GDIC Updates and Free Spots for Startup Weekend this Friday

[Kim Hamper]

Hi all,

Just a few quick Girl Develop It Columbus updates:

1) Summer classes have started! Newbie HTML/CSS is underway and we have three more class starting in August and September:

Intermediate HTML/CSS - starting Tuesday, August 13th

Newbie JavaScript - starting Thursday, August 15th

PHP MVC - starting Thursday, September 12th

Visit each class page to find out more. If a class peaks your interest, you can register straight through the Meetup page by RSVPing. We hope to see you there!

2) We have another great Hack Night happening tomorrow. While "Hack Night" might sound intimidating, the event is super low-key and friendly. Don't worry if you don't have a project currently - come anyway! It's a great place to meet amazing people, to learn and to ask for advice on how to learn more.

3) Startup Weekend has again provided us with 10 free last minute tickets! Startup Weekend is this weekend starting Friday, July 26th and running through Sunday. More information attached below.

We're working on getting more regular updates and resources out to our members. If you're someone (or if you know someone) who is passionate about social media and building communities on the web, please get in contact with me at k...@girldevelopit.com or stop by an event!

Wishing you all a fantastic week. :)

Best,
