The November Tech Calendar covers upcoming events in the Triangle and beyond.
Triangle Startup Weekend (TSW) – Friday, November 15, 2013 at 6:00 PM – Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 9:00 PM (EST) in Chapel Hill, NC. This 54-hour event is designed to teach the skills of entrepreneurship by having participants work on a team to convert an idea into an operating business. During the weekend, participants create working startups and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs. NOTE, this TSW will be participating in the Startup Weekend Global Startup Battle!
GitHub Training at NC State University – Tuesday, November 19, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (EST) in Raleigh, NC. Git and GitHub have become indispensable tools for software developers of all backgrounds: industrial software engineers, computer scientists, and students and researchers in any other field in which coding is a key part of your work. In this three-hour workshop, GitHub trainer Tim Berglund will lead you carefully through the basic skills you need to be productive with Git and to collaborate with other developers on GitHub. Learn how to convert an existing project to a Git Repository, track changes to your project, protect your work from experimental changes through branching, push code to repositories on GitHub, and collaborate with colleagues through Pull Requests. Bring a laptop with Git installed and be ready to follow along! We look forward to helping work better together with Git.
