We'll cover HTML, CSS, and Javascript. You'll learn how to create, style, and add interactivity to web pages. On this day, you’ll leave class having coded your own code project.<h3>Why You, Why Now?</h3>Because you have nothing to lose! If you've ever wondered about software development as a career option - try it.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.<h3>FAQ</h3>Don't see the answer you need below? Questions? Contact trycoding@turing.edu.1.

When we send a pre-work reminder for the class we will send specific information on how to connect to the Zoom classroom we will be using. We recommend that you download Zoom now to ensure it is compatible with your computer.2. When will I receive the pre-work for class? What if I have questions about pre-work?<a href="https://try.turing.io/frontend-online/pre-work/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prework for this class can be found here.</a> Your instructor will also send a reminder about pre-work for the online class 2 days before class begins. At that time, they will also send the contact information of our Teaching Assistants (TA's). TA's will be available to answer any and all questions about pre-work and support you before class begins.3. I registered for the class within 2 days before it's start date- will I have enough time to prep and complete the pre-work before class?Depending on your schedule- yes! We recommend reserving 25-45 minutes to complete the pre-work. Technically, you could register day of at 7 AM, complete the pre-work from 7 AM - 8:30 AM and join us at 9:00 AM when class starts. However, this option wouldn't give you access to our Teaching Assistants if you had questions, so we suggest registering at least 1-2 days before the start date.4. What equipment should I have for this online class?A computer that can connect to the internet via a web browser. We recommend using headphones to minimize distractions and ensure you can access the information. It will also be beneficial to find a quiet working space where you will be able to focus during the duration of the course.5. 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 trycoding@turing.edu for more information.6. Are kids welcome?This is a course designed for professional level adults and is not designed for kids. We ask that individuals under age 17 do not register to attend.7. I’ve already practiced some code as a hobby or through CodeAcademy - will I still benefit from this course?This course is designed for people who are brand new to code and have never tried it before. That doesn’t mean that those with some experience aren’t welcome or will not benefit from it, but some parts may be a review. 8. What is the refund policy?If for any reason you can’t make it to the event, tickets are refundable up to 24 hours before. If the event has passed then we are happy to transfer your ticket to any upcoming Try Coding.*Cancellation of events are dependent on a variety of factors including registrations, inclement weather and pressing needs that come up.
