Free course for IT students, run by ThoughtWorks - "Dawn of the Devs"

Hi all,

Last time we ran a LevelUp event in Sydney, we posted on r/sydney and got a great response, so here we are again!

I work for ThoughtWorks, and me and some colleagues are running a free 6 week course for uni students to learn modern software delivery techniques, and prepare them for the "real" world.

If you're a student (you don't have to be a developer!), and interested in learning more, head on over to our website and register your interest.

Space is limited, and we always have more people register than we have capacity for.

Also if you have any questions, I can answer them here.

Is it only for students? and will you teach a language or is mainly dev process skills?

We don't explicitly limit it to students, but if you have years of experience in industry it may not be appropriate for you.

We focus primarily on process, but that's not to say that you won't learn a new language. In the past the course has been run using Lua, which most students aren't familiar with. This time around we haven't quite decided if we're going to stick with Lua or switch to something like JavaScript.
