There has been few request to teach programming basics from the group. So here we go. Will post the date as soon as the content is ready. Please keep the RSVPs coming as this event will get sold out. 20 seats max.
All the money comes in from tickets will be used to cover meetup dues and anything over will be donated to a charitable organization and a receipt of that will be sent out to attendees.
Though I have seen and been to many events/meetups regarding programming, I have hardly seen any events capable to really address and answer the question - Why do you wanna write code?
This session covers the basics of programming in a magical way. Instead of juggling with syntax, we will look into what happens when a program runs and understand some of the core fundamentals of Computer science. This is designed to be very helpful for beginners/programmers who are informally educated and does not have a CS degree; to understand what happens behind the scenes. Will be useful as a refresher cource even if you have a CS degree.
Not to mention, you could very well impress your next interviewer with the knowledge you gain over the fundamentals.
Now to answer the question - I write code; cause it is magical.
We will use C, C++, C#, Javascript along the way
