"Hacking" isn't always a bad word in the tech space anymore, thanks to the growing popularity of "ethical hacking" and events like "hackathons".
Senior software developer Gwendolyn Faraday loves the power of hackathons to bring beginners together and let them sharpen their skills in a fun and supportive environment, and she now hosts her own hackathons for beginners.
In the episode, Gwen discusses...
- Why hackathons were so important for her own learning journey
- How to prepare for a hackathon and other hackathon tips
- What to do if you're going to a hackathon alone, instead of with a team
Learn more about Gwen and what we discussed on the Learn to Code With Me website.
