Learn to code with Go!

WWG and GoBridge are joining forces to teach a beginners course in Go!

This workshop is aimed for anyone that identifies themselves as a woman and want to learn to code.

Programme

This is an introductory event. The focus will be on learning programming fundamentals using Go.

This course aims to take those who are new to programming, and with the help of the Go programming language, help them get their first steps into this world.

In this course you'll learn about the building blocks of programs, write your first apps and at the end of it, be able to make your application "talk" with another application over the internet in order to display the information needed.

(Please note RSVPs should be done via BridgeTroll - see link below)
