The „codettes“ are born: we’ve teamed up with Netlight’s Code Pub / the Munich Geekettes and are joining forces for the first time this year to host a 1-day conference. 🎉

We’re all very excited to present you with one full day packed with workshops for everyone, no matter what experience or knowledge you bring to the table.

Never coded before in your life? We got you covered.

Enjoy a bit of coding even though you’re not trained to? We got you covered.

Used to code and want to get back into it? We got you covered.

You’re a pro, hold a degree, or are currently studying informatics? We got you covered.

All you need to know

We’ll all spend a beautiful Saturday at Netlight’s amazing office in Lehel, there will be food and drinks, child care, things you’ve never tried out before, new input for you and time to get to know everyone else there. Two parallel tracks will allow everyone - no matter what your background is - to get into coding, tech hands-on and build up new skills. Both tracks are limited to 40 people each to make sure we have all our questions answered and no-one is left behind.

Track 1: Learn to code

JavaScript for beginners & data visualisation for beginners


Track 2: Tech hands-on

Data science & Virtual Reality workshop 

Additionally you will be able to choose between a Yoga break and a life-design workshop. And of course there will be a few surprises for you waiting throughout the day!

Data visualization talk & JavaScript for beginners Workshop Part 2

Data visualization can be a very powerful tool for interpreting data patterns when it is used wisely. Choosing appropriate visualizations can be crucial and make the difference between spotting or hiding those patterns when you perform data analysis, create reports or build dashboards. In this talk, we will go through some examples that illustrate best practices for data visualizing to get a deeper understanding of how to use visualizations to show what you mean.

3 things that you will learn:

  • Smart Visualization
  • Creative Approach to Data
  • Common Mistakes and Pitfalls

    You don’t need to bring anything as it will be in a presentation form.
