Intro to Coding | FREE Online Livestream | August 16

Explore the programming languages that power the web and write your first line of code.

During our online introductory workshop, explore the building blocks of the web — HTML and CSS — and learn how you can apply these programming languages to develop your own simple sites.

What will the remote learning experience be like?

• Ask questions and interact with peers and expert instructors — all in real time. Collaborate via live chat, voice, and video.
• Complete hands-on coursework in an online classroom designed to keep you engaged and focused.
• Gain accountability and guidance from your instructor and fellow classmates to help you turn skills into career success.

By writing your own lines of code, you’ll:

• Get a closer look at how the developer community and many different fields benefit from coding knowledge.

• Learn how HTML and CSS function together to form the backbone of the web.

• Cover key coding terms and principles.

• Develop a custom, working web page from scratch.

  Chart your own career path.

Meggan is an alumna of GA's Software Engineering Immersive, and she now works as a Front End Engineer at Catalpa. She loves coding for the problem solving aspect, and because there's always something new to learn. Prior to studying, Meggan was lucky enough to work at GA, which is where she fell in love with the Sydney tech community and decided to pursue web development full time.

When she's not writing code, you can find her rock climbing, swimming with sharks, or doing something else that makes her parents nervous.

She also really likes dogs.
