio. There are heat lamps. Please dress accordingly.

Join us for the RETURN OF IN PERSON meetups; for info on how to join the video chat, join our Slack and introduce yourself in our #DTLA channel!
Free parking is usually available earlier in the meetup time, but there are paid structures and free parking along the side streets.
Seats are very limited so the earlier you arrive, the better chance you'll find parking and a seat. We try to be as accommodating as the venue allows us, but we are operating in a "first come, first serve" basis.
