For those of you who are eager to jump in, here's a few ideas:
- Sign up for the GitHub Student Developer Pack, which has lots of great free and reduced-rates on developer tools for students. Some great benefits:
- Free AWS, Digital Ocean, and Stripe credits (and many others)
- Membership to Thinkful, including two weeks of one-on-one mentorship in Web Development
- Free domain registration for a year
- Unlimited private repositories on GitHub while you're a student
- Set up your dev environment on your computer (instructions for Mac, Windows and Linux)
- Create your first PR for CODE's open-source website. If you're not sure what a "PR" is or would like to work on this challenge with a friend, come to the next CODE meeting and we can parallel program and do it together :)
Welcome on board!
