Coding Grace April Newsletter & Upcoming events


Welcome to our April Newsletter, I've decided not to send it on April 1st. ;-)
March was amazing, especially during International Women's Day week.
Got mentioned a few times in the ole news:
- 15 wonderful women working to change the face of tech
- Dogpatch Labs celebrates Diversity Week
- Coding Grace partnering with Django Girls Dublin to host their first Django workshop this month.

Here's some links of interest that I pinned for this month. Do let me know if you want me to include a link to share with folks.
Any enquiries, please email contact@codinggrace.com.
Thanks,
/// Vicky

(Sat Apr 2) Animation & Augmented Reality Workshop with Pete McNally (Havok) on Photogrammetry, and Augmented Reality with Sam and Alex (Daqri) with AR Toolkit kindly hosted by Dogpatch Labs. Read more about it...
