About this Event

This Online Try Coding Workshop with Turing School of Software & Design is for individuals who have some introductory experience with Back-End programming and are looking for another opportunity to explore their interest in software development. If you have attended a Try Coding Workshop with Turing School in the past, this workshop is your next chance to determine if learning how to code at the Turing School is a great fit for you.

This class will have one Turing instructor and a teaching assistant in a virtual classroom who will guide you and other attendees through a structured curriculum where you will write code on your own and collaboratively with other students. 

Course Content

In this single session class, participants will write code in Ruby, a Back-End programming language, and will learn about various ways to structure data efficiently.

Schedule

• Wednesday, September 16 from 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time
• During break, there will be an industry panel discussion with software developers. Have questions about the life of a developer or making a career change into tech? Get them answered here!

Who Should Register?

If you’ve attended both of Turing’s Back-End & Front End Try Coding Workshops, or have spent at least 10+ hours learning about the basics of Ruby, you’ll be prepared for this workshop. Participants should be comfortable with the content covered in our Back-End Try Coding Curriculum or sections 1-3 of Codecademy’s Learn Ruby course.

This more advanced, fast-paced, workshop is not for individuals who are beginners and brand new to code. If you are a beginner, please register for one of Turing’s introductory Try Coding Workshops and be on the lookout for another Try Coding 2.0 Workshop event to be added soon.

Additional information is located at the bottom of this page in the FAQ section. 

What You Will Learn?

Primarily working in Ruby, a Back-End programming language, participants will learn about various ways to organize data in a program. The concepts involved in this include:

Arrays

Hashes

Nested Collections
