Coding Grace Dec Newsletter & Upcoming events


It's the end of the year already! Did you know we ran 17 workshops this year? That's amazing and it's all thanks to you, the awesome mentors and ever supportive companies, it has been a fantastic 2015.
Someone from HubSpot's engineering team contacted me and asked me to pass on this message:
Our team in Dublin is throwing a happy hour this Thursday (Dec 3) to meet some new folks in tech. A few of our female engineers and product managers will be there, and I'm sure they'd love to meet some other friendly faces! Hope you can make it! http://attending.io/events/tech-on-tap

Some interesting links I've collated for this month, you can find them here. Do let me know if you want me to include a link to share with folks.
Any enquiries, please email contact@codinggrace.com.
Finally, I want to wish you all the best and enjoy your holidays. Here's to the new year of 2016. Hope to see you all next year!
Thanks,
/// Vicky
