1. The aim of these workshops.
2. Introduce yourselves.
3. Resources for these workshops.

1. The aim of these workshops.

• Give you as much practical experience (aka failure) to allow you to level up quickly.
• Having an organised way of recording what you are doing and your progress to your goal is just as important as choosing what your goal is.
• I started recording everything in text files after I had a disagreement on a project and couldn't prove what I said happened, happened. Also, naming conventions.
• Pair programming is encouraged via which ever platform you like (Skype, WhatsApp, Facetime, Zoom, TikTok, Instagram, whatever)
• I have a bunch of exercises ready, if you get to the end of the content in each workshop - just message me!

2. Everyone introduce yourselves!

• How you want people to address you.
• How are you feeling today?
• What course are you doing at UAL?
• What is your favourite song at the moment?
• What is your favourite book at the moment?
• What is your favourite thing to do at the moment?
• What is your Instagram? I will follow you.
• I'll go first!
