Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Have you ever wanted to participate in live hangouts with coders?. If that sounds like you, let me share with you an idea I just thought about: Google+ Hangouts on The Weekends (Saturday) for coders(beginners and experts alike)!

I am looking for coders who are willing to hangout on Saturdays for a few hours (could be 1 – 2) on Google Plus. The hangouts will involve teaching each other new things and writing code to solve small problems that fit the available time span.

The main reason for this idea is because I believe learning is more effective when done in groups. I teach you something you don’t know and you teach me something I don’t know. It is that simple.

How It Will Work:

During the week, through a community on Google+, we agree on the topic that we would like to learn about. After that, we schedule a time on Saturday to meet online and have fun coding. Everything is really open. You are free to suggest anything as long as other coders agree to it.

Potential Topics of Discussion

I think there are numerous topics that could be featured but we will mainly focus on what we view as important to us. Among them are:

Design Patterns

Closures

Open Source Projects

Web Frameworks like Spring MVC, RoR

Integrated Development Environment and text editors

Algorithms and Data Structures

jQuery + Plugins

Angular JS

Python for the web

Java and its Gotchas

WordPress for bloggers

Networking – how to connect with people

Job Interviews

JavaScript – the good parts

Databases

Even more as time goes by

The list could be longer than this but I believe you already get the idea. Let me share one of my favorite quotes by Mother Teresa

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things – Mother Teresa

That being said, here is how you can notify me that you are interested in this could-be-fun adventure:

How to notify me that you are interested:

If you have a Google+ account, then simply add me to your circle and say something along the lines of weekend hangouts for coders. That will enable me to see your name and add you back to my circle of friends and to the weekends hangouts circle I am going to create.

That is all there is to it. I am personally excited about this learning adventure and I look forward to connecting with you and getting started. Again, you DON’T have to be an EXPERT in anything listed above. I am not an expert myself – so, all we need is the passion and the rest will follow.
