Join us for Craftwork San Francisco on August 7
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build a GitHub App from scratch.
Greetings, San Francisco! Join us on August 7 for our Craftwork event. This workshop is open to developers of any skill level who want to learn how to use the GitHub API to build better developer workflows. We’ll have stickers for everyone, too!
GitHubbers will walk attendees through the process of creating their first GitHub App. This workshop will cover:
- Introduction to the GitHub Apps flow
- Probot, a great tool for getting started building GitHub Apps
- Hosting code with Glitch
Beginners welcome
Craftwork is a hands-on workshop for learning how to build GitHub Apps—tools that can help make you and your team more productive with GitHub. The atmosphere is casual and informal; we’ll all be working together and helping each other out to build or first GitHub Apps. You will be able to work at your own pace with the help of a GitHubber nearby in case you run into any trouble.
You’ll leave with a working GitHub App, deployed and ready to use, and the confidence to continue building the tools you need to be more productive with your open source project, or at your work.
