HackDays Philosophy
- You’re a lot more productive when there’s a time limit
- When learning to code, the fastest way to learn is by making something
- The best way to be introduced to new programming concepts is by interacting with other hackers
What are HackDays?
HackDays are 4-6 hour mini hackfests. If you’ve never coded anything before, Hackdays is a great place to learn. If you’re a developer, it’s a nice place to be productive or try a new framework.
Pros
- Learn a new language or framework
- Talk about techy things
- Meet people who know techy stuff
- Make something in a few hours and add it to your portfolio
Cons
- You have to wear pants
