(Note: this is part five of a six part series for women that are interested in learning more about the world of software engineering. If you didn’t attend our previous events but meet the prerequisites listed below for this event, please join us!)

ABOUT THIS EVENT

HTML? Check.

CSS? Check.

We’ve built and styled our first webpage. Let’s move on to JavaScript!

JavaScript is the programming language that makes web pages interactive. But that’s not where it stops: it can also be used for servers, phone apps, and much, much more, making it an excellent choice as your first language to learn.

In this fifth part of our event series that caters to women that have yet to explore the world of technology and code, we will cover the basics of JavaScript and introduce some interactivity to the website we’ve been working on over the past two events (or one that we provide, if you missed them).

By the end of the event, you will have learned some basic programming techniques and concepts that will be translatable to other programming languages.

PREREQUISITES

Basic HTML & CSS

TECH REQUIREMENTS

Your laptop

A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)

A text editor - we recommend Visual Studio Code (free)

ABOUT THE SERIES

Whether you've always been curious as to what software engineers do or are looking to explore what a pivot into tech might look like, this series will leave no stone unturned.

We will meet weekly (on Thursdays) until March, with sessions on other aspects of software engineering, such as the path to becoming a software engineer, as well as the basics of CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Finally, during our last event, attendees will use the knowledge gained and launch their first application.

Join us! We look forward to seeing you at all of them!
