Office hours for programmers – all skill levels; from beginner to professional, any language. The format is super simple: you come with your laptop (or check one out from the library), a goal, sit, hang out and code. Feel free to flag down one of the organizers if you have a question. That’s it! If we can’t answer your question, we’ll find you someone who can, or at least point you in the right direction. Note that this is a meetup for people learning to code. Experienced developers are needed too, – we appreciate the help!
