CodeUp Salford - Accelerate Learning New Tech (Talk)

Want to learn new technologies faster? Harry is going to be giving a short 20-minute talk on Docker at the next CodeUp (19th) showing how it can help with this. Docker is a free platform to download and run applications on your computer without complex setup.

The usual coding club will be running so come along if you are a complete beginner, have some basic skills you want to develop or just want to be in a space where people are immersed in code. CodeUp is a learner-led monthly meetup for adults learning how to code. You tell us what you need support with, and we will do our best to help. With professional developers on hand to help, don't struggle alone, let us help you develop your skills, for free!

All meetups are suitable for people learning any language, and at any level of knowledge. Just pop in and let us know how we can help.

Drop In: As usual, we will always be running our drop-in session where you can just rock up and speak to one of our mentors about any aspect of learning to code. We have mentors who can help with all languages, problems, and aspect of coding!

CodeUp Salford is a mentoring program for adults who would like to learn how to code for free. Once a month we intend to provide a workspace for people with no programming skills to come and learn the basics, with mentors available to answer your questions and help you on your way. Our sessions will also be suitable for people with basic skills who need support to develop them, and even for people with intermediate or advanced skills who just want to come along to space where everyone is immersed in code!

We have computers available for you to use but we suggest you bring your own laptop so you can continue at home.

NB If you are coming to CodeUp with a very specific question or problem, please comment with details so mentors can take a look and try to ensure they can help you!
