Common questions
Is WeCode for people who want to be engineers?
Some students do go that direction, but WeCode is built for working professionals who want to ship software, not necessarily change jobs.
Do I need any background?
No. WeCode starts at zero.
Can I use what I learn at work?
Yes. That's the main point. Most students ship something tied to their day job during the workshop.
