New to programming/software development? Need or want a demo/1:1 session on tools or programming basics? Even git, the source control tool.

With the recent ick in the world I can contribute to less ick, or in some way help those that are directly affected by the ick. I can do this by sharing what I have learned in 20+ years of software development and engineering.

Especially welcome: folks that do not "look or live like me". Haters not welcome. Extra super especially welcome, based on Monday's celebration of an amazing American. (The guy who had a dream, not the asshat who kills other people's dreams.)

Hit me up, I would be happy to pair with you.

Probably the most helpful right away I could be would be to pair with someone who wants to learn how to use git. Git = a popular and commonly used tool that is used to revise and archive software code.

I have an interactive pairing technique for this that seems to work well.

@snacktraces I would be very interested in this! I’ve never learned this way, but would love to see how it goes.

Used a repository before years ago, but think it was just SVN, so worked a little differently. Now at beginner level git, but wanting to know more.

Learning Python alongside.

@AnAutieAtUni

I have started to refer to this as "git made easy". Part of the success so far has been* that we do not use actual code in the repo.

@AnAutieAtUni

Shout back if you want to do a session this weekend. (No strings, no fee, just sharing, by the way.)

@snacktraces I would love to! Honestly sounds awesome and would be very grateful for the support!

Not sure I’ll manage this weekend, though, sadly (have a pesky health blip at the mo). Would another day work for you? There’s no rush if you’re not free again for a while!

Also what format do you like to do sessions in? Also, I’m in the UK if that helps with scheduling.

@AnAutieAtUni

This past weekend was a perfect pairing time for me with cold weather and the Monday off work. But other times will come soon. I am in the Eastern US timezone, so maybe 5 hours behind you.
