ClojureBridge (http://www.clojurebridge.org/) is a free, beginner-friendly workshop teaching the Clojure programming language, primarily aimed at those who identify as women, transgender & non-binary.
You’ll learn fundamental programming concepts in Clojure through practical examples and exercises. Teachers and assistants are there to guide you and help you build your first apps in Clojure.
The workshop is open to people who are completely new to programming, through to existing developers new to Clojure. We organise attendees into small groups with at least one teacher and one assistant.
Priority is given to those who identify as women, trans-gender or non-binary gender. Males may register as a guest of one of these participants via the form below or volunteer.
