Hi, Christina! I don't have a workshop to propose, but I *do* have a plea for any workshop that is a hands-on-the-laptop experience: That the presenter of said workshop provide links, in advance, to any software needed. If the presenter would suggest the use of vagrant or docker (or whatever else is out there), then links to those tools, plus good, easy implementation instructions, should also be supplied in advance. In addition, if the workshop is going to feature a particular language or framework, that should be specified in advance as well. (why no, I *don't* know how to spin up a web server on my Windoze laptop; at work I do it in Linux!) I have unfortunately been to too many workshops where the presenter either assumed a crystal-clear, fast, internet connection for the 40 participants, or assumed a lot more vagrant/docker knowledge than I, and several others, had. (hmm, maybe I can find someone to propose an "everything you need to learn, software package-wise, to take advantage of Code4Lib hands-on workshops...) Cheers, Bobbi
