<P>The InstallFest on Friday is a time to get some help setting up a working Clojure development environment. If you'd prefer to set up your environment on your own you can skip that and work through <A HREF="https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum/blob/gh-pages/outline/setup.md" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the setup documentation</A> on your own.</P>
<P>You do not need to be at the whole InstallFest - drop in for an hour any time before 6 PM and 9 PM to get set up!</P>
<P>** Please do show up on time on Saturday.</P>
<H3>Workshop Description</H3>
<P>This workshop is for women interested in learning to program with <A HREF="http://clojure.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Clojure</A>, an expressive, general-purpose programming language.</P>
<P>People who identify as men are welcome to come and learn so long as they are guests of an attendee who does not identify as a man. ClojureBridge is emphatically queer and trans* friendly.</P>
<P>This is an <SPAN>introductory</SPAN> workshop. The focus is on those new to programming. Complete beginners are welcome! (If you have experience programming in another language and would like to learn Clojure, you may find the pace of the workshop slow.)</P>
<P>This workshop introduces data structures and functions, and provides opportunities to use them to create programs. We'll meet up on Friday to install all of the software you need, then spend Saturday learning and writing code.</P>

<H3>Transportation & Parking</H3>
<P>Parking in San Francisco is challenging, so public transport is likely a good option. CircleCI is just a six-minute walk from the Embarcadero Street BART and Muni Metro station. The area is also visited by several bus routes.</P>
<P>There is a parking garage adjacent to 201 Spear Street at the 75 Howard Garage (> $20/day) and within short walking distance at the Pier 30 Impark Lot (~$15/day).<BR></P>
<H3>Food & Drinks</H3>
<P>We'll have dinner and beverages on Friday evening, and breakfast, lunch, and snacks on Saturday. If you have any dietary restrictions, please note these when you register for the workshop.</P>
<H3>Childcare</H3>
<P><SPAN>When you RSVP you'll be asked a few question about your operating system, level and type of programming experience, and whether you will require childcare. Childcare and private space for nursing or pumping is available -- just let us know.</SPAN></P>
<H3>After-party</H3>
<P>Plan on grabbing food and drinks with us after the workshop on Saturday.</P>
