We are very excited to announce the Code4LibNYC Winter Workshops, scheduled
for January 22, 2015 at METRO <http://www.metro.org/>. These workshops are
a chance for people in the Code4LibNYC community to drill down on some
helpful tools and code.

The morning (9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) workshop, led by Brian Hoffman, will be a
hands-on introduction to Rails, a popular web development framework. You
can find more details and register here: http://metro.org/events/575/

This afternoon workshop (1:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.), led by Ben Armintor, will be
an introduction to Project Blacklight (projectblacklight.org), an open
source discovery interface built with Rails. You can find more details and
register here: http://metro.org/events/576/

Notes:
- You can register just for one workshop, but there is a discount for
registering for both. See the registration pages for details.
- We are looking for volunteers at either (or both) workshops to serve as
teaching assistants/proctors. This involves helping participants as
questions arise while the workshop is ongoing. Please email us if you are
interested!
- Participants *must* bring their own laptops with Rails installed. We will
circulate instructions on installing Rails a week or so before the
workshops. Depending on interest, there may also be an informal
'install-fest' get together as well.

As ever, if you would like to see some activity or event as part of
Code4LibNYC, get in touch! We also have presentations from previous
meetings available at our libguide: http://libguides.metro.org/code4libnyc
