Spark Academy workshops are happening every second Thursday of the month at 18.30 (for 2 hours) online. Each workshop has a separate topic (pick yours below) and some will consist of a live coding or devops session. If you want to learn something new and spend time with people passionate about software development – these workshops will be great for you!
The first edition of Spark Academy took place in October 2018 through February 2020. There were 7 workshops dedicated to junior Ruby on Rails developers, each one with an experienced mentor and over 30 participants (there was pizza & beers too!). This time we’re expanding the subject range and we’d like to invite not only junior devs but also senior and mid-level as well as PMs and QAs.
