She's Coding; Cracking the Coding Interview

Are you on the lookout for a new developer job? Do you want to brush up on your interview skills? Join us for Cracking the Coding Interview, a technical interview preparation session with fellow job searchers and coaches. We will build peer groups that go through algorithm and data structure interview questions, following the Cracking the Coding Interview book by Gayle Laakmann McDowell.

This session is being led by She’s Coding. She’s Coding is an open-source, non-profit, volunteer-driven project that aims to close the gender gap in tech through community involvement, education and empowerment.

Remember to bring your laptop and/or paper notebooks! We will have a couple of white boards at the space, but depending on the number of people joining, some groups might need to use laptop and paper. Also, in case you own the book, please feel free to bring your copy for reference.

Future is Female: Women's Experiences in Tech Education. (World Cafe)

Let the record state, there IS a place in the world of technology for women! This will be a conversational panel conducted as a world cafe.

What is a World Cafe?

In short, a more interesting way to network.  We will set the scene by inviting individuals who are at different stages of their tech education experience. We want to create a space for each of them to speak to their experiences. Each interest group (current student and alumni) will be at a different table. Guests will have the opportunity to rotate through the tables to meet a variety of individuals and learn from their experiences.

Our panelist will answer:

  1. What drove you to getting more education? (What was your inspiration? How did you get the support to get started?)

  2. What are valuable learnings along the way? Was there a moment or a piece of advice that helped you know you were on the right path?

  3. What drives your future? What is your advice for someone who would like to continue along a similar path?
