We hear from a lot of people we talk to that they're not sure whether they're interested in a job in the tech f ield\, because they don't know enough about it. Sometimes\, they've even been told that "\;programming is hard to learn."\; At The Tech Academy\, we work hard to break down the barriers between people and tec hnology. We think that\, with the right approach\, anyone can learn to c ode - and whether you end up working in technology or not\, the principl es behind coding are useful in a lot of areas. The Tech Academy is offer ing a free course on Introduction to JavaScript. JavaScript is universal ly recognized as a foundational language. It is present in every platfor m imaginable: like browsers\, mobile\, and desktop applications. This co urse is perfect for people with little to no experience in programming w ho are curious about a career in software development. In this practical \, hands-on class\, you'll learn the basics of these popular technologie s - and along the way\, you should find out for yourself whether technol ogy and coding are something worth looking into a bit more deeply. Pleas e Note:---Make sure to bring your laptop\, as this will be a hands on le arning process where you get to actually write your own code.---An RSVP is needed to guarantee a seat in the class\, though we may have a few op en seats for last minute attendees.\n\nTags: meetup:event=258101865\, me etup:group=techacademy\, web design\, software development\, javascript\ , new technology\, internet professionals\, Web Technology\, web develop ment\, programming languages\, mobile development\, agile project manage ment\, cms (content management systems)\, object oriented programming\, web programming\, computer programming\n\nImported from: http://calagato r.org/events/1250474848 URL:https://www.meetup.com/techacademy/events/258101865/ SUMMARY:Tech Academy Portland Meetup - Intro to JavaScript: A Free Coding Class at The Tech Academy LOCATION:The Tech Academy: 310 SW 4th Ave Suite 230\, Portland OR 97204 u s SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
