The NYC Codecademy Chapter presents:

Crash & Build Series: Crash Course on HTML & CSS

About this event

Don't get stuck in tutorial hell! How many times are you going to re-learn the same lessons over and over again? It's time to sit down, let go of the deadweight and grab the next rung on the ladder. We are going to do away with the details and technicalities and focus on what works and how to put it together to make it work for us.

Should You Attend This Event?

YES IF:

You are new to HTML and/or CSS
You know a little about HTML and/or CSS but want to learn more
You are struggling to "put it all together" and work on your own projects
You want to review the fundamentals

NO IF:

You are already well-versed in HTML and CSS
You don't need any help with HTML or CSS
You are looking for more advanced topics like JavaScript, Front-end Frameworks, etc.

TIME: 15:00 EST (that's 3pm NYC time)
DATE: Jan 22, 2021 (Friday)

Are you interested in attending? Awesome! Just follow the link to the Crash & Build Series event page and RSVP. We can't wait to meet you all!

NYC Codecademy Chapter 2021 Welcome Event

Hi everyone! I'm the co-leader of the NYC Codecademy chapter and I wanted to share that we are hosting our chapter welcome event today and tomorrow! (exciting 😃). Both events will be online at 3pm EST. Here's the event info:

Welcome to the New York City Codecademy Chapter! Let's welcome the new year with a fun meet and greet event for all chapter members. We will introduce ourselves, talk about our interests, and maybe even brainstorm a bit on the kind of events we will like to host in the future.

Should you attend this event?

Whether you are new to the chapter or a recurring veteran, this event will be a great opportunity to meet other chapter members and the chapter leaders and to help come up with ideas for future events.

All learners welcomed, domestic and international. At the NYC chapter we welcome members from across the world!

NOTE: We will be hosting this event both on Friday and Saturday to give everyone a chance to attend. We will cover the same topics so you do not need to attend both unless you really like to hang out with everyone.

Here are the links for more info:

2021 Welcome Event (Friday)
2021 Welcome Event (Saturday)

I'll make it a point to regularly post here all of our future events. I don't know why we haven't done it before but that changes now. And no worries if you can't make it, we host multiple events online every month.

Got the tee

What a jolt of happiness this morning when I checked my inbox and found an email from Digital Ocean letting me know all my PRs had passed the review period and I qualified for this year's t-shirt!

It was my first time contributing to open source and even though it was a little daunting at first, I'm glad I did. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable is addicting!
