Autumn Author Chats
An Afternoon with Pragmatic Bookshelf to Benefit codebar
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, autumn is nearly here: colorful leaves; cool, crisp days; and pumpkin spice treats. You also have a chance, on October 7, to join talks with authors from The Pragmatic Bookshelf and to save on great programming books. And if you’re in the southern hemisphere, don’t worry. You can get in on all the events, deals, fun, and fundraising too.
Headquartered in the UK but with chapters around the globe, codebar is on a mission to help foster a healthy and diverse tech community through free workshops and training, career support, and collaboration with and sponsorship from some of the biggest names in tech. October 7–13, you can take part and show your support by joining us for An Afternoon with Pragmatic Bookshelf.
