I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop at HackBCA’s Imagine 2018 event for a group of High School students in Hackensack, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon. I was very impressed with their engaging questions and most of all, their results! https://imagine.hackbca.com/workshops/

I’ve taught workshops around the world on various topics. While they’ve often been covering subjects of a more challenging nature, the end results were usually less impressive than what we achieved in this hour-and-a-half session on Decentralized Web Development with Docker, Nginx, and Filestack. I think that’s because the toolchain we used in this workshop was leveraging so much power behind the scenes with such a simple set of steps to implement. There were somewhere between 15-20 or so students at this event. I’ll recap what we did together here. https://goo.gl/R4xyFR
