Code & Coffee
“When you become better at what you do, not only do you get the sense of accomplishment that comes from being good, but you’re typically also rewarded with more control over your responsibilities.”
Python girls warmly invites you to our code and coffee event!
Stuck on some code? Working on something exciting? Want to learn something new or teach someone? Bring your laptops, a sense of curiosity and join use for code and of course coffee
Code & Coffee are informal and inclusive co-working sessions.
