Coder Forge @ DFC
September 6, 2016
When: Thursday 15 September, 2016
Where: Dublin Food Coop, 12 Newmarket, - Dublin 8
This meetup hopes to provide a weekly space for people interested in learning to code. With the current technology available to us it is perfectly feasible to trade as a coder whilst you learn your full skill set. No different to any other apprenticeship. Also using this method gives you the chance to see if coding or software development is something you’re interested in, it gives you a chance to test the market. These “forges” also hope to balance some of the shortfalls to the method of training used within some of our educational institutions today, which always appear to be behind the technology that is required by current market forces. At a coder forge the format is flexible enough to change from nodejs to php or from python to whatever the next new big thing is. It is entirely up to those that are present. The coder forges are modeled on the popular “coder-dojo”, but with a focus on adults rather than kids, and thus an ability to learn where to find work online and in the locality can also be introduced.
