Workshop Description

This workshop is intended to reach out to women, non-binary people, and all underrepresented populations who are interested in learning Scala.

In this workshop, we'll take you through the basics of functional programming in Scala, a powerful programming language. By the end of the day, you'll have built several doodles using Creative Scala, have a basic understanding of functional programming, and a grasp of Scala fundamentals.

Previous programming experience is NOT required. Please ignore the course info/ background level above.

Students will be separated into different groups based on the experience level they choose when signing up.

This workshop is FREE, but registration is required.
