Push Your Code, Pull the World: Git Basics

Event Description

What if you could become a highly paid coder by the end of 2025, learning all the necessary skills step by step on your own?

Imagine confidently building real-world projects, deploying them live, and showcasing your work.

This isn’t just a dream; it’s a plan. And it starts here.

Join me for a free, one-hour workshop to take you from a complete beginner to someone who knows how to build, deploy, and share live websites. This session is more than a coding class—it’s a roadmap to creating tangible projects that can open doors, whether you’re just starting or looking to gain an edge in the industry.

Why Attend?

Most people think coding is hard, but the truth is that anyone can start. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Build your first live website using simple tools and GitHub.
• Use Git and GitHub to manage, track, and deploy your projects.
• Showcase your work in a way that gets noticed by employers and collaborators.
• See the immediate results of your efforts and gain the confidence to keep growing.

This isn’t just theory—it’s action. By the end of the hour, you’ll have your website live and online, ready to share with the world.

What to Expect

Why Version Control?

Build Your Website

Design a resume-style webpage using HTML and CSS, complete with your bio, skills, and contact information. This simple yet professional project will become your first step into web development.

Master Push and Pull Workflows
