First night!
andrew.pegum
Thanks to everyone for coming on our opening night -
we had a great time and hope all you founder members did too, learned
something and maybe got a taste for coding! Thanks too to all the
parents and volunteers who got stuck in to make it all happen.
Next
week we'll be doing a follow on session on HTML. You should then be
able to make your own website so have a think what you might want it to
be about.
After that, we really want to know what you want to do.
We may do a different type of coding, split up into groups, some on
HTML, some not, whatever works. We're here to help you learn a new skill
and, more importantly, build something cool - you get to decide what it
is!
We have our own website at http://www.coderdojodunlaoghaire.com.
Right now, we've got some photos from last night up there and we'll be
putting up the slides and some HTML code from the first session there
too, soon. (In the future, we're kind of hoping you guys run it!)
If
you want to try learning the next bits of HTML yourselves, there's tons
of stuff on the web (it is what the web is made of, after all).
Good starting places are http://www.w3schools.com/html and http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web.
To keep in touch, join the mailing list on Google Groups. This will be a good place for us to make announcements but also for group discussion and asking questions.

Hope to see you all next week. Remember to charge up fully before you come and the one Coder Dojo rule: Above All, Be Cool
Thanks
The Coder Dojo Dun Laoghaire Team
