Rust is a language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Let's meet for open hacking and (co)-learning in our bi-weekly learning group!

Everyone is welcome. Rusties of all skill levels meet and hack on cool Rust stuff. Please bring a computer.

Never written a single line of Rust, but interested in the language? There will be people around to get you set up and going.

Already have a project? Just hack on it or find others interested in contributing. If you have something working, you can put it on the big screen and show everyone.

Don't have a project yet? There are lots of ideas and cool projects floating around that you can work on!

Here are some ideas if you don't know what to hack on:

• Install Rust https://www.rust-lang.org/downloads.html .

• Read the Rust book https://doc.rust-lang.org/

• Complete Rustlings (a great beginners course!) https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

COVID-19 update: We are moving all our Co-Learnings online for the time being. Also with everything up and a shortage of organizers (talk to us if you want to help!) we moved to a BI-WEEKLY SCHEDULE.

Please sign up to our Slack (https://opentechschool.slack.com/join/shared_invite/zt-1mpx31hk2-C0~bk3sXUhzyT57f8J4Smg) and find this meetup in the #bln-frontend-colearning channel. We are using a combination of video calls and typing in the chat.

This is all about building things in the browser. Mostly HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We are a friendly group, offering a space to learn together and work on our projects. There's always someone around that is happy to help you or would love to get some help. No matter if you are an absolute beginner or an experienced expert, we want to learn from each other.

If you don't have a project to work on or don't know where to start it's also a good idea to do some online classes or tutorials. We're here to help with that, too. For example check out some of our OpenTechSchool workshop material:

JavaScript for Beginners: https://opentechschool.github.io/js-beginners-1/
Intro to HTML/CSS: https://cssclass.es/materials/

Our code of conduct applies: https://www.opentechschool.org/code-of-conduct/

COVID-19 update: We are holding all our Co-Learning virtually. If you want to attend, please sign up to our Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/opentechschool/shared_invite/zt-bbyjo92d-xtpp3Wz0kt_NoTQcMQT4rw

This is a work group of Python and Ruby learners, meeting up every other week to continue learning on python. As always there will be experienced Coaches around but we also just learn from each other. You can just check the RSVP-List for people tagged "coach" and feel free to contact any of them directly at the event.

This group is open to total beginners in programming, who want to learn Python or Ruby, as well as to people, who are further or just have specific questions and/or need help with related topics. Please don't forget to bring your own laptop.

The OpenTechSchool Python Coaches (https://groups.google.com/a/opentechschool.org/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/coaches.python) release all their learning material at learn.opentechschool.org (http://learn.opentechschool.org/). Feel free to take a look.

Find this meetup in the #server-side channel.

We learn server side programming together! Want to setup a blog using Wordpress? Program your first Django or Rails app? Install an audio server on a Raspberry Pi? Improve your testing skills?

Whether your language of choice is Ruby, Python, PHP or something entirely different, come along. There will be coaches present who can help you with Ruby, Python, PHP and Go. If we don’t know something, let’s figure it out together!

This group is open to total beginners in programming as well as to more experienced programmers who want to get their feet wet in another language or explore new topics.

If possible, bring your own laptop. We have some computers available, but they are a bit slow. Snacks are also very welcome!

Our learning materials are available under https://learn.opentechschool.org.

We run a short intro round at the beginning of the meetup where everyone can say what their project is or how they can help others.

We speak German and English.

IMPORTANT NOTES & LINKS:

• The RSVP-function will be open 7 days before a meetup takes place.

• If you don't have a project to work on, it is often a good idea to do a tutorial or some exercises. See our discourse thread (http://discourse.opentechschool.org/t/ruby-co-learning-resources) that includes our favorites (and add your own).
