Description

This event is an opportunity to start or further your development ability and knowledge of WET. During CodeFest, the most common feedback we received was that many participants did not know how to start developing with WET, but wanted to. In response to this issue, we have created the WET Discovery Day. It will be a 1 day, 5 hour event, in which developers will learn about the tools necessary to contribute to the project themselves.

Requirements

As a pre-requisite, you will be required to:

  1. Create an account on Github.
  2. Bring a laptop, which you can develop with (recommended software) and is Wi-Fi capable.
  3. Have some understanding of Web development, knowledge of Javascript and JQuery in particular will be very helpful.

3. [01:00pm – 02:30pm] Introduction to the Web Experience Toolkit (WET) – Presenter: Madeleine (@MaddyDaigle) RCMP
