Hello, and welcome to the Developer Student Club at the University of Birmingham!

We're really proud to be part of a a new, worldwide initiative, lead by Google! Throughout the year, we're going to be running developer clubs, with talks, workshops, mini-hackathons, and anything else that you guys want.

The idea of the program is to try and link the theory that we learn at uni, with the practical skills required in the real world. So, during our sessions, we're going to be using industry-standard tools, common APIs, and a whole variety of different technologies to build awesome real-world projects that can go on a CV or portfolio.

Essentially, we're here to help you out, so if there's anything that you think we should run, then contact us!

Here you can see a list of some of our previous epic projects/workshops that we've had!

Docker Workshop

Justin ran a fantastic workshop as an intro to docker, a fantastic tool to help manage deployments of software! 👏

We covered all the essentials, from what containers actually are, to running them, and building our own images and playing around on Katacoda! 🎉🎉

Git Workshop

Nov 11, 2019

Justin and Will hosted the “Git Bit”, an introduction to the best VCS out there 🥰

In the workshop, we covered everything from making a first commit, all the way to resolving some merge conflicts 🎉 At the end, everyone signed the guestbook by forking the repo and making a Pull Request!
