CodeUp Sheffield is a mentoring program for adults who would like to learn how to code for free. Once a month we get together to learn from each other, sharpen our skills and enjoy being in a space where everyone is immersed in code!
*Good news!*
CodeUp Sheffield now has a GitHub organisation! We will be using it to host source code for workshops and documents related to the running of CodeUp Sheffield. Take a look here: https://github.com/CodeUpSHF
*More good news!*
CodeUp Sheffield will soon have its own website!
*The best news!*
You're going to make it! The next CodeUp Sheffield event will be a workshop on how to make a webpage and host it using GitHub Pages. This workshop will be suitable for people who have never made a website before, and does not require previous coding experience.
You will need to install the following software on your laptop:
- A general purpose IDE (e.g. VS Code, Atom) or text editor (e.g. Vim, Emacs, Notepad++)
- A modern web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- Git (https://git-scm.com)
You will also need a GitHub account.
If you have difficulty with any of the above, please arrive fifteen minutes early, and we will try to help you get set up.
If you do not wish to participate in the workshop, the co-working space outside the meeting room will be used to offer the usual CodeUp format of learning to code through individual study, mentoring and collaborative work. Please note that there may be less assistance than usual, as some mentors will be assisting with the workshop.
Please RSVP as soon as possible and give your full name to help reception to check you in. If you are no longer able to attend please change your RSVP so that someone else can have your place.
If you can't wait until the event to start sharing interesting coding stuff and learning from each other, you can join our Slack workspace at the below link! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the "intros" channel. We are always happy to be able to welcome new coders to the group!

Many thanks to Sheffield Technology Parks for providing the venue! After the event, please leave them a review on Google maps.
One last thing...
We currently use CodeUp UK's code of conduct. If you view our GitHub organisation, you will see that there is a repository containing a proposed new Code of Conduct, which is based on Sheffield Digital's one. It will be open for discussion through GitHub issues for two months, after which the code will be officially adopted.
