I think it's a hard sell on vim/emacs, but the positives are: available practically everywhere, including some random box your boss set up in 1991 in the corner of the office, emacs uses fairly common (unixy) bindings for lots of actions, both encourage typing practice and touch-typing which I believe to be reasonably important. But I do understand any hesitance
I have to agree with @despo. Not worth trying to teach vim/emacs at the same time as coding.
And I say that as a vim user.
It might be because the Wednesday workshop is now fully booked. When I try to attend now, the following message appears above the hero image: "Unfortunately there are no more spaces left :(. If you would like to join our waiting list send us an email at london@codebar.io"
In other Codebar news, for those who didn't make it, Rosa did an awesome job representing Codebar at LRUG this evening. Her talk should be up on the Skillsmatter website soon.
@all is anyone up for working on this? https://github.com/codebar/tutorials/issues/99#issuecomment-49043807 @jkbits1 ?
or more generally, there are a couple of issues that I opened after the meeting we had last month to discuss missing tutorials and courses. If you think/have the time to pick up one it would be great. The format should be similar to other tutorials, following a learn by doing style. https://github.com/codebar/tutorials/issues?state=open
@despo, I'm happy to take a look at this issue. I'll try out installing the gSchool tables in sqlite, and create the answers to some of the exercises. I can create some headers for a tutorial, and write some instructions, but I'll welcome some assistance in making the text sound as friendly and interesting as the existing codebar tutorials!
Hey guys, I'm new here. I'd like to attend the next event as a coach, but I've had a slight concerns. I've worked as a developer in London for a year or so, therefore I'm not really confided about if my skills in the language would be enough to lead other person towards improving her skills. I've been programming for almost 20 years, so I'm merely worrying about my English. But, I must say that I have a huge motivation to help other people to get better at programming. What are your thoughts on this?
@vbence86 judging from your message your English is just fine :) And if you have been programming for 20 years I’m sure you have plenty of knowledge to share. Many of the codebar students have just a little coding experience or even none at all: I’ve done the introduction to HTML a few times already. Just register as a coach, wait for the invitation to one of the events, come along and see whether you like it.
i made some dns changes yesterday so if you notice anything let me know
@giannismelidis and hi.
No it doesn't work for me yet :-) But thanks for checking
in the meantime you can access things at http://github.com/codebar/tutorials/
in the html/js/ruby/git directories
