Try Coding Front & Back End AUGUST 11-12

We are on a mission to unlock human potential by training a diverse, inclusive student body to succeed in high-fulfillment technical careers. We believe in a world powered by technology where the people building it represent the people using it.

If you ever thought about exploring whether code and the technology field is for you - here is your chance! The Turing School provides the opportunity to learn, practice and decide if this is something you want to pursue through our Try Coding workshops. No previous experience or knowledge about programming is needed.

<H2 CLASS="text-center">What You Will Learn at Try Coding</H2>
At Turing we offer two different programs of study and we like to run these workshops in the same way: splitting between back-end and front-end.
Think about loading the Amazon.com web page: the front-end engineers wrote the code to present products, built the interface for adding things to your cart, and make the page load quickly in your browser. The back-end engineers wrote the code to figure out which products to recommend, to charge your credit card, and to send the confirmation emails after a purchase.
Saturday is focused on Back-End. We'll use the Ruby programming language to build text-based programs. We'll manipulate some data and explore what it's like "behind the scenes." Successful back-end engineers work to build expertise in object-oriented programming, test-driven development, APIs, and other practices to build high-performance software.
Sunday we'll move to Front-End. We'll cover HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll learn how to create, style, and add interactivity to web pages. By the end of the day, you'll build a game from scratch that runs in the browser.
<H2>What is the Turing School?<IMG ALT="" SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/167493782/turingjun2018softwaredevelopmentcoding286129.jpg"></H2>
 
Turing is a growing, thriving community helping each other become more than what they thought  possible. Turing instructors blend a deep knowledge of education pedagogy and classroom experience with expertise in software development to make students  job-ready after seven months of in-depth training. You will get a chance to learn more about the community and our programs at the workshop

<H2>FAQ</H2>
Don't see the answer you need below? Questions? <A HREF="mailto:erin@turing.io" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Contact Erin Williams at erin@turing.io</A> 
1. Do I need to bring a computer?
You will need a computer for this class. It does not matter what the operating system is as long as you are able to access the internet through a browser. However, if you do not have one, a limited number of loaner computers are available for the class. Contact ramiro@turing.io if you need to reserve a loaner. 
2. Where do I park?
The attached garage to the building is $7 on weekends, and meters are free on Sundays.
3. Is the space accessible? 
Yes, we have an elevator to our space and all classrooms are accessible.
4. 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 erin@turing.io for more information.
5. When should I arrive for the Try Turing Saturday? 
Please arrive by 9:40 on Saturday morning to register and get settled. 
7. Are kids welcome? 
Generally people high-school age or older can keep up with the class and are very much invited. Unfortunately the venue does not have enough space for child care, so younger ones will need to spend their Saturday somewhere else.
