Fantastic tricks and where to find them
I have done the “Fantastic tricks and where to find them” talk in 2 conferences, T3chfest and Women Techmakers Madrid.
In this talk I wanted to share some resources to start as a front-end developer, although a lot of them can be used in other fields as well.
I mix the Harry Potter universe and the front-end development world and I enumerate some tricks to learn:
-
Learn the basics and good practices.
-
Add some tools to help your daily work.
-
Organize yourself.
-
Go to conferences and meetups. Do some courses and workshops. Read articles. Listen to podcasts. Inspire yourself with websites.
-
Practice while you learn, code in Codepen or GitHub Pages to share your work anywhere.
-
Don’t try to learn everything at once and look for companies that help with learning.

The importance of being involved in the programmer community
I started to be more involved in the programmer community since I when to the first Ada Code Group meetup in Madrid. I realized we are few women in technology, but we are more than we think and we do a lot of interesting stuff that need to be shared.
I wanted to share my experience of getting involved in the community with a group of female programmers inside the Adalab program. I spoke about:
-
Going to conferences and meetups.
-
Knowing other developers with Twitter.
-
Doing my first talk.
