Hi,
I'm preparing my first workshop (Full Stack), it is about Angular + Express.js + Firebase + Google Cloud Functions. Basically, the backend is going to be Serverless.
Do you have any suggestions? as attendee or organizer, what has been your experience, good/bad points about any previous workshop you had assisted.
The workshop is on site, but I have created a small tutorial regarding the backend, feel free to check it out.

I run paid workshops in Toronto on AWS. This is what I do.
Thank you so much for your answer.
Regarding:
I print out all instructions for the workshop and put it in a dua-tang and give it each attendee
You print as well the whole workshop step by step ? or just general instruction. I was thinking about printing the whole workshop, so they will be force to type it, it could take longer but maybe they dont just copy/paste.
I have all attendees register into Slack beforehand, so during the workshop they can converse or ask questions or get help without interrupting instructor.
This is a very nice idea, you have 1 slack and create a channel per workshop?
Again, thanks for your tips.
When it comes to code I just let them copy it from Slack, but the reason I print out the workshop including screenshots so if they get stuck they can keep pace.
yep 1 channel per workshop
Oh you share the workshop code / tutorial in slack ? that is a good idea.
Yep exactly.
Good idea, thanks a lot for your help.
Be clear about what you will be providing or what attendees should have ahead of time. Software, hardware, etc, try not to assume someone will know what they may need for a workshop.
Yes, thanks, that is an important point, my idea is to send by email all requirements and a remainder about workshop content.
