It’s been floating around on the internet for a while now. In the first step you see two circles, while the next step shows a fully-finished, beautifully-drawn owl: Personally, I think a lot of programming tutorials are written this way. If not careful, folks can get sucked into this idea of building a fully-functional program in a few steps. These tutorials set unrealistic expectations for beginner programmers, which is why we created our programming workshops— they aim to fill in the gaps between these steps: On Thursday May 25th, we launch a new workshop on “How the Internet Works”. You’ll learn about the browser and other concepts and technologies that make the internet possible. [View the “How the Internet Works” Workshop Details]( On Tuesday May 23rd we’re re-running the “Introduction to Command Line” workshop. Get extra help with navigating and managing the Command Line file system. [View the “Introduction to Command Line” Workshop Details]( Here’s some of the feedback we’ve received from participants about the workshop experience: “Very helpful information on moving past the prep courses into the Core Curriculum. We got to practice some relative and absolute paths, and command line commands.” “It was very helpful to someone just beginning their journey.” “Am stoked that the workshops have returned!” Once again, do take the time to attend our workshops, even if you have been before. Our TA’s are always optimizing the experience based on the feedback we get. Chris Lee Founder of Launch School P.S. Please reach out if you need to, I’m here to help.
