This February, MentorMate will join forces with DevFest MN to not only sponsor this year's DevFest, but to act as media sponsor, producing multiple live streams throughout the day, live tweets from the event and even a developer-focused photobooth! Google Developer Group DevFests are the largest Google related events in the world! Each DevFest brings in awesome speakers, great topics, and lots fun. DevFest will, at its core, be powered by a shared belief that when developers come together to exchange ideas, amazing things can happen. Follow @MentorMate on Twitter for live stream and social media coverage of the event!

Why Teaching and Learning Code is Hard

Code schools are a billion dollar industry, but they have mixed results and a bad reputation. What's the problem: teachers who don't know how to code, or coders who don't know how to teach? I'll draw on my experiences (and many challenges) as a 'dev boot camp' instructor to recommend a way forward for both new and seasoned developers.
