Java for beginners  

Are you curious about programming but don't know where to start? Do you like meeting new people, enjoying nature and learning new things?  Then you've come to the right place!

Pink Programming are, for the third summer in a row, organizing our popular Java camp for beginners. We will return to the beautiful apple farm in Kivik for a five day intensive course in Java where, teacher-led lessons will be combined with hands on programming tasks - all to give us the best possible programming start. 

For those who like to stretch their bodies and relax their minds to get ready for the tasks, we will offer yoga classes every day. You also have the opportunity to go running  along the coast or walking in the national park, 'Stenshuvud', between the sessions. During the evenings we will cook delicious vegetarian meals and eat together and have time to relax after all new and exciting knowledge.

You as a woman or transperson, are welcome regardless of age and background. The only requirements are that you are new to Java programming, want to learn and have access to your own computer.

All you need to know

When and where?

Monday August 20 to Saturday August 24 2018 in Kivik, Skåne (detailed instructions on how to get to the camp will be sent out to the participant before the camp).

Who is this camp for? 

We welcome all women-identified, whether they are girls, aunts, ladies, cis or trans. Our events are of course also open to those who do not identify themselves as women but because of gender identity does not feel represented among programmers.

What are the pre requisites? 

  • To get something out of the workshops at the camp, we recommend this camp for those that are new to programming and are at a beginner level. Prior to the camp, detailed instructions on what programs to download before arrival, will be sent out to the participant .
  • You will have to bring your own computer.

What is the price? 

  • Regular price: 4900 SEK 
  • Student or unemployed: 2500 SEK 

What is included in the ticket price? 

  • Shared accommodation in our beautiful house in Kivik, with access to outdoor hot tub. 
  • All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) which we will cook together at the house.
  • Daily yoga classes with yoga instructor. 
  • An intensive course in Java programming for beginners. You probably will not be a full-featured Java developer after this camp but you will know what programming is about, can continue to evolve on your own, and above all, we hope you've had a lot of fun.

What is not included? 

  • Travel costs are not included in the price. Although, we advice you to take the train to Simrishamn train station and then take bus 'SkåneExpressen 3' to Kivik Torg where will pick you up. If arriving by car we will provide you with the gps coordinates as google maps can not find the address. 
  • Sheets and towels are not included, so you will have to bring your own. 

Will everything be in Swedish? 

Yes, the class will be held in Swedish, so it's mandatory that you have basic Swedish knowledge. But hey, check out some of our other camps that will be held in English.
