Learn coding basics (even if you've never coded before)
Details
Hi all!
We are looking to build a community here, so if you interest is just to get into coding, please come along and we can help out - all levels and interests are more than welcome.
All levels of coding are welcome! We can continue doing some basic coding using HTML, CSS, and maybe some JS if we are feeling up to it (I'll teach if people are interested). Usually there will be some people around to help anyone with issues.
We are also holding these sessions for anyone to come along and ask questions about the course. We know it's a big decision and a lot of money, and we are keen to give you as much information as you need to make the right call.
We are offering some more structured content for anyone interested:
### CV advice
Are you currently applying for jobs? Come along to get some advice on:
- Resume
- Cover letters
- Portfolio
- Code challenges
- Interviews
### Build and deploy your first webpage I
What is HTML and how does it work? In this session we’ll:
- Install a code editor
- Generate an HTML document
- Learn how the browser understands markup
- Add some content and styling
- Deploy your basic webpage to the world!
(Deploy is via drag and drop to Netlify)
### Build and deploy your first webpage II
Coming in future weeks.
Depends on the progress we make.
### Bootcamp info session
Thinking about doing Liskov bootcamp? Come along to meet Matt and get all your questions answered.
### Q and A with a former student
Meet a former student now working as a developer. Ask them anything! If we get a few starters we'll get a few ex-students along for a chat.
### Types of career paths/jobs in the IT industry
For people who are thinking of changing careers or moving to an adjacent/related role in IT. Apparently there are event people who use UX design as a stepping stone to a programming career (seems like a long and windy road though).
These will occur at least once a fortnight, so if you miss one you can get to the next one - the schedule will be updated on the site, and here.
Here's a list of some of the activities that we could play around with if there are a few people there (will depending on timing and attendance):
- Basics of getting into coding (Beginners HTML, CSS, JS)
- Coding in [Rooms.xyz](http://rooms.xyz/)
- Q and A
- BYO issues (we solve their problems if we can)
- Build a webpage in quick time
- Notion tutorial
- SpaceTeam
- What are the jobs and industries that these courses lead to (with examples)?
Come and have a chat!
