Description: LAPTOPS NEEDED! Macs + Linux preferred.

Learn what the back-end of dev is all about!

This workshop will be a collaboration between CoreOS & Digital Ocean. In it, we'll create a server on Digital Ocean, & walk through the practical setup of stuff like SSH, the init system, & more. We'll also explore Container technology (like Docker), & compare & contrast it with the classic style of development.

By the end of this 2-hour workshop, attendees should have a Digital Ocean server running a basic website. Our goal is also to provide a basic introduction to back-end philosophies & concepts, empowering attendees to continue to explore the space on their own.

This workshop requires a Mac or Linux based laptop, & very basic experience on the command line. Look forward to seeing you there!
