Maybe you’ve heard of it, but the buzz at Tech Talent South lately has been all things Pop Up Code!
 

This 2-week intensive program is a lot what it sounds like, and we’re digging it! So, the idea? We’re visiting cities across the country to give you a taste of what’s it’s like to go to code school.
 

From basic HTML and CSS to building out apps you hear of everyday (you build that Instagram clone!), you’ll be expanding your knowledge and learning more about what topics you like. We see so many exciting ways tech is growing across the nation- you have the bigs ideas, you have the community to help build them, so we’re coming to you!
 

Sound fun?

What was appealing about the Pop Up Code program to you at this point of your learning to code journey?
Everything I knew about web development and coding I learned ad hoc via accumulated Google search results. I had no foundation, and the opportunity to establish a foundation through this boot camp was extremely appealing. I knew it would empower me to continue growing my skills. Also, the topics listed on the website were perfectly suited to what I wanted to learn.
