This is my first time. I've heard that codeland is a such a great event.Therefore um so curious to see whats going on there.Thats why I'm participting as a newbie.ππ
Youhouu π₯π₯π₯π
I had a great time attending CodeLand last year.
I connected with some early career devs and learned a lot from the speakers! π
I hope this year I will meet more early career devs and learn much more from the awesome talks! π€©
I also need some motivation boost which I believe I will get from attending CodeLand π
Hi Ayu, weird question but can I ask how you went about connecting with other dev learners at the conference last year? I'm new to coding and conferences this and would really love to build my community of other dev learners so we can encourage each other, but not quite sure how π Also - thanks for sharing your posts and resources ππ»
Hey Kat, thanks for reading my articles ππ»π
How did I do that last year, exactly as what you do here! π
Codenewbie will create threads before and more during the conference. We can drop comments and interact with each other, just like what we're doing right now π
I still communicate with some other devs through comment in our posts and Twitter π
You can always try to gather people to learn together. Maybe create a #discuss post here on CodeNewbie to throw the idea of learning together and goes from there π
Hi Ayu, thanks for the reply and all the detailed advice, it's really appreciated and a #discuss post sounds like a great idea ππ» π Oh, it's good to know I'm not totally off the mark here π€£ That's nice you're in touch with other devs from here!
CodeLand always has lots of great talks. The talks on the program this year are going to be great and are going to be diving into important topics new developers will be interested in and dealing with as they continue coding. I am also excited to connect with other developers and see what other surprises CodeLand might have in store.
Hi Sarah ππΌ "Inclusive Web Development" looks interesting (actually all the topics do!). But as a newbie I think it would be good if I could learn inclusive and accessible practices early on - as an essential dev toolkit rather than an addon.
I would like to connect with other webdev learners too π It looks like you're much more experienced than me, but let's encourage and follow each other on here and Twitter if you like!
This is my first time attending. I have seen the videos from last year Codeland. I would like to learn more about the currently tech community and careers in tech as I am starting a career as a software engineer. I also would like to inspire from leaders in tech and professionals participating in the event.
Because of codeland i hv been able to understand what careers I should offer and take in the technology industry
Kaizen
I am eager to learn from others and already last year there were many great speakers, talks I felt related to. CodeLand is the perfect event for early career developers (and more experienced ones) to see other perspectives, listen to other stories, learn from each other and connect <3
There are so many whys, it would be easier to ask why not!
I'm a soon-to-be graduated Full Stack Dev so I'm hoping the talks will not only improve my knowledge, but inspire me too! Hoping to land my first job by the end of the year π
Congrats on your upcoming graduation! Can't think of a better reason to attend CodeLand!
I'm new both in coding and at CodeNewbie community. I'm attending to get to know more about everyone and the talks :)
Same! This will be my first online convention and I'm not really sure what to expect but I'm super excited!!
Me too! Not really sure how to go about it, but hoping to learn as I go and connect with others! What topics are you attending? And ππΌ from another regional Victorian (now living in Melbs) π
Hi! I haven't really checked the schedule yet and I'm only just starting to learn how to code, I'll attend whatever is relevant I guess.
I'm just checking out the schedule now, so I'll message you with my picks in case we can join in together π
Yes, thanks! I'll be on as much as I can to start with since I'm still not sure what's going on π
Okay so I'm thinking Inclusive Web Design Friday 4.21am
And 3.54am our time π± the Teaching through Code review one looks interesting.
I also like the sound of -
Building Your βAccomplishment Journalβ: the What, the Why, the How - Sat morn our time 6.22am
Accessibility is not a Mystery - Playing Live at 3:43 AM Fri & On Demand at 2:40 AM Saturday (but the times π±)
They all sound very beginner friendly. The timing is crazy though, I'll have to set my alarm. Do you know how do we join the talks?
I think it's on this link: community.codenewbie.org/codeland
And if you join the Discord you can chat, it's in a recent email
Yup, talk about an early alarm βοΈ βοΈ π«£
omg thanks for this. I didn't even know this is a thing!
haha me too tbh, i'm kinda just making it up as I go along π€·πΌββοΈ
Honestly speaking, i am a newbie developer, just learning stuff. So, I was caught by the discussion that is for beginners.
The talk, the event, the discussion, looking forward to those and maybe on top of that, I'll get some prize.
A mixture of learning through the talks and hopefully a bit of networking as well!
Last Year CodeLand is awesome.Learned lot from talks and networking with others.This year waiting for awesome talks
I just want to get the experience in here, at CodeLand.
Iβm new to the world of coding, so it is cool that there is conference dedicated to that.
