Event Details
Are you interested in learning how to code, but not sure if a seven-month developer training program is right for you? Do you want to get a feel for what it's like to be a Turing student? Schedule: Saturday August 25th: 10:00am - 4:30pm Sunday August 26th: 10:00am - 4:30pm Writing Code? Programming is everywhere. There are thousands of open, interesting, high-paying jobs for software developers in Colorado and across the country. The myth is that every programmer starts hacking away in a basement at the age of 6. The reality is that many programmers come from backgrounds like architecture, music, history, and the military. Our mission is to equip great people with the skills to succeed in programming careers. No prior experience needed! What You Will Learn? Back-End Engineering Day On this day, you'll learn the basics of Ruby—a popular programming language for building web applications and writing back-end code. We'll cover how to navigate around your computer using the terminal, read and write files, and write your own command line applications. By the end of the day, you'll have built your very own program to post tweets and read timelines from Twitter. Front-End Engineering Day On the second day, you'll learn the basics of front-end engineering. We'll cover HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll learn how to create, style, and add interactivity to web pages. By the end of the day, you'll build a game from scratch that runs in the browser. Why You, Why Now? Because you have absolutely nothing to lose! If you've ever thought about it - try it. Don't waste another day, come explore with us. Nuts & Bolts Doors will open at 9:40 and we'll have coffee on-hand We'll talk and work until about 12 when we break for a catered lunch After lunch we'll talk and work until 3:45 At 3:45 we'll talk about next steps to keep learning and look at how to become a student at Turing At 4pm we'll be done and available for 1-on-1 questions At 4:30 doors close Follow-Ups If you attend the workshop and decide to apply to Turing School, you'll receive $500 off the cost of your tuition if you're accepted. FAQ Don't see the answer you need below? Questions? Contact Erin Williams at [email protected] 1. Do I need to bring a computer? You will need a computer for this class. It does not matter what the operating system is as long as you are able to access the internet through a browser. However, if you do not have one, a limited number of loaner computers are available for the class. Contact [email protected] if you need to reserve a loaner. 2. Where do I park? The attached garage to the building is $7 on weekends, and meters are free on Sundays. 3. Is the space accessible? Yes, we have an elevator to our space and all classrooms are accessible. 4. I want to attend but I can't afford it. Are there any scholarships available? We are offering scholarships on a limited basis for students with financial need. Please contact [email protected] for more information. 5. When should I arrive for the Try Turing Saturday? Please arrive by 9:40 on Saturday morning to register and get settled. 7. Are kids welcome? Generally people high-school age or older can keep up with the class and are very much invited. Unfortunately the venue does not have enough space for child care, so younger ones will need to spend their Saturday somewhere else.
