Guess what? You too can make a presentation! :) Are you passionate about a specific subject, a software or a website? Please, share with us!

You can make a live tutorial, show a tool or website that you like to use, share some useful career tips.

You don't need to have 1000 years of experience to share tips with us. If you just learned a tutorial the week before and you think it is useful to share with us, please do!

So are you excited now? You want to try and make a presentation? Please fill this template and paste it in the comments section below (and make sure you have an HDMI port on your laptop).

TOPIC: Write a short and concise summary
LEVEL: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced?
DURATION: How long will it last? (between 5mn and 30mn maximum)
PRE-REQUISITE (optional): Do we need a Mac/PC? install a software? read something before coming?

=================================

COFFEE BREAK (2pm - 2.30pm)
That's a great opportunity to enjoy coffee (what is a web developer without coffee...) and socialize! :)

PART 2 - WORKSHOP (2.30pm - 4pm)

Go to this link:
https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript

And do those sections:

• INTRODUCTION TO JAVASCRIPT
• FUNCTIONS

Of course you can do more if you like. Or do them during the workshop. But please note any questions, difficulties, you may have. Or if you have questions related to Javascript but not this course in particular, take advantage of the presence of our code mentors! ;)

Experienced developer? Become a Code Mentor!
If you are an experienced developer, take this opportunity to help others to learn and progress. I will give you a badge so that people can easily recognize you and ask for help.

Teaching other people is a great experience, it can help you to consolidate your programming skills, to improve your communication skills (i.e, how to explain complex programming concepts with simple words) and to be recognized by your peers. Try! You have nothing to lose and it's fun! :)
