SUMMARY:FREE Workshop: Intro to Coding with Javascript-- the language of Facebook!
DESCRIPTION:Learn the fastest growing computer language\nWant to learn the fastest growing computer programming language there is? Its name is JavaScript and we’re hosting a free workshop to teach you the basics.\nJavaScript is used in building web applications by some of the Internet’s biggest sites\, including Groupon\, Facebook\, Netflix\, and Twitter. It’s not the easiest programming language\, but it is one of the most powerful ones\, and our teaching staff will help you learn the basics! You’ll go from JavaScript Newbie to JavaScript semi-proficient in one sitting.\nAll you’ll need to attend is a laptop with the Sublime Text Editor installed and a minimum attention span of two hours. Let’s DO it.\nWho should come\nWho should come? The answer is anyone who’s ever thought about learning to code! Here’s why:\n1)   If you’ve been thinking about learning to code for a while\, you’ll finally get to try it in a guided environment.\n2)   In less than 2 hours\, you’ll learn tricks that will change the way you interact with your computer.\n3)   If you’re thinking of investing serious time and money into learning to code\, you should give it a shot first!\nEntrance is free\, but you MUST reserve a general admissions ticket on Eventbrite to attend.\nAbout Ironhack\nIronhack is an international coding bootcamp that believes the best way to learn how to do something\, is by actually doing it. This ideology is reflected in its teaching practices\, which consist of nine-week immersive programming courses aimed to graduate students as full-stack junior web developers. We’re also one of the only coding bootcamps in the country that’s made the jump into teaching full-stack JavaScript!\nOn average\, the students log in over 400 hours of work throughout the course\, finishing with a final project web app that they present to the local tech scene.
