Women Who Code NYC

Javascript Study Group

Jun 23, 2014 · 6:30 PM
164 West 81st Street

If you're new to coding, this will be an excellent introduction to one of the hippest languages out there as well as being pretty easy to learn + start building 'stuff' almost immediately! Looking forward to seeing you there!

We welcome people of all levels, but beginners are especially encouraged. You move at your own pace in this group, so it doesn't matter if you are a fast or slow learner.

This is the first series for Women Who Code-NYC and the language is...(drum roll please!) Javascript!

Oh Rats! I didn't realize this study group started on June 2nd and tonight is the last of 4 meetings in the series? Sorry, I guess I will have to hold off attending until there is a more beginner level.
