Enroll now for Ruby on Rails & JS workshops with our Senior Developers, QAs and PMs on the hottest dev topics of 2020. Improve your skills, gain some experience, make new friends! It’s free but only the chosen ones shall pass.
Spark Academy workshops are happening every second Thursday of the month at 18.30 (for 2 hours) at the Spark’s office at Jasna 15 in Warsaw. Each workshop has a separate topic (pick yours below) and some will consist of a live coding or devops session. If you want to learn something new and spend time with people passionate about software development – these workshops will be great for you!
The first edition of Spark Academy took place in October 2018 through February 2020. There were 7 workshops dedicated to junior Ruby on Rails developers, each one with an experienced mentor and over 30 participants (there was pizza & beers too!). This time we’re expanding the subject range and we’d like to invite not only junior devs but also senior and mid-level as well as PMs and QAs.
Participation is remote through Google Meet with screen sharing due to attempts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Spark Academy workshops are free and open to all interested parties, however, due to the limited number of places, prior registration is required.
