June NodeSchool Helsinki

Welcome to NodeSchool Helsinki, the June 2018 edition!

While there is no attendee limit, too many times recently only a handful of registered attendees actually show up on the day. Please, only RSVP when know for certain you can attend. Equally, or perhaps even more important is that you cancel in the event you can't attend after you've signed up.

This time the meet-up is co-organized in co-operation with Helsinki Entrepreneurship Society and Haaga-Helia StartUp School, and supported by Helsinki region chamber of commerce.

Helsinki Entrepreneurship Society is a non-profit student-led community of Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences & Helsinki Business College.

As usually, we will have the normal NodeSchool workshoppers, but mentors will help you with any JavaScript related questions you might have.

About NodeSchool

NodeSchool is a friendly way to learn JavaScript and Node.js programming together with other people. If you have a laptop and already know some other programming language, this is a nice way to learn JavaScript and get to know the community. If you don't know any programming language, JavaScript is a great language to start your journey into programming. NodeSchool Helsinki chapter meets on a monthly basis.

We use Slack (HelNode team, https://helnode.slack.com) for communicating between events, sign up for free at: https://helnode.typeform.com/to/q6tHHI

How does it work?

The nodeschool.io (https://nodeschool.io/) website lists the available Workshoppers - interactive tutorials that you can run at your own pace. The mentors are available for help and chit-chat whenever you need. You can join the event for learning, or just meeting the fellow JavaScripters. We usually work in pairs or small groups of people on a similar skill level - together it is more fun, and you learn better.

No previous Node.js experience required - if you already know the basics of JavaScript or any other programming language, you are good to go!

Our friendly hosts will provide some snacks & beverages.

Call for Students

Please sign-up to the event on our meetup page, install Node.js and some of the workshoppers before the event. Just in case anything goes wrong, we can help you at the event, or through our Slack.

It's equally fine to just show up to the event and select your Workshopper on location. If you have any questions, the Helsinki Node.js community and the organisers can be reached on the #nodeschool channel on our HelNode Slack.

Call for Mentors

NodeSchool is a largely self-paced way of learning, but without tutors bridging the unavoidable gaps a lot of the benefits of the common space is lost. The more tutors we can reach, the more fun we can make the events.

If you're interested, please join the #nodeschool channel on the HelNode Slack and speak to any of the organisers.
