What do you expect from a Coding Community?

(check out my blog)

Hello everyone! 👋

This post is intended for developers and for those who want to be developers. It's very long, but we're not on Twitter, right? 😊

As you probably don't know I run a free learning community for #FrontEnd developers with a special focus on #JavaScript. 💻

It's called "CodeJourneys" , it has 400 members, was founded almost two years ago and is constantly evolving.

All events and workshops are always and will always be free.
Mentors and teachers work on a voluntary basis.

Lately the community has cooled down and not many learning sessions have taken place.
We had a lot of Kata-Challenges, Live Coding session, workshops, shared projects, talks about culture & dev life, etc. etc.

Now it's time to relaunch the community and the activities, that's why I need you for some brainstorming!

  1. 💡 What do you expect from a free learning community for Front-End Developers?
  2. 💡 Would you like to participate as a mentor? (give talk, host learning session / initiatives)
  3. 💡 Would you like to join it? (join us: https://lnkd.in/dvadMBdZ)

I'm considering the following initiatives:

  • Deep-dive learning sessions about a specific topic (every 2-3 weeks)
  • Virtual Book club
  • Weekly JS Kata Challenges + discussion group

Feel free to leave your feedback or any kind of idea/proposal.

Thank you very much for your time and support! 🙏
