Which track should I pick? Ruby on Rails or JavaScript/Angular? It is best to pick a language that you already have some exposure to and build upon your knowledge. However this is a great opportunity to explore and build a web app in a new language!
I know how to program - How can I help? We’re also looking for people to be coaches. We’ll have a two-three hour workshop before the event to walk you through the curriculum. Apply here
