Welcome all to 2014! It will soon be February, which also means the start of a packed year of Girl Geek Dinner events. The first event for the year will be on the second Tuesday of February, held at Atlassian.

This meet up will be geared towards getting you into the mindset of the upcoming She Hacks hackathon in March. Everyone is welcome to attend :)

Girl Geek Dinner Meetup at Atlassian
When: Tuesday 11 February, 6pm*
Where: Level 6, 341 George Street
(Enter via Wynyard St – look for this interesting clock)

This month, we have lined up three speakers to get you started on tackling any hackathon!

Georgi Knox: Creating Hybrid Apps with PhoneGap
Learn how to create and deploy cross-platform apps to Android and iOS using standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript using the PhoneGap platform.

Alice Wang: Whirlwind tour of version control and Git
Introduction to distributed version control and overview of basic Git commands to get you started with any development project.

Kris Howard: Channeling your inner Peggy Olson
Coming up with a great hack or product doesn't mean much if you can't sell it. Kris will discuss the importance of your hackathon presentation along with tips and advice to make it more effective.

*Note: Please try to arrive on time as the lifts need swipe access to get to Level 6. There will be someone to swipe people up, but they can’t stay downstairs forever!
