DESCRIPTION:Laptops NOT required!
This monthly meetup covers algorithms. We'll split attendees into two main groups:
Whiteboarding skills:You'll solve algorithms in small groups, breaking off into your preferred programming language and working together to find a solution. Problems are provided and vary in difficulty, check out the Github for examples of past problems:https://github.com/WomenWhoCodeNYC/Algorithms
For Beginners:You'll pair with other members and practice answering easier algo questions. This group will be led by a more experienced developer who will help you out when you get stuck.
