The first We Rise Women in Tech conference, June 23 – 24th was organized by Women Who Code Atlanta. I’m in my mid-fifties, and after a mid-life career reboot (second degree), and starting some of the organizations I felt were essential to my – and others’ success in the Birmingham metro region – was only now getting out to my first tech conference. I was looking forward to more of the welcoming environment that I had found at the first Women Who Code hackathon in July 2016. I had to work Friday (the first day), so was only able to attend the Saturday sessions. My notes on the sessions I attended continue below the break.

Just home from Women Who Code Atlanta’s We Rise Women in Tech conference. I have lots of notes to look through, suggestions for task-specific SDKs, contacts to follow up on, and new topics to explore. Reconnected with women I met last year at the first hackathon. I was only able to attend one day of this two-day conference due to work obligations but enjoyed every dang minute of it! So much positive energy, engagement, encouragement, reinforcement – it’s nice (and reassuring) to know that we’re out there, and we’re supporting one another. My notes from the sessions I attended follow.
Hot tip – the 2nd Women Who Code hackathon date is set for October 15 – 17th. Save the date!
I don't rush to recommend particular companies or programs. However, I've been using Treehouse for the past few months to get up to speed on WordPress - and have had a good experience with it. If you don't know anything about WordPress, want to learn more about how the framework works, and how to customize it, and are a visual or audio learner, this is a good learning tool.
And a wee bit of what I’ve been looking at over at Treehouse….
Because I’m easily amused by Code School badges….
