In this talk, I share my learnings from the past 6 years of building CodeNewbie, the most supportive community of programmers and people learning to code. I cover:
- How to build a community
- What people actually need to learn to code
- How we can help new and early-career developers
- How early-career developers help us

This was my first tech conference in a while. I must say it was truly an uplifting experience. Thank you so much for the work that you do with Code Newbie!
Always love hearing @saronyitbarek speak! The CodeNewbie Podcast was the first resource I found that answered lots of my questions about learning to code.
Thank you! I've worked with community building but I've never thought about being lovey, dovey, gushy as a moderation/filter mechanism. Will definitely use more!
"Good work is never done"
No question, but this is the first time I've come across your work online and WOW! It makes me motivated to go kick butt in tech just after like 2 min
Thank you @saronyitbarek , it is motivating and inspiring talk.
I loved the quote "Good work is never done". Can apply to not just coding but all areas of life.
Just wanted to say that you are an inspiration, thank you for all that you have done.
Nice opening talk. Any other UK residents here?
can we address the fact that DEV and CodeNewbie was the most wholesome tech thing ever?
