#STENCYL STILL SUCKS CODE#

It turns out they’ve branched out to also doing part time coding classes as Code Collective, so they were super keen to get onboard! Collective Campus are our first official sponsor, and happily continue to host us every two weeks! Nathan Gell (OG Meetup attendee from first photo) doing a “Success Story” Lightning talk, after landing his first coding job! I reached out to a Co-Working space called Collective Campus that I found through Google. Without a venue, I personally found it too stressful, and frankly, too much work. Getting a permanent venue was the most important thing for me as an organizer to make the meetup work. In fact, it feels like this is the point where it really begins! Back Up and Coding The learning doesn’t stop when you get a job. In September, I finally got to a point where I could put time back into the freeCodeCamp Meetup. They later offered me a full-time junior developer position, which I gladly accepted! Visiting the Xero office in San Fran on the Catalyst AU Trip I got an internship at an awesome company, Xero accounting app. The Facebook group and Meetup group still had people joining. The Slack group still had peeps chatting. *Sad face*Ĭampers were still coding however. Yay! I only knew week-by-week whether there would be space available on campus for our meetup, and by now I was thrust into the job hunt frenzy that follows these courses. In June I graduated from my 3 month Bootcamp. Harry (top) talking about ES6, and Matthew giving an intro to D3 (bottom) Having a little life break And I even stumbled through Git and GitHub basics. One of my bootcamp classmates, Harry, delivered an intro to ES6. We kicked off meetups with lightning talks as we had a private space and a projector. I needed the accountability of other people, I needed the help, the contact, so all this felt purely selfish!Īs soon as we started hosting the event on the campus of the bootcamp, we were getting 13–16 RSVPs - and most of them actually attending! Running the meetup every two weeks was really important to me.

So I let the chairs go.Īt this point, I was actually attending a coding bootcamp, so I asked if they could host us. In the end, out of the 6 RSVPs, 3 people showed up. So I had to hoard chairs, and felt like a A-grade a-hole when telling people I needed them. I quickly found out that you can’t reserve tables and finding empty chairs is about as likely as stumbling upon a unicorns in a meadow. But I had never actually studied in a library. The second meetup was at the State Library of Victoria in the central business district. We got to know each other, did some Github Pages stuff. I hang out on my laptop in bars and cafes often enough, but solo, with headphones in. I quickly realized that bars suck for coding. Luckily they were ace, and a few tequila shots later I had secured a table for at least eight squished coders!Ī few brave people ventured their way in, and sussed out which one I was! I stared at everyone I thought could be a coder, it was weird, I was weird. We had 9 RSVPs! I ended up plucking up some courage and offered to buy a nice couple some drinks if we could swap tables.

I found a two person table, and started panicking. I arrived early so I could secure a big table, since the bar didn’t let you book tables in advance Call me naive, but I had no idea that people liked to drink at bars in the city after work on a Tuesday! On April 19th, 2016 we kicked off the first freeCodeCamp #Melbourne meetup at a bar in Melbourne, Australia called 1000£ Bend. I am personally kept motivated and driven by those I surround myself with, and the freeCodeCamp members are the most passionate people I know. In short, the freeCodeCamp Melbourne Meetup started off small and average, now is growing and great.
