Don't Scare The Newbies ~ Creating Beginner Friendly Spaces

One of the hardest things to do as a developer is to develop and maintain a beginner-friendly community. This issue has a bit of complexity built into it as experts have a problem simplifying and relaying knowledge to beginners.

Using my last 6 years as one of the organizers for freeCodeCamp Atlanta, my talk provides a few actionable ways to create an environment that enables the retention and growth of beginners in a developer community. It is based on the article of the same title: =>https://tinyurl.com/ycv72hbh.

This talk will entail actionable tips and tricks that I learned as one of the freeCodeCamp Atlanta organizers. This talk may include:
=> The importance of creating beginner-friendly spaces.
=> How to support newbie developers and interested people.
=> The importance of communication in nurturing developers.
=> Results of the application of some of these details.
=> How to establish virtual and physical environments that enable newbie developers to thrive.
=> Etc

- This talk is aimed to be a community talk.
- It can be 30 - 50 mins long based on the audience.
- target: mid to snr devs.
