Go Padawan Night
May the force be with you, young Padawan.
Join us at Capital Factory for a night of community, Go, Star Wars, and food!
Go Padawan Night is a meetup where developers ("Padawans") new to the Go programming language give a presentation about one aspect of the language they've found technically interesting or unusual.
It is designed to help college students, new grads, and Go novices master the language and improve their technical confidence. It is also designed to help experienced Go developers give back, deepen their love of the language, and meet other enthusiasts!
Pizza, beer, and other light bites will be served so please come hungry. We'll be on the 1st floor of Capital Factory in the Voltron room. Parking validation for individuals and Uber codes for groups of 3+ are available.
Meet some of our Padawans:
Ayush Mahajan - Undergrad - presenting on SQL & Go
Aniket Chaudhari - Undergrad - presenting on AI & Go
Jake Kearns - New grad - presenting on DevOps & Go
Dan Knight - Experienced, new to Go - presenting on Rapid Prototyping & Go
Nathan Gartlan - Experienced, new to Go - presenting on Software Architecture & Go
