About Learn to Code

During these events, there will be a mixture of interactive workshops and talks. We will be teaching you the basics of programming using Python http://www.python.org/. These events are good if you have zero coding experience, but they are also valuable if you already have started coding and would like to better your skills. We also welcome people who already have good coding experience as the more volunteers the better!

These events are always followed by our weekly Geek Night http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/geek_night/.

You can find out more information about this series of events over at ox.compsoc.net/learn http://ox.compsoc.net/learn/

We also have a facebook group for discussion if you are taking part in this course: fb.com/groups/OXLearnToCode https://www.facebook.com/groups/OXLearnToCode/

...and a group for those who would like to volunteer: fb.com/groups/OXLearnToCodeHelpers https://www.facebook.com/groups/OXLearnToCodeHelpers/
